Saying Goodbye

Connor, Magic, Mabel and Velvet departed today. 

Here is the gallery.

I just finished grooming. I thought I could shave a dog down without making him bald as a shiny belly but his mats were too bad so I spent time lifting up the mats so I could give him a short haircut. No names. I don't believe in posting such things except to educate. In this case they washed the dog and knots turn into felted masses when they are wet. Always get the knots out first before bathing. 

Dogs had a great time today. Nathan didn't get much sleep so he was less than a happy guy today. Hoping tonight he gets sleep. I didn't get much either but I live the life that life is too short to be crabby. hahahaha We each handle a lack of sleep differently.

I do need a swim though. A stiff drink is in my hands. Maybe my hands won't hurt so much.

No tv time tonight. Spicy follows me to the office each time to hang out with me. I think she likes me.

Till tomorrow...

Darlah - does the woman that made the custom dog collars and leashes still make them? If so, can you give me her website? Lost track of it.

She had many colours and designs to choose from and embroidered names on the collars and leashes.

Yeah she still loves me. Maybe she loves me more as I gave her the best of both worlds - Anne and Russell's and their visits to us. One thing I know for sure I couldn't have departed with her if I wasn't going to see her. Fiona was enough to set that mindset in motion.
