Bear

Above is "Bear", a terrier poodle mix who has been a client for several years. When his mistress brings him to me, Bear's heart is pounding, and he shakes and looks terrified. As soon as I start his "spa" treatment, he is absolutely fine, relaxed and cooperative. When Bear is groomed, his coat resembles a Persian Lamb coat, which I'm familiar with because my mom had one, in the same colour!

What is Lady thinking? That the guinea pig is "lunch", more than the kibble in front of her? When I hold "Squeak" on my lap, Lady looks anxiously at the pig without trying to paw, lick or bite him. I don't know what would happen if the two were without supervision, and I don't want to take the chance of the pig suffering harm.

Yippee, my middle daughter is coming back from Argentina in 10 days. I will go down to Calgary to visit with all three daughters and my stepmom. I think that my travelling daughter was tempted to stay in South America, and I'm sad if she doesn't want to come "home", but it will be wonderful to see her.

I groomed two Shih Tzus yesterday, and a large Golden Retriever today. I have been neglecting to take pictures of EACH client/boarder. Lately I've found it impossible to log on to my website's administration pages to change things THERE. As WELL, I managed to "screw up" several pages on my website, and had to remove the links TO THEM, until I can understand where I went wrong (they are showing up as pages of HTML or CODE, only!).

*Sigh* I might just have to CHAT in the Yahoo Gardening Room today.

Thanks for stopping at my weblog. Please note that I managed to add links to my "ARCHIVES", although I haven't figured out what has become of all the blog pictures I once had!! There's always a new quandary where computers are concerned. ~ Ann
