Home Again, Home Again Jig-da-de-gin!

Just thought I would let everyone know that "The Day At The Spa" went wonderfully well yesterday. Tina and I were successful in getting them to their appointment on time and with all of us in one piece. They were very excited, but Bella was a little nervous. She has never been to the groomers and did not know what to expect. I was told that she was "so cute". She pitched a fit when they came to take the other two dogs for their bath. She did not want to be separated. She finally decided that all was well, and calmed down. They were all so cute when they came out. Each one had a bandanna around their neck, but Bella was also wearing a little bow in her hair. They were really happy to be going home. It was a full day for them and when they got home they lay ed down on the floor and slept like there was no tomorrow. Bella still looks like a rag-a-muffin, but short of shaving her to the skin, she is going to. She got all the worse hair traits of her breed. That doesn't make me love her any less though. LOL

A Day At The Spa

Ok boys, and girls it is time again for a great adventure. The appointment has been make, and I cannot wait. It will be a wonderfull day. Tina and I are headed to New Bern for the 9:00 appointment. I can hardly contain my excitement. It will be a day of shampooing, massaging, manicures and pedicures. Doesn't that sound wonderful? TO bad it won't be Tina, and myself getting it done. No boys, and girls, this appointment for all the pampering is for Login, Susi, and Bella (the dogs). The adventure part is me and Tina trying to wrangle three dogs in a Ford Escort for the 9 mile trip. The bigger dogs should not be a problem, but Bella is going to want to drive again. She evidently does not trust my driving because she always try to take the wheel when we travel. She swears her eyes are better than mine, but even though that is true her legs will not reach the pedals. I have tried to explain this to her on several occasions, to no avail.
Tina is going along as my co-pilot this morning. She will also help me wrangle the bigger dogs into the shop. I can barely handle Bella on a leash....So, off we go on another "Janet and Tina" adventure. Roaddogs unite!
PRAY FOR US!!
WE'RE GOING TO NEED EVERY ONE WE CAN GET !

Trashy Tuesday

Well here we are again on trash day. It's the same day every week, four times a month, 12 months a year. I hate it just as much today as I did last week. I don't hate the day itself, just taking out the trash. I don't hate getting trash out of the house either, I just hate trash. We collect trash from various parts of the house and deposit it into a large can and roll it to the street. What could be more simple you ask? Just the fact that I always miss something I wanted to throw away every week. After the trash men are gone, I always find something I wanted to throw away.
It's the same way when I am doing dishes. I can search the house over for all the cups, glasses, and other things I leave sitting here and there. I pop everything in the dishwasher and start her up. Not 5 minutes into the cycle I find somethig that should have been put in. I am really bad at losing my latest cup of coffee, or drink, I search in vain, but never remember where I left it, Sooo, I finally give up and just make me another drink.
I am sitting here, waiting for the notion to hit me and I will collect all the trash and take it to the curb. But I promise you, as soon as the trash men pull away, I will find something that should have gone
