Slow start Sunday …

Posted on April 28, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

Somehow I’ve come down with a cold. It’s not too brutal and I’m trying to hex it away with rest and plenty of fluids. Last night I went to bed with Benedryl, ibuprofen, and a little shot of fireball whiskey 🥃. I was up in the night to talk to a dog about barking; the … Continue reading →

April 27th and snowing …

Posted on April 27, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

Glad that I did a bunch of work outside yesterday, as it is uninspiring out there today! In the grand scheme, it isn’t much of a snow storm, but many of us are getting the itch to plant, and weather’s not cooperating. This is not actually rare for our part of the world in April, … Continue reading →

… with joy. Pardon the biblical reference when you know I’m heathen. Our California contingent arrived last night, and they have held up very well considering all their miles, and long drives since landing in Calgary last Thursday. Because of a closure on the Banff-Jasper Parkway, Susan, Laine and Baby Linden had to choose a … Continue reading →

This family of sweet doggies came for their collective spa day today. Each one is as compliant and humble as the last, and it is truly a pleasure to groom them. So it was a pretty full day. Yesterday was a little easier, and I had Gus only. He gets sheared short a couple of … Continue reading →

Happy Sunday again …

Posted on April 14, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

The weeks fly by! We were both up early this morning, and we usually don’t dine out for Sunday breakfast anymore, so we’re finished that too. Just scrambled eggs and toast for a simple starter today; actually I’m on a self-imposed “toast free” diet (joking, sort of). After weeks of eating light, I overindulged last … Continue reading →

Run, run, run …

Posted on April 13, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

It seems like today has been one “on the move”. I’m not complaining, and I do not actually run unless a tiger is chasing me, but it has seemed busy. In reality, it has been a day that started early and had several errands and “stops” to make. I feel so fortunate to have a … Continue reading →

Jus’ sittin’

At the moment, I’m waiting for my first groom customer, and they are not late. I was telling Gary this morning that it’s almost as if I’m on “light duty”, because I haven’t had a great deal of grooming to do lately. I like to think that people are waiting for the warmer days of … Continue reading →

on guilt. This is not a cry for reassurance nor a yelp for attention. I’m sitting here this morning thinking, just thinking. I talked to you before about turning 64 when “yesterday” I was 30. Most days, I still feel thirty years old. While reflecting on “groomer humour” as found in Facebook, and in a … Continue reading →

I’ve accomplished the bare minimum today, but the day’s still young. At the Pet Hostel, we have Baxter & Moose, Pepper & Sunny, Buster Brown and Zeus. Several doggy guests went home yesterday. After these few pets were looked after, and the star boarders (the resident population), I watched a movie and set up supper … Continue reading →

Bee Brilliant …

Posted on April 4, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

I was addicted to an online game, in a way, and despite how the name sounds, it is mindless. Oh, there are small strategies to master, but little reward other than advancing to the next level. No “brilliance” required, not as in the brain games, puzzles and conundrums that are widely available. One can pay … Continue reading →
