Exhausted

What do they do after playing all day? This is the usual stance till they get their 2nd wind.

Here is today's gallery.

Dennis and Nathan took the photso so if your pup is not in this gallery, blame them. LOL

The faucet saga continues. I spent a ton of time trying to find one. I found shut offs are no longer available. You have to do them yourself. It has something to do with a makeshift bidet. More than you want to know. At least that is the story we were told.

The original faucet I was told was the best choice for a groomer but Amazon can acquire them from the manufacturer at the moment. So I cancelled that order. they had no clue when they would get them in. I called Global Industrial and the faucet suggested by one of you is not in stock and has a high pressure on it that is used to clean pans in restaurants. So, essentially a pressure washer in a faucet. After calling 20 plus plumbing suppliers, it all went back to no one had anything in stock that would work except a threaded faucet with a hose and sprayer attached. It is what I had. I never had enough pressure but I can't have too much pressure. Both Powell and Hudsons and Noble and many other places suggested I contact T&S directly. That was fun but they did tell me a place that had it in stock.  So, I did call them. They only do orders online - not on the phone - yikes. So, we will see if it arrives. I have no faith any longer. I will feel better when I get tracking - they say shipping won't happen till Friday. With the holiday, it won't arrive till who knows when. I will be glad when this chapter is over. If I end up hating the faucet, remind me I get what I deserve. 

Dogs truly enjoyed when we had shade today. Me, I kept waiting for the sun. Tomorrow I start doing serious grooming. I believe I am busy all weekend. I did get the liner for the cabinets. It's a two minute job now that I have something to size it to. 4 shelves out of 6 are done. I also have a step stool so I am not swaying. LOL

Dogs are laying all over Nathan outside while I am typing inside. I think it is summer and the dogs think so too! Time to watch tv and maybe have a gin and tonic! I best brush Tenshi again as she looks like I never washed her.

As usual, Patches and Radar are passed out. So much fun was had by both. Thanks so much, Darlah and Nathan. 🐶🐶❤️❤️

I am ever so glad and hope all worked out well. Everything dried quickly?

Yes thank you, it did. I turned the air conditioner way up to take the humidity out of the air😁

What a great idea, Angela!

Tenshi looks splendid, thank you for washing her! Her look can never stay perfect because smudging is her favorite activity. The faucet saga is really something, i never knew finding a faucet can be this stressful. I really hope you will find what you want very soon.

That's what mine looked like when they got home. They were exhausted. Looking at the photos make me smile, they've had a fun day and a spa day. Do you offer the same for their humans? Lol! I loved the photos of Louis on the red chair, and Glory playing with the other Havanese.

Thanks again for looking after them.
