It started out looking like it was going to be cold and then it got hot. Pool time was had today by me. Nathan napped instead with several dogs. We each have our priorities.
This was my day off today but as I answered the door. Poor Michael was standing there with a skunk sprayed Brewer. His poor truck smelling like skunk. As I didn't have any skunk off on hand - I usually do not do skunked dogs as my house smells, I smell of it and well.... so I do not have it on hand. I should for my own dogs. So off to the vet he went to get it. Then I started trying to get the smell out. His body was reasonable but his head - the target still has the scent though not as bad. It was a process. I put skunk off all over. You heat it up under the dryer. You would think it would bake the oil in but it doesn't. It actually loosens it. I rinsed him, and then I used a high end clarifier from Vellus as the cheap ones dries out the coat. I used it over and over and over again and finished it with a Citrus shampoo and a VERY light amount of conditioner as conditioner holds the oil in. He smells better but it will take time.
No, I don't usually offer to do these services. i even had to clean the towels, teh grooming jacket and vinegar the whole grooming room. But hopefully Brewer is comfie now. It's not fun getting sprayed.
Then we had to run to Scarborough to drop off the Polaris. Then we had to exchange green bins. The city I live in replaces green bins at no charge if you buy them from them. Our green bin people throw them around so they crack etc.
Dogs were in heaven and still are in this warmth though that wind was something else a bit ago. Someone said it rained in Markham. We have had nothing but sun. The wind whipped that warm air around and dried my bathing suit. The dogs were not sure what to think of it especially Misty.
Tomorrow I am back to lots of grooming. I give up on Misty. I have her a bath 2 days ago and she is frightfully dirty.
Ziggy arrived. He keeps going on the top step of the pool and laying down.
Everyone loves the schnauzers. Pablo arrives tomorrow. Lots of fun!!
Oh and those cabinets won't work as they are too big so I am figuring out another solution. There is always something.
