Little by Little

This is what happens when you play day in and day out with the Inula - your head hair gets chopped up and disappears. There goes her show career. Hair does grow but for hers to grow she has to stop playing with Inula. Inula does this to no one else except Ella. 

I just NOW finished doing dogs. I had a really, really full day of haircuts, baths etc. I also brushed the rest. I started at 7. Had moments of talking at the door but it was a 12 plus hour day. 

Here is today's gallery.

I had the pleasure of having a number of dogs that I adore that came for the day. One of them was Clarity (huge pleasure) and now that I am resting, I am using a present she gave me - well Clarity's mom gave it to me. What is it? Insta Shiatsu and oh my does it feel good. What a wonderful present. Very unexpected and very appreciated!

Tomorrow is Dennis' birthday and I told him he can do whatever he wants to and I will be doing all the jobs he normally does. I guess tomorrow is busy for me too. They say it will be warm. Hoping to snap some photos and enjoy life and maybe use my Insta Shiatsu.

Monday - xrays...

Poor beautiful Ella. I remember how long it took for Tuffie's ' top knot' to grow back.

Thanks, Darlah and Nathan, Clarity had an awsome time. She's conked out on my lap as I sit watching tv with my Insta Shiatsu! (I just sat down as well, but didn't start at 7 like you did!). Glad you like it. You deserve it ....Nathan, too.

Was also nice to see Olive's family again. We met on the first visit at talemakers when neither of us had our doggies.

Our daughter used it after playing golf. She is a pure novice (was her first course) and she welcomed the relief. So both of us made great use of it. I am so thoroughly trashed. I did 8 dogs today. Only Clarity was just trim the head. So I get Clarity. She really, really had a great time. She didn't even mind the bath or dry.

Hoping I get some time to sit in the sun tomorrow.

I am not sure what insta Shiatsu is but it sounds great and if it helps that is the best. I love Ella but that picture made me laugh. Looking more like Rusty. Have a GE
Feat day. Weather is great.

Ronnie look it up. It's WONDERFUL. Downside is you will want one too. :-) I charged mine just because and bonus I had a mini orange tomato in my box. heh

Patches ears are very ratty since we got Radar ;-) He likes to chew on them. Par for the course, who cares Patches' ears are ratty, she would much rather play with Radar!

ROFL - I had opened box to charge the unit before I got there. When I got in the car, I was carrying mini tomatoes to eat On the way up and the container tipped! I thought about checking the box to see if any fell in and forgot. ...
