I got up early as I had an appointment in town to drop the dogs off at the Groomers. The drive in was uneventful with Mikey sitting on my lap and Summer in the other seat. Mikey knew something was up because they haven’t been on any car rides since we got Summer three weeks ago. As usual, Mikey went nuts crying and barking when I handed him over but quite obviously, the groomer was well used to that sort of behaviour from dogs as she just handled it and put him in the cage along with Summer. I got out of there as fast as I could trying very hard not to hear Mikey’s plaintive cries as I walked out and feeling like a jerk for leaving him.
Instead of driving straight home, I drove back into town with the idea that a Latte would hit the spot but when I arrived at Starbucks, the line was so long it almost came back out onto the road. I gave up on the Latte idea and made the drive home. It was strangely quiet when I opened the door with the dogs at the groomers and I missed them already.
I made a Latte of my own and then settled down to play catch up with the blog as I waited for the call telling me to come and pick up my buddies. Two hours later, I got that call and made my way back into town to pick them up. Even Summer was pleased to see me. She especially looked very sharp and I could actually see her little face. Definitely money well spent.
We made the drive home and went out for a short walk so they could stretch their little legs after being cooped up all of that time. When we got back, both of them were tired after all of the excitement and quickly found their spots and dropped off to sleep.
I spent some time talking to Delores. She no longer was dog sitting Remington having taken him back this morning as Daniel and Malinda had returned from their trip.
I sat working on the blog and brought us up to date and when I glanced at the clock, it said that it was 2:00 pm as the time flew on by. We have no plans for the rest of the day although Delores did say that she would be over with beer, later on. Way to go, Delores.
MY APOLOGIES FOR HOW MUCH OUT OF ORDER THESE PAST FEW DAYS THE BLOG HAS BEEN. I PROMISE TO GET BETTER AND GET THEM IN THE PROPER ORDER ASAP.
