Angus Groomed

Thursday 24 September - After having to shut the door in the morning due to an anorexic next-door neighbor who has a tendency to jog down the trail in front of our property, 'Lil Bit decided he had to poo right away. In front of the closed door. So I was able to obtain a sample of his poo for the Vet.

Harriet's poor little paw bandaged from her surgery. She is still pretty groggy. Limps around like she is experiencing some pain. Only a couple more days and I can remove the bandage per the Vet.

Watered the plants, did laundry, and general cleaning around the house. Then got ready to go into CDA to drop Angus off at the Petco Groomers. Gave the gift of POO to the Vet on the way. Later received a phone call from them that all systems were OK. No trace of worms or other fungus! Got a Starbucks latte on the way, walked 'Lil Bit & Angus around the grassy knoll before taking Angus inside to Petco. Dropped her off and as I was leaving, I noticed she made an attempted escape right over the counter! Bad dog.

Went to pick up some TRESemmé at Rite Aid; then over to the Computer Repair for the laptop. Meandered home. Saw a hawk circling the highway as I drove north to our house; the prairie was on fire again as the Indian Reservation was burning grass. Such a horrible sickeningly sweet smell & the smoke burnt my eyes.

Played with the dogs for a while & paid bills online. Then hubby came home & we drove into town so he could drop off some transmissions to be repaired. Picked up Angus at 6:30p. She seems much happier with her new hairdo! No mohawk as the groomer was lucky to get her shaved at all! Angus has a severe case of A.D.D. Her focus is not what is needed for extreme haircuts! With most of her longish locks gone, we can now see the freckles on her back. Even her tail is naked. . .So cute! The shampoo of the day at Petco was Chai Tea Latte. Hubby said she smells better than the lattes we get in the mornings! Yummy.

Drove to Rathdrum to drop off some more automotive parts. Then home where hubby loaned the "helicopter support truck" to Leo S; grilled burgers & chicken later for dinner.

Friday 25 September 'Lil Bit seems to have recovered completely from his tummy bug. He is rambunctious and wild. Running around. Barking. Happy. Energetic.

After leaving the water running in the fish pond most of the night (I forgot I had left it on) the water is absolutely, stunningly clear!
