A beautiful evening …

Posted on July 27, 2016 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

It has been mundane evening after a fairly ordinary day, other than the particularly bright spot of visiting with Shelly for a little while. I was lying on the couch feeling like I’m jumping out of my skin … both Gary and I are experiencing the creeping up of old age, especially after days of … Continue reading →

That must be SOME truck …

Posted on March 5, 2016 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Long story short: my sister’s husband didn’t make payments on a truck that he acquired last summer. A bailiff visited in order to repossess the vehicle, and my brother-in-law brought out his loaded gun! At some point, “R” shot out the tires on the truck that was about to be seized. At another point, more … Continue reading →

Down to a dull roar …

It’s great when the Pet Hostel hosts an almost “full house”, but it’s nice when things get a bit calmer again. I started a draft when there were eighteen dogs here: I got as far as making a list of beloved guests, but then got busy with the serious business of taking care of all … Continue reading →

Love my job!

Goodness, I love my career. I wasn’t overworked today by any means, but groomed two of the nicest of dogs, and saw some long-time friends and new friends. This is Carlene (unless the spelling is Carleen … I forgot to clarify). Carlene was so patient and sweet; I told her owner that the dog didn’t … Continue reading →

Procrastination…

I always claim to be busy. Actually, I admit to being very good at relaxing, but more and more, as the years go by, I am less able to accomplish what needs to be done. Many days, I don’t even come close. A smallish thing that had been bothering me was literally a “detail” on … Continue reading →

Hurray for Sunday …

Don’t know why I love Sunday almost as much as Thursday. The way life has been lately, ANY day of the week is awesome. So there you go … call me Pollyanna. My cup runneth over. Even the most mundane days are good ones, most weeks. I had a few dogs to groom and some … Continue reading →

A good week…

Although dog grooming is work I love, I haven’t been sad to have a slower week. Today I groomed this little favourite, a shih tzu cross named Ginger, who is affectionate but very humble. On my Pet Hostel Facebook page, someone remarked that she looks “sad”, but she actually is happy and always has had … Continue reading →

Sweet little doggies…

Oh, my goodness, I have enjoyed my work day. The five small dogs who came for grooming were almost like human children, and they all seem to adore me. Turbo (aka ‘Birdie’) and Ginger are both camera shy. They are here regularly; Ginger seems not to mind the grooming process, and Turbo just tolerates her … Continue reading →

Challenging day…

The work has not been too hard: I started out the day babysitting Seltzer, Maya, and Ceili, Baxter, Cooper, Beastie, Karma and Hunter, Missy, Gus and Willis. Now some of my darlings have gone home and others have arrived. Missy was picked up, and her owner was quite pleased with the results of the grooming … Continue reading →

A little saga unfolds…

Posted on February 28, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Just after politely declining any funds from “Cupcake Day for Animals”, I’m asked to participate in a very small-scale rescue. In the first incarnation of this story, I was asked to take in a chihuahua and two to three cats, in the capacity of “fostering”, without any remuneration at all. Now that I’m as old … Continue reading →
