My dog is off to the groomers tomorrow for a bath and clip as she is a cockapoo. While we were on holiday we only brushed her twice in the 10 days we were there and if you add in the salty seawater, grass, mud and sand it was a recipe for matts. Today it took me 3 hours to remove the numerous matts from her ears with combs and various brushes. If she went to the groomer like this they would shave her ears and I really didn't want this to happen. Dog lovers reading this will understand especially if they have a spaniel cross or a poodle - in fact any long haired dog (or cat for that matter.) Why did it take so long? Because she hates all grooming and tries to run away, and there is the reason we didn't do it on holiday! New resolution time - her ears, at least, will be combed every day from now on.
Oh those ears!
All my time has been taken up with the dog today which meant that I still haven't attacked the mountain of paperwork upstairs, and we have the toddler again tonight as daughter is at work. So tomorrow I shall try and rise to the challenge, and start sorting things before I loose the motivation again lol. I am seriously snowed under with washing still here as I have all the bedding to wash from the holiday plus towels, tea towels and the 8 awning curtains. It was wet when we left so we have the awning draped over the stairs to dry - at least we don't have any posh visitors coming lolol. My daughter's old school friend did pop in after they went out to lunch but otherwise it was a quiet day here today.
Tomorrow I am planning to visit at least one sister as I haven't seen them in a while, so will be out and about for part of the day. I go out every day to walk the dog but I do have problems sometimes as I have COPD which means atm I find it difficult climbing hills or steps and carrying anything that is not lightweight. I have an inhaler for when it gets really bad but mostly as long as I am walking on flat ground I am fine and I don't think you would notice if I didn't tell you, but you might think that I walk a bit slow.
On an end note I'd like to say Hi to people I know are reading this from around the world. I know I have followers in America, Portugal, and the UK and also some people from other European countries occasionally read this blog. Welcome all and please feel free to write a comment if you want - it would be good to hear from you. I hope you find my life interesting and enjoy the read.
Bye for now All the best x
