… and done in for the day. I can hardly move. The only “heavy lifting” I really did today was the grooming of Storm, a siberian husky. Really, I did not have to left him very much, thanks to my nifty electric lift table. And Storm was as good a boy as he knew how … Continue reading
Gary and I just got back from choosing a female puppy from a litter that is only 9 days old now. If all goes well, we will welcome this beautiful being to our own home in January. I’m very emotional. As Gary says, “The timing is right, we were both kinda ready now, no?” I … Continue reading
… oh wait. It’s 3 pm. Last weekend, when I was in Calgary, riding around with Kim, we stopped at a hot tub store. When I first described our spa’s “symptom” (reduced chorine level), the salesman declared, “You’ll need to have a technician visit.” To this I replied, “Really? Where we live, we are about … Continue reading
I dreamed last night of several things; I kept waking up, sometimes visiting the washroom, usually hoping to return to sleep believing I would resolve any problem that came to me as I slept. At least once I revisited, in a dream, the fiasco that was to have been darling Aunt Janette’s farewell dinner. No … Continue reading
It would be a bit pathetic (or alarming), at another grooming shop, to do just two dogs in a day… any two dogs. These two tiny mites gave me a real workout today, especially Chloe, the older female. Both dogs were, while being groomed, a cross between a wild rabbit and a Mexican jumping bean. … Continue reading
Every day is different but comfortably consistent. There have been pet owners “waiting” for me to return to grooming, and I’m grateful that they didn’t take their pets elsewhere. Today I gave Willow, Nikko, and Prince baths and haircuts. All three are good little dogs, aside from the fact that while Prince believes he is … Continue reading
This is really a celebratory time, and Aunt Janette would have wanted it so. To renew the acquaintance of cousins and other family members and feel the extra connection and love has meant a great deal to me. Hanging out with Shelly and Kim has been precious, and means that now I have seen all … Continue reading
It has been a fine day, starting with a spectacular sunrise. Photo from our back step. I should have gone to the Remembrance Day services and luncheon in McBride, and I’ll try harder to get there next November 11th. This Monday, I booked worked for myself. Because of the schedule of a certain young family … Continue reading
We knew it was coming, so why does it hurt so much? Aunt Janette died peacefully this morning with her daughter by her side. Cousin Lesley and I talked about how she had her mother for 69 years, and what a blessing that is. Janette was my mom’s oldest sibling, and the two were very … Continue reading
I wanted to share this mini gallery of photos, and I see that it has loaded twice, but I tried to fix it and now need to get other things done. Enjoy anyway! ❤ Continue reading
