Meltdown Begins

Poor Murphy needs a bath - Monday night for her. We still have much snow but all along the pool is a lake and Dennis is busy trying to pump it off. I do not like standing water and the dogs think it is ever so much fun to run through it so I try hard to eliminate the possibility of creating more work. LOL

Here is the gallery.

I didn't get out today but last night I created all my cut files so I could cut between groomings and finish at my leisurely. It is called multi-tasking. I so wanted to get out the door but now it feels chilly. Tomorrow is another day and then it gets colder again. Oh well. It's not spring yet. Snow will come again and I will be able to capture the last snow of March with the dogs. Hoping April stays snow free but we shall see. I still need to book the pool opening.

We were lucky to not have any ice damage or wildlife damage this year. Some of our puppy people were not so lucky. We feel for them.

The dogs ran, stood and got mucky today. I washed blankets and put new ones down a number of times today. I even thought about putting dryers circulating to dry them but I did it the slow way.

We did have the windows opened today to get an exchange of air. It felt wonderful especially with the dryers going.

I have to figure out how to get Jesse in my bathtub to give him a bath. He can't fit in the sink. I will figure it out this week. I will also be fitting on Zoey this week.

I put hair bows on Ella, Roxie, Leti and Spirit and not a single one has them in now. I guess they are real havanese. Laughing hard...

Off to comb out Scruffy and Pepper before they depart. Then maybe I can convince the dogs that 9pm is te sleeping hour.
