Not sure why I rejoice over Fridays or weekends. Other than Sunday brunch with friends, each day is about the same. Different, but not less fun or more so because of which day of the week it happens to be. I have plenty of work when there are several pets boarding, and tomorrow I have … Continue reading
My darling sister, my only sibling, is not likely to read this blog, so I’ll share with you the completed quilt I made for her. I will send it next week: late for Christmas but early for Rae’s birthday in March. It is another incarnation of the “jelly roll” quilt, and the ones I am … Continue reading
Strange thing: I did less today than I usually do in a day, and was more exhausted. I’m not being too hard on myself, preferring to call it a “restful” day rather than a lazy day. In mid-afternoon, I could hardly keep my eyes open, so I didn’t. Squeaker went home this evening, and during … Continue reading
Hope you all have a good weekend. Friday’s almost over, I realize. It has been a very pleasant day. Slept until 7, took care of dogs, and then made and had breakfast and coffee with my Shelly. We have boarders Sheena & Kylie, Axel, Carly, Baxter, Sandy, Rosie and Festus tonight. Chester just went home. … Continue reading
Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu cross dogs are the mainstays of my grooming business. It used to be that poodles and cockapoos were my most frequent clients. It’s funny how breed popularity changes over time. I love most individual dogs, regardless of breed, so I don’t care how the trends go. Monday was just for … Continue reading
As I groomed dear Benji today, I thought about what a gift my career is to me. If what I offer to my small part of the world is appreciated, then I am even more fortunate. Tomorrow I will meet a new doggy friend, Gizmo. I can hardly wait to meet him. Considering that his … Continue reading
I’m so glad for Sunday breakfast! It seems like a rest, an oasis in the week. It’s not that I’ve been busy. You know, from me talking to you, that I have had a bit of a slow period, but this is changing. I wish I had a bigger boarding building; I look at my … Continue reading
One of our friends hasn’t much sympathy for those who complain about cold or snow. We too, have said to ourselves and others, “If you don’t like extremes of winter weather, you’re living in the wrong place.” Last week’s heavy snowfall hit most of us by surprise. I thought I had things pretty much put … Continue reading
It’s only 1 am, so I’m hardly in sleep-deprivation trouble yet. I’ve been to bed once, but can’t quiet my mind, so here I am visiting with you! Am feeling better again, more like “myself”. While I was so worried about income tax, and having discovered that there is an HST/GST component to the tight … Continue reading
Click on the thumbnails to see a bigger photo. Don’t even try to make sense of my title. Some days I have work, chores, or drop-offs and pickups scheduled so closely that I forget to eat breakfast OR a lunch, but rarely do I miss both. Sometimes schedules go out the window too. I’ve worked … Continue reading
