Happy Friday Everyone! it's a cold and windy day here today. Brrrr temperatures dropped and my heat is back on. Cha Ching....I can hear my bill going up again The morning started out with the dog groomer coming for doogie spa day. I didn't tell Mush in advance so she was quite surprised when the door opened and the groomer came in. Lately Mush has been having a hard time with the grooming since she's 16 now and her back legs give out easily. Standing and walking is becoming harder for her. I have to say that the groomer is very patient and loving so I know Mush is in good hands with her. It does take a little longer to get her done but now she's all clean and smells good. It's also trash day, We didn't put any trash out last week so we have double in the pails this week. Thankfully they are pretty heavy so they won't blow over or down the street with the wind. I have to keep an eye open for when they come so I can run out there and bring them in. Certainly don't want to have to chase them down the block I'm feeling like this day is flying by and I haven't even thought about what we're having for dinner. Guess it will be something easy since it's probably too late to take anything out of the freezer to defrost. I'm going to see what's going on here before my daughter takes her lunch break. It's kind of weird chatting without coffee

It rarely gets windy enough here for the bins to blow over but occasionally they might. I only put the recycling bin out when it's nearly full. Some weeks it has very little in it.

I’m glad Mush has such good care with that groomer. Our one dog is in heat. She’s inside as she’s been recovering from Lyme disease. Usually she’s an outside hunting dog old my husbands. This is her first time wearing a diaper and she is walking so oddly with it on .

Ah, poor Mush having to be bothered like that. I bet she feels good now though. Have you noticed your trash coming later? I recall when it came at about 5a. Now it comes at 10:30a.

That Mush is so very well loved. We had big heavy wet snow this morning and now that that has stopped, we're under a high wind warning. Such wild weather.

Poor Mush. I feel so sorry for her. I'm glad she is all groomed and smells good. This wind better stop soon. I don't want to go to Oz.

Mush is a cutie. I love her even though I’ve never met her. Not much is going on today. I wish I had something ready to eat! I’m just too lazy today. I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Chatting without coffee should be against the law! Mush is about the same age as Jax. He isn't doing too well either.

So sorry Mush is getting up there in age, I know that's so hard to see in our sweet fur babies. The day is going by super fast here as well for some reason! Have a super blessed day!

Glad you have a good groomer for her. Hope you didn't have to chase the trash cans. I had to move some things when we got home this afternoon

Poor Mush. She must be happy to be clean and smelling good now that’s overwith. I can just picture you chasing them down the block. Would you believe it’s 1:06 and I just sat down with my morning cup of coffee? Please don’t ask why.

I can imagine how fragrant Mush smells after grooming. I didn’t know that yesterday was the 13th. Nothing dangerous happened to me.
