It was another gorgeous day here. I had plenty of work this morning, two miniature Australian Shepherds. As the owner is willing to drive an hour each way to let me groom these sweet boys, I try to get both done in three hours. It’s intense. Since the dogs were groomed, and I ate lunch, … Continue reading →

I might or might not have had a glass of this nice dry white wine. It is labelled, “Yard Dog”, and I really should find my glasses and read the fine print. I’m not sure of the significance of the name. Why would a fat chihuahua in an Elizabethan collar want to be immortalized on … Continue reading →

Oops, I accidentally clicked “Publish” on the desktop before I deemed this post finished! I’m sorry, Rachel! 🤗💕 *************** Today was … brilliant. I was looking forward to grooming Binou and Fanny, and they were rock stars for every part of the process. I love their owners too … a couple I truly miss when … Continue reading →

Okay, I did overstate that a bit. Have not quite stayed isolated, but I tend to be a “rule follower” when the health of the entire world is at stake. We all need to do our parts. Today was about keeping socially distant while away from home, twice. The dog and I went for a … Continue reading →

Toby, Aussie, etc. …

Posted on March 31, 2020 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

Here’s an awkward pose by the young Catahoula Leopard Hound, Toby, who is staying with us for a couple of weeks. I’m quite well acquainted with Catahoulas, as we had them at the farm at Dunster. It is one of my regrets that I didn’t practice better animal husbandry or business sense. Over time, I … Continue reading →

Am back in the recliner chair after happily providing service to Pepper, Storm, Nellie & Sadie, Baxter, Dexter & Jazzmin, Mr. Lewis, Sunny, Smudge, Taffi, Shadow and Buster.  Of course, our family pets get “served” as well, Lady and McKenna, cats Smokey and Sam, and Taffy the guinea pig.  Oh, and the chickens: today they … Continue reading →

Who are you and why are you here?

(The title and beginning of post is now a couple of days old, from Dec. 23, but I’m leaving some of my writing as is, rather than start anew.) No, I’m not being profound or metaphorical. An hour ago, while I was bustling around preparing our “Christmas dinner”, which is tonight (and perhaps not our … Continue reading →

Today wasn’t any busier than most days lately, and what a nice canine crowd is here: Shadow the Shepherd, Billee, Mr. Lewis, Sadie & Nellie, and Tank. Actually, Sadie and and Nellie went home this evening. They will be back for Christmas. Shadow has settled down a lot, not acting so agitated. She has been … Continue reading →

Sunday brunch was great, as usual. We cover so many subjects and share stories and it’s never boring. While we were out this morning, I consented to boarding a grown German Shepherd but when the friends who were trying to help the owner said they were on their way over with the dog, I sent … Continue reading →

Holly’s handoff …

Posted on November 16, 2016 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

Today we took Holly the Hound into Prince George, to the North Cariboo SPCA. It was less worrisome than I had feared. She was a good girl, settling down in the back seat of the truck and making no noise. She occasionally sat up and looked around and once gave Gary a gentle kiss. I … Continue reading →
