Last night I felt like putting my head down on the desk and bawling. When I woke this morning, my first thought was, “What was it I was fretting about?”, and had to concentrate in order to remember. As I’ve said before, I hate to hand over pets with an apology for something I was … Continue reading

Evening shift…
It was MY idea. I elected to groom a dog and a cat after supper time, as it turns out, instead of supper. The owner couldn’t drop off her pets until 4 pm., so I told her that I intended to work on them during the evening. Shortly after, she phoned and politely asked if … Continue reading
Hello Wednesday…
Am waiting for a dog to arrive for grooming. I’m enthusiastic about getting my hands on the little fellow; owner reports that he is in dire need of bath and haircut, and is very matted, but to leave the top knot and beard long, AND the fur around the anus. OKAY … There is a … Continue reading
Happy Easter, everyone…
I am wishing a good Easter weekend to everybody. I’m not religious and will not be going to church, but there is a certain pleasantry to this holiday regardless of our beliefs. Gary and I watched most of ‘The Ten Commandments’ this evening, and I recall watching the movie at my mother’s side, sometime in … Continue reading
Can’t think of a catchy title…
Really, sometimes I can’t think of a thing for that Title Field at the top of a new post. I’m so glad you’re here reading my Blog anyway. The day started just a little extra early, as a friend had to drop her dogs off for grooming before 7 am.. I know her well: she … Continue reading
Challenging day…
The work has not been too hard: I started out the day babysitting Seltzer, Maya, and Ceili, Baxter, Cooper, Beastie, Karma and Hunter, Missy, Gus and Willis. Now some of my darlings have gone home and others have arrived. Missy was picked up, and her owner was quite pleased with the results of the grooming … Continue reading
Busy days, smooth sailing…
Haven’t been fretting too much today, except that Shelly was travelling back to Calgary. I was very busy with dog care and grooming, and so the hours went by quickly, and my girl sent progress reports. I took care of Sky today, the beloved bearded collie cross who owns friends of mine. I love this … Continue reading
Here I am again, Part 2 … fretting
What do I have to fret about, you ask? NOTHING, really, but that doesn’t stop a worrier from worrying. Shelly is driving out from Calgary today. It was just last Monday that I had the prerogative of worrying until Susan arrived! This is all my blessing and great fortune, to be able to fret while … Continue reading
Here I am, again…
… here, in the “place” where I’m shuffling things around, deep in thought and emotion. I didn’t mean, “Here I am again, in my Blog…”, but that works, too. I’m trying to make room, particularly for the new grooming table when it arrives. Without intending to, I went on another voyage of discovery. This is … Continue reading
Competition …
I’ve neglected you so long that I got a “reminder” message from WordPress that I needed to post again in order to meet my own “goal”. This was something I filled in when I moved the blog, a response to a question about how often I intended to write. I haven’t even been too busy. … Continue reading
