Spa Days...

Its still been work, work, work around here... I am soooo looking forward to this weekend and being able to call an end to this recent order.

In between 'shifts' Ive been giving the dogs spa treatments brushing them out, fawning over them... doing just about everything short of painting their nails!

Mercury had his first brushing of the season a few days ago... I gave him a pig ear to munch on while I worked the wool out of his back legs.

Would that be like sipping coffee or tea while someone does your nails? I wouldnt know... I dont pamper myself that often. I prefer to give than receive... : )

Its a joy to see Merk be so 'giving'. That first brushing left me with a plastic grocery bag full of fluffy wool and that is just the tip of the iceberg. He has so much more to drop yet...

Hera is starting to drop hers as well and Gemini started a while ago. But, since these two dont like to be inside I have to pin them down at night between their nightly frolicing and try to get them to sit still long enough to brush some hair out.

Summer is coming along nicely and there are only a few squishy spots left in the yard to dry up. Everything is looking really nice out there. And the birds... ah the birds... singing their songs at midnight to the last rays of the dying sun... I love that... I don't like being woke up so early in the morning by them (since we only have a few hours of dark now) but its well worth it...
