Bath day

It was bath time for two stinky dogs tonight.  They weren't very happy about it.  Lucy was on board at first, but then she figured out what was going on, and decided it wasn't for her.  Hawkeye is ALWAYS ticked when the water runs in the tub.  I have to pick his fat butt up and carry him into the bathroom.  My back hurts.

They smelled like dogs, though, so we had to do it.  I can't have dogs that smell like dogs, you know?  It takes forever to clean the hair and dirt out of the tub.  Hawkeye has an under coat, which explains the hair in my house.  I love that dog, but DANG!  An indoor dog with an under coat will always shed.  There is no way around it.  I wish brushing would work, or the anti-shed shampoo that we use, or the millions of other things that we've tried.  Frankly, my only friend is my lint roller.

We went to Aldi today.  I have a love/hate relationship with Aldi.  We spent half of what we would have at WalMart, but that place is annoying at best.  We announced to the girls that we weren't buying any cookies, candy, cakes, or any other sugary treat.  That went over like a lead balloon, but we stuck to it.  They are hooked on snacks, and it's our fault.  We are fat people with fat ways.  Time to change things.  We've changed things before, so I think I can manage....let's just hope it sticks longer this time.

After the groceries were put away, Kevin called out, "There's a lady on a horse in our front yard!"  The girls ran out shouting, "Grandma!!!!"  We enjoy it when they stop by and Blue has a few bites from our front yard.  What a good looking animal.

Well, time to go play pogo, or some other nice waste of time on a Saturday night.  I hope you all are well and happy.

Wow, you mean Hawkeye, Lucy, and Sadie all had baths this week?  Isn't that a bad omen?

No, mother, it's a GOOD omen.  Now they don't stink quite so badly, so all the dogs in the family are tolerable.

I got three furry beasts in need of a good shampoo if you're hiring yourself out...  

:-D

I'll throw in extra if you do the cats and let me video tape it.  ROFL

Ever thought about taking them to Petco or a place like that with the big sinks and soap and towels and stuff?  I used to take Bongo there before he became a neighborhood threat.  SIGH
