Cold but Fun One

Dolly and Inula in a dance - how grand. Too bad for us that Dolly is now home but good for her family. She gets to rest. Does she rest? hahahaha

Here is today's gallery.

It's been bitter cold outside so much so the dogs were lifting their paws. It is important to listen to your dogs. When they are lifting their paws it means they are too cold. You need to get them in. We had MANY outside adventures but as soon as those paws were lifting, they came inside. Some will even stand there with their paw up not moving so we pick them up and carry them indoors. 

I am groomed out. My hands are tingling. I have had too many demattings so tomorrow other than those departing, I am not grooming. We are also heading with the 2 pups to our friends for a brunch. We will only be gone for a few hours but Dennis will be here with the crew. We will see how Raven and Stormy do with Hugo and Milo. 

I am hoping class goes well on Monday. Raven is really getting this heeling thing at least here. We shall see what class brings. 

Still no connection from Leti but it's still early. Jeannie is in heat too so they hang out together in my office with me. Jeannie is not being bred. 

Dennis took all the photos today. I was too busy.

Oh, the cold has returned... the 'pups' still seemed to enjoy their outing.

Two beauties - Is that Safi and Roxie (or is it Spice and Leti) - can't keep them straight any more!
If the tingling is carpal tunnel, have you tried wearing a brace when grooming (cutting and dematting, not washing) or even at night sleeping? I find the brace gives immediate relief. I have to wear it for specific things (like pruning) and for a lot of other things when it's acting up. May be worth the try.

It is a trigger finger and carpal tunnel. All groomers seem to get it as there is a great deal of repetitive moves. I can't cut with a brace on. I have tried it. I can't use the scissors properly. Combing out is not as thorough. So I tend to do without. I may go back to wearing it at night.
