I didn’t groom a dog today, but I did do a run-by shaving of Sam, the cat. His coat has become matted in sections, despite my efforts to brush and comb some part of him daily. He’s a friendly, patient pet, but he has his limits. He’s more amenable to feeling the clippers than me … Continue reading
Omg, the week has flown by! I was thinking as I worked yesterday, and not thinking it for the first time, that I’m living “the dream”. Living my dream, anyway. Off the top of my head I mean: home in the country, yard with pets and gardens (flowers and food), work that I enjoy, finances … Continue reading
It’s 7 am. and I’ve been wide awake since five. Mica went to see Dr. Tom for her spay, leaving us with not a single dog on the acreage. I believe it’s the first time that has happened in many years. We have briefly (up to a few months) been without a dog of our … Continue reading
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
Today, I felt that I could hardly wait to get back to the weeding, but it was cold and damp this morning. Last night, I had a great talk in text with a gal who owns, or is owned by, Mica’s sister. The dog Frieda is active and clever too, as one might expect, but … Continue reading
Yesterday, I had a moderate workout. Not in the sense that I went to a gym … who would? That’s dangerous in these times. I got the chicken house cleaned! It’s not quite like new … that might take pressure washing the walls, and paint, and … heaven forbid, window washing. Our chickens have nice … Continue reading
Hope your year ahead is pleasant and healthy and prosperous. If you are reading this blog, we must have some level of friendship, mutual respect and/or love. Sending bigs hugs out, especially to those who need improved quality of life in 2019 and beyond. We were awakened by folks in distress at our door, at … Continue reading
This afternoon, I finished breaking up and separating (“cleaning”) sixty pounds of garlic. This is so that the garlic king can plant the cloves this fall. This weekend, actually. I have often busied myself with other things, or provided just a token amount of aid when it comes time to do this job; there are … Continue reading
We have had several wet, dark (mostly) days in a row. Our pet residents are dry and warm, and composed. I feel a bit “under the weather” in a sense. This much rainfall is not needed. Yesterday was Canada Day, and there was not as much precipitation. I went downtown for a burger, cake and … Continue reading
What a relief that the atmosphere now has the smell of Spring. Yes, we’ll have rain and mud to complain about, but it feels like the long winter is coming to an end. Gary and I are convalescing, but we seem to have “beaten” the flu and bronchitis into submission. It takes awhile to get … Continue reading
