“Back In The Saddle Again” 🎶🎵🎶 …

Posted on April 28, 2020 by Ann Schwartz • 3 Comments

Today I groomed these two little cuties while they boarded for the day. Their owners were so bashful about the pups being “overdue”, but they were not that bad at all. This is considering that Hannie and Ryza were just due for a spring haircut and shampoo when I closed the shop for six weeks. … Continue reading →

I’ve said it before that I don’t know how Friday or the weekend sneaks up on me. It doesn’t matter anyway. I’m starting to get antsy about my grooming waiting list. People have been understanding and polite while that facet of my business is closed, but I do worry about the pets’ comfort. As if … Continue reading →

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 →

With this isolation business, I am even less aware of the days of the week. We are self employed, so this often goes with the territory; it also matters very little. I just realized that tomorrow is Sunday, and the grocery store has posted new, shorter hours, and that they will be closed Sundays for … Continue reading →

Missed a day, oh dear …

I think about you often, my readers, but the truth is that I haven’t had much to say. I know this blog is not noteworthy for pithiness or profundity … that’s a disclaimer I’ve made often, and I’m not putting myself down. Life is not very different in this self-isolation condition than “normal” for us. … Continue reading →

Our puppy has had a busy day. She has been full throttle all her waking hours, and the only break that I got was when I put her in a kennel (always with a treat and toy), and when we went for a short car ride, during which she was angelic. She has gone through … Continue reading →

It was a pretty intense grooming day here. Louie is a purebred Golden Retriever, only 8 months old but very sturdy and large. Even as a youngster, he is quiet, curious and respectful. It didn’t take much time to bath and brush the puppy and trim his nails. The older dog from the same family … Continue reading →

Yesterday we learned that a friend (of our age group) had succumbed to cancer. Jim gave a valiant effort to surviving, and he will be missed. His son and stepsons went to elementary school with my (Pat’s and my) daughters at Dunster, and high school in McBride. During the day, Shelly became aware that her … Continue reading →

This has been a relaxing day, for the most part. Have cared for Smudge, Loki, Baxter and Casey, and the resident gang (Cinder, Smokey, Sam, Taffy the guinea pig, and the chickens). It just occurred to me that Gary made his own breakfast, coffee for the two of us, and warmed leftover pizza for lunch … Continue reading →

I have left it too late to do justice to a blog post, but wanted you to know I was thinking about you. Has been a relatively quiet day, with a few boarders to care for and quite a few apples to deal with. I had thought there was a little break in food production, … Continue reading →
