I do love my work. I’ve had a couple of fairly busy days. I don’t know how men or women who have busier grooming shops can stay on their feet and groom six or eight or ten pets per day, week in and week out. But that’s them and this is me, and I’m not … Continue reading
Crazy how fast the days and weeks fly by. It snowed again today. I refuse to post more pictures of April SNOW showers. I want to be digging and planting soon, and our main garden is still under snow, and most of the perennial beds are still partially frozen. It would be pretty icy to … Continue reading
I’m a couple of days delayed posting a post … These two lovely pets belong to two different families, but I believe that they are siblings. Because the Pet Hostel operates in a region of relatively sparse population, to have related animals boarding, or here for grooming, is not that rare. Both Missy and Baxter … Continue reading
Today is, according to Facebook at least, World Dog Day. Every day is dog day in my life, and I am so lucky. Even so, I just said to Shelly that it must be the combination of getting up extra early, and the chopping of many onions: I’ve felt tearful most of the day. Two … Continue reading
Little Lily looks a bit offended at Smokey’s pushiness. Lily Ryder Chloe … a really, really big girl. Maple Buddy Taffy, our beloved guinea pig. Today was a day of steady work, both grooming and taking care of boarding pets. I did stop for lunch (yummy spaghetti squash with marinara sauce), but was otherwise on … Continue reading
How lame can I entitle a post? Sorry about that. It has been an eventful week … mostly good except that a neighbour died on Sunday. That is sad for a very large family; I was not too close to the grand matriarch who has “gone on ahead” of the rest of us (I made … Continue reading
I can’t believe how much progress has already taken place on the little house. I’ve stopped a few times because I had to share what was on my mind, but for the most part, Ray and crew do not need me to be visiting at all! I can’t help visiting anyway. I had quite a … Continue reading
What a glorious day it has been. No day is like another in my business, and everything seems perfect when the sun shines and all goes smoothly. I just had one little dog to groom today, a pleasant little “regular”. Picture here is “Buddy”, with Smokey beside him; I always think she is purposefully cuddling … Continue reading
I tried to come up with a less lame title, but gave you that. I took the Christmas tree down yesterday; there was a time that I saved that work for January 1st or 2nd. We have a small house and it seems like the tree, however charming, is in the way. I appreciated Gary obtaining … Continue reading
When the press was here for my anniversary party two weeks ago, I stated that we have the capacity to board up to about 25 pets. After that, I blathered on about how there are factors such as how many animals come from each family, and if they can be kenneled together. I also stated, … Continue reading
