The starved dogs spent a quiet night Friday and greeted me with joy in the morning Saturday. Poor things … I wish I could feed them all they’d eat, but that could kill them. On and off Saturday, I spent time on the phone or in text with shelters, or just leaving messages. I tried … Continue reading
Yesterday was a sort of lacklustre day. I guess I was decompressing, but not depressed. I sat more than usual, and puttered and stayed home. Then it got hectic again. In the late afternoon, the boyfriend of a young friend of ours found two starving dogs. The animals were halfway between Prince George and McBride, … Continue reading
Today is Kim’s birthday! We talked on the phone Wednesday night: that was great. Thursday got quite busy. While waiting for several doggy guests to check in, and while trying to finish a large dog’s grooming (and get to the next dog’s groom) I got a phonecall from someone saying they wanted me to take … Continue reading
Seriously significant day! Today is Shelly’s birthday, the birth date of my oldest daughter. She is the second oldest in our blended family of four daughters. For security reasons, I won’t be posting her age online. Shelly is out of town for a few days. We are celebrating Sharon Stearn’s birthday tonight, with (what I … Continue reading
When I opened WordPress/JetPack this morning, I thought, “Oh no! where did Wednesday’s post go?” Oh, yeah. Not only did I not start a post, but I didn’t realize that today is Wednesday. Yesterday felt fulfilling. I let a customer return, one who had “wandered off” or at least alternated between groomers. Hey, it’s a … Continue reading
Monday was so quiet except for one incorrigible barker. 🤷♀️ After lunch I sat, and wondered if I had just forgotten to do something or I really could relax. It’s not that I work that hard, but in this business one is “always on”. That’s what I call it. Most of the time, I’m on … Continue reading
Last night, a small “thud” woke me. As I came to, I thought, “Oh my god, I haven’t fed the turtle for ten years!”. I could visualize him thumping around the house looking for food. There is no turtle, not that he would be a factor after ten years with nothing to eat. Shelly has … Continue reading
Saturday passed in a blur even though I didn’t schedule any grooming. I could have, but I didn’t. On the other hand, while dogs were checked in and out at all hours, I took a different approach to bookwork/tax preparation. I set up one of my folding tables in the kennel building instead of cloistering … Continue reading
Okay, I’ve had a running start to the day (after losing my iPad game for an hour before 7 am). After three dogs arrived for various stays or just grooming, I went back to the miserable task of vacuuming the car. Mica’s short straight hairs weave their way into upholstery and one almost has to … Continue reading
Hurray for favourite days! Well, any day above ground is a good day. Yesterday was challenging. I had one small dog who is a gem, belonging to lovely people. Then a very large farm dog. I was out in the car on the road fairly early to pick up Yetta from her spay visit. I … Continue reading
