Sunny Saturday
The head count at the Pet Hostel has gone up again slightly: today Belle, the dog that looks like a Rhodesian Ridgeback came. Also, we have a very old border collie cross named Dustin, a poodle named Misty, a beautiful Maremma X Golden Retriever named Amber, and a Red Wolf named Makalu. I’ll post pictures another day.
I groomed a little Shih Tzu-Poo today.. oh, my goodness she was wiggly. But I got the job done with patience and some finesse!
Oh my goodness, am I NEVER going to get back to the POTTING?? Oh, I did put together the pipe frame to the greenhouse. When I bought it I believed I was going to put it up and it would stay that way for MANY years. Yeah, right… The wind has picked up the whole damn thing several times, and each time the pipes bend and some of the bolts are lost and the clear tarp-like covering tears. I’m anxious to get it set up so that I can move the potted perennials out
I learned tonight that one of my friends has Hepatitis C. Some people never have a symptom, but she must have been exposed more than 30 years ago. It might explain some symptoms like depression and inability to fight infection, and fatigue. I feel very sad, even though it’s not a “death sentence”. Isn’t life always a journey? She was distraught for a couple of weeks, and “hid out”; I feel guilty because I just thought she was BUSY and didn’t know of her distress. I wish I could have been more help to her.
I’ll try to get back tomorrow. We’re planning to attend a birthday (sixtieth) dinner for a friend, and that will be a HOOT. I’m making chocolate cake for about 20.. it’s made and in the freezer un-iced so far.
Take care, all. Love, Ann
