Have A Psychedelic Weekend!

We wish you lots of fun for the weekend.  Be safe!

To Groom Or Not to Groom?

How often and extreme do you have your loved ones groomed? I'm sorry to say that I can't remember where I came upon the above photo. I love it!  All that hair though reminded me that it's only been 10 weeks since I had Lucy and Sable groomed and already they are looking rather woolly.  I get Sable shaved down pretty close and I am wondering if this is a good thing?  She doesn't like the heat and her black coat warms up rather quickly now that the temps are in the upper 80's everyday.  She won't stay outside long in mid day unless she is swimming.  So does the extra hair actually help keep them cool and offer some protection from the heat?  What do you think?

Lucy's Cool Spot

Who needs a Tempurpedic when you can sleep on a bed of Liriope?

Lazy Weekend

I'm afraid the girls, Joe, Dad, and I had a rather uneventful weekend.  We spent much of Sunday watching TV, golf, and waiting for the much predicted heavy rains.  They would love some serious outdoor fun.  However, it's quite the chore taking all three at once even more so if my Dad goes as well. 

And then there's always the ear issues.  I thought all I had to consider was swimmer's ear but it seems all the pollen that spring brings takes issue with a dog's ear according to my vet?  Lucy had a hematoma on her ear last week and I had to take her to the vet. It was swollen like a balloon. I thought she had been stung by a bee. All of them love walking in between the blooming Indian Hawthornes  that have been loaded with blooms and bees as well.  But the vet said that pollen makes them shake their heads excessively and can result in a hemtoma.  Good gosh there's always something.

We hope you atleast had some fun over the weekend.  Have a good week!
