Dog Days of Summer


Black Sabbath is 4 years old and a member of my family. He has yet to grace a post in the blog. A week ago after big N's departure I decided it was high time Black Sabbath had a grooming experience. ( N just squirts him off with the hose and calls it good) I wanted to get Sab's eyes, ears and teeth as shiny as I could. Many of you may agree taking a pet anywhere they are not used to is no easy feat. Sabbath had never been to the groomer and he was at that stage where he was wondering if he could trust us to come back- so he became restless as you would expect. This was fun for all the kids but I must thank Cobs for maneuvering the leash and my niece Cannon for barricading the door. You can also see my mothers legs out side the window ready in case the dog escaped. Cassidy was at my side at the check in- so all in all it took 5 people to get the job done. Rub a dub dogie in East Bay Provo, did a great job! I think Black Sabbath looks great- I am sure he is wondering where in the hell dog loving Big N is. I think we all are- something about a cancelled flight in Seattle. Tomorrow sure is Monday

My husband and I just bought a dog from the pound about a month ago. She will actually sit through a bath as I hose her down. She sure doesn't like it but she takes it like a champ. It is just sad to see your own dog give you those eyes that seem to say..."I really don't like you right now!"
By the way, I saw on the side of your blog that you are reading East of Eden right now. I love that book.

Oh the joys of the groomer. I have gone as far to ask the vet if they have doggie valium and they do, though I have yet to purchase any. Jazz gets the freak of the week award on groomer day, but its worth it when they are all clean Ü
