Another of the old guard gone …

Today my youngest uncle on Mom’s side died peacefully in his sleep. Although Uncle Ken had experienced a few serious health challenges in recent years, he seemed to be doing very well lately. His family wasn’t ready to “lose” him, but I guess his way was the best way to go. Now there are just … Continue reading →

Today the sun shone most of the day, and it was warm. I talked to a senior friend tonight … she is twenty years my senior so I can say that. She said that she is not happy to see the end of winter because this is when all the hard work starts. To this … Continue reading →

Mostly, I’ve quit stewing so much. I had some wonderful work here today. I forgot to take pictures. The border collie that I gave “the whole nine yards” to was as pleasant as can be. He was not nearly the “mess” that his delightful owners thought he was. True, I did remove some “rose bushes” … Continue reading →

Yesterday I groomed this beautiful collie, Pluto. He is so quiet and respectful. Some of my combing, brushing and trimming would not have been that comfortable for Pluto, though I try to be very gentle. It took a long time to suds and condition his coat thoroughly, by which time my small tank was out … Continue reading →

So, somebody hurt my renter by telling her my complaint in my blog about the conflict over paint.  Truth is, my conscience had been bothering me, and I went over after breakfast and gave Rose the $100 that she had spent on brushes, rollers, and paint. It seemed like the right thing, and the kinder … Continue reading →

As if I wasn’t weary enough from my week, I had a short confrontation with my elderly renter this morning. I had phoned Rose to let her know that a mutual friend would be featuring half priced fabric and yarn at our downtown indoor market. She complained, justifiably, about pain from a lesion on one … Continue reading →

These are regulars who come for boarding and nail trimming: Jasper the shepherd, has always been good about pedicures, and with young Timber, it has been a process. Now Timber almost naps through a nail trim. Little Buster was here over Easter, and during the weekend his owner had her baby. We were happy to … Continue reading →

Sorry I didn’t get back to you when I said I would! I’m sitting in Gary’s recliner, tired, but happier than when I finished work yesterday. Yesterday’s task really kicked my ass. This is Sadie, an adult Newfoundland dog. I don’t want to complain in my Blog too much, but I was worried about grooming … Continue reading →

Am finishing my third cup of coffee and heading back out to finish feeding and reassuring all of the doggy guests. I think that if I didn’t have this career, I would cry over Lady and McKenna every day … I miss them so much especially when the house is quiet and the work is … Continue reading →

Happy Easter Weekend!

Even WordPress reminds me that it has been 10 days since you’ve heard from me. I don’t have a good excuse, just haven’t felt like blogging. I returned from my road trip feeling quite rejuvenated. I didn’t worry about anything here while I was away. In Calgary, I stayed with Kim and had such a … Continue reading →
