Barney just departed today and he doesn't seem to mind the rain but today he had had enough of me grooming his feet etc each time he went outside. I was trying to keep him clean for his mom and dad.
I just love Barney. He is such a loving being.
As strange as it sounds, I was hot yesterday and chilly today. It's crazy weather.
Dennis and Jon are busy washing couches, carpets and all craziness today. Yesterday they halfway did the garage. Due to rain they couldn't complete it. Tomorrow they finish it. I am determined to get our van in the garage this winter. Each October we say - have to clean that garage and it never happens and new things are added - you know the old coffee maker that bit the dust, the broken sherpa bag and on and on and on. It is dangerous. The reasoning behind that is you must take it to the right dump station and their hours are never the same as ours.
Dennis has been nonstop working but that means I am everything dogs and I mean everything from grooming to entertaining to having silly conversations where they do not talk back. There are benefits.
I have changed Spicy's top knot 5 times today where Copper I have only changed once.
Another grooming tip - check ears. If they have a wad of hair stuck together that you can't get out, take some hemostats and pull it out. It is preferred to leave the hair but not if it is knotted. It is a hidden place that you need to check and comb. It sounds crazy but you do.
Dogs have been silly playing inside. Charlie arrived. You will recognize him as the shaved down dog who despite being shaved down has beautiful markings. He is a handsome guy. Some dogs can do shaved down - some look downright horrible. He is one that can sport that look and still look good, imho. It's like a shaved look on a woman. Some look stunning, many of us would not. I try not to shave down. Every now and then you have no choice.
This week is busy. On Wednesday we go off to the farm to see Treasure. We are deciding who to take. On Thursday the pups have their vet visit. Then Saturday the 8 week visit. Not sure if I can fit in a bath for the pups then but maybe one where I don't take photos. We shall see. Maybe wash them and let them air dry so you can all see them wet? Nah but it did cross my mind. They do look silly all wet.
Well, I had such a late night last night so going to get the blogs done. I wish I could go to bed NOW. But maybe empty the pvr - fat chance and relax. one can dream. I may be stuck hearing the wrrrr sound of the carpet cleaner all night long into the wee hours. It has to be back tomorrow.
