Here's a photo of Messy Grannie Risa who just now finally got brushed out. This was her early morning - I am queen and I am going to stay out here all day cause the weather is great stance!
I was going to brush out Logan and Panda and post photos but Lynda brought me food (wow thanks) and picked up the duo early.
It was 79F they say today. We could have swam but Nathan was at the vets. I was here with the dogs. Next bath - for sure - remind me Lynda and a HUGE HUGE thank you! I didn't post I was on overload to hint about that - honest. I truly mean that.
I did demat a dog the other day and realized there is a direct correlation between dematting and how my hand feels but I also realized that I have something in my shoulder after I demat and I actually think that is where the issue truly is but that's Dr. Darlah talking - hahaha. I really shouldn't be dematting I gather. At least I never have to demat my own as I have grooming OCD. So my arm/shoulder will survive. My daughter the groomer reminds me that its either the knees, carpal tunnel or your back that gets you if you groom enough. She reminds me she did 18 dogs daily all this week. Well, she is far better than I but I bet you they were not all longhaired breeds. She's younger too - so make your mom feel like she is less than super human why don't you. :-)
Nathan wants Dennis to learn how to groom. That's funny. Now I want you to laugh as it really should be Nathan seeing he shows the dogs. :-)
Off to wash a couple that are going home tonight. Its 83F in the pool. I could have swam today but really had no time. Oh well. I can dream about it. Besides I need a swimsuit as mine has seen better days but in my backyard who can see me. :-)
Poor Fiona is beside herself as her pups are not here. Gad not good. Never seen her this way.

Looking at Risa, I now see where Scruffy gets that from :)
You now Darlah, when I am grooming and Scruffs is particularly knotted, I get shoulder pain too. For me it is posture and holding the position too long because I'm concentrating and don't realize it.
Lori: I actually get a knot I can feel. Hadn't realized it before and I do believe it's from holding positions too long. I do know the hand also hurts but I am not sure if that is in addition or the source truly is the shoulder. Are you using that spray I give you on the knots?
Yeah grannie Risa is a character. She adores being a mess and chillin'
The dogs are truly loving this weather - me too though not finding much time to enjoy it I do find that I say I will do the pups outside I get sun time too. Shhh that's my secret. hahahaha I may take Kat in the pool today or tomorrow if I can get away with it. Pool is almost 100% just slightly cloudy. It's cleaner than any lake. It's warmer too.
Nice to see Nana Risa enjoying the sunshine.
Yes, Darlah, the spray helps, thank you.
I think you have two separate but related issues with hand and shoulder.
My neck is tight as a rock and when I go for massage, I am sore for days. It's all that tension and knots in the area and even if you get rid of it, it just comes right back as soon as you go back to what you were doing.
