It has been a quiet Saturday too. We only had one boarder overnight, the darling Carly. Trigger and Tango went home last night. Trigger is a young and handsome shepherd cross. Tango is a 10 year old chocolate lab, quite sedate and good natured. After my grueling day on Wednesday with Panda the Newfoundland dog. … Continue reading
Couldn’t think of anything pithy to call this week or entitle this post. It has been a satisfactory few days since I spoke to you. Have been just doing what I love, and gettin’ by just fine. Here are a few of the beautiful beings I cared for, talked to, or groomed this week. This … Continue reading
… and the weather smartened up too! I groomed this gorgeous collie in the morning. Pluto has been coming for spa days more often … every 3 months or so, instead of once per year. Today, I didn’t have to shave any part of the coat, and though I removed a tremendous amount of undercoat, … Continue reading
This day was a very good one, but then, most of my days are excellent! I didn’t take a “before” picture of this handsome dude. He came in a matted, stinky mess, though not the worst I’ve seen. I performed what groomers call “wet shaving”, and it saved more of his pretty bisque-coloured fur than … Continue reading
It is indeed a gorgeous day, clear and warm. I’m indoors just for a little break: Gary got home from his work and I had a couple of messages to pass on. I will talk to you, my friends, and then go accomplish some great thing outside. Or some little things. I’m trying to stay … Continue reading
Today would have been Mom’s 91st birthday. I know it doesn’t really make sense to do this math, because she died at the age of 46. To think of what age she would be now just gives me a greater sense of loss and longing. Earlier this week, while Gary was away skiing, I prepared … Continue reading
Yesterday, I was going to start, “Happy Thursday”. For as long as I can remember, Thursday has been my favourite day of the week. I’ve never known why; perhaps I was born on that day and remember how loved I was. Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace, Wednesday’s child … Continue reading
It’s very good to be busy. I’m not busy like other grooming shop/boarding kennel owners are busy, but my days seem full. Like almost everyone I know, I’m not getting any younger. The others are … well, you know. Today I groomed these two little cuties, Angle and Molly: Before Angel and Lily came for … Continue reading
Now, I do know that’s relative. Yesterday turned out to be plenty productive in that I got caught up with some bookwork. After about 12 hours almost non-stop at the computer spreadsheets, I not only gained some ground, but felt better about my “inertia and sloth”. It was a good day, after all. Today was … Continue reading
I received word last night that my friend’s dog had been fatally hit by a vehicle. Like anyone, I’ve received bad news about pets, friends and family members, but this little girlie was all of those things to her owner, and also to me. I couldn’t believe it; “Lady” was on my mind until I … Continue reading
