Had a pretty good day here, and hope you did too. My first thoughts were for Adele, who was undergoing open heart surgery. I got all enthused about sending something to the hospital, but then realized I should check whether a person can even do that at this time. This little old gal came for … Continue reading

Gus, Luna, Zero, Lily, Cinnabar …
Gus is a big sweetie. His owner didn’t know until she saw this photo that her puppy would be okay with a cat. As you can see, Smokey and Gus are “good together” for sure. Yesterday, I clipped the nails on this pug, Luna. Her loving owner says the name is short for “Lunatic”. Sure … Continue reading
Start today and work back …
I feel guilty when I don’t talk to you often enough. At the same time as I’m curious about your days and how you’re doing, I realize that some of you check for my blog updates. Feeling that I “disappoint” anyone is uncomfortable. I’m sitting in the recliner just chatting (typing) in comfort, with coffee, … Continue reading
Labour day weekend drawing to a close …
It is still pretty busy at the Pet Hostel, but some dogs have gone home. At one point, we were up to 24 dogs and 3 cats .. not sure now what the head count is. I bathed sweet S’More and her little sidekick, Rayna, before they were picked up today: We have a new … Continue reading
Whew, Friday night …
We don’t have big plans, and that’s just fine. I finished grooming at about 3 o’clock and felt too tired to go to town to bank, get mail, and shop. On the other hand, dinner is in the oven and smelling SO good! Tomorrow there are “Pioneer Days” events in our little town, and starting … Continue reading
Feet up, for a moment …
It’s busy here, but I always have time to make meals, eat, and rest a bit. I’m watching a veterinary series on the TV, and sometimes I watch American politics, true crime or hoarding or 600 pound life reality series. Occasionally I will find a movie or documentary. I feel as if I’m coming down … Continue reading
Hair straight back …
Holy cow, the Pet Hostel got busy. I hadn’t really stopped to count the “incoming” crowd; it seemed like plenty, but I’ve always managed. And managing is what I’m doing… this is all good. We had several cancellations, for different reasons, and oh, goodness, this was a mercy. I tried not to sound too glib … Continue reading
Happy Sunday, Sunshine …
It’s a most gloomy, wet day! I mean, of course, the weather … everything else is sunny and gay. I mean, bright and happy. We just got back from Sunday breakfast, and it is past noon. None of us at our brunch club had anything too pressing to accomplish today, though there is only so … Continue reading
Sunny Tuesday…
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
TGIF!
I don’t even know why I love the weekends. If I had a “real” job, I would know why I celebrate Fridays and the weekends. If I even have a slacker day, it’s because I resolutely scheduled it that way, or booked time with myself to attend a yard sale, go for coffee, or whatever. … Continue reading
