thoughts on the holiday

 
Apparently big heads run in the family.  I’m pretty sure both his mommy and his daddy have trouble buying hats.
We drove 1475 miles (give or take a couple) over four days.  One of those days involved no driving whatsoever, so the rest were split up among three days. 
Actually, I didn’t drive at all.  Car sickness [...]

what to do about pomeranians

A while back, here and here,  I posted pictures of a pomeranian I had to shave as per owner request as well as due to excessive matting.  Some of my readers were all, “How cute!” and “I want one!” and I was all “NOOOO” because you really shouldn’t do that.  Plus they get prickly when [...]

“fat sunday”

I’ve nicknamed the last Sunday before Christmas “Fat Sunday” because it is our second day of baking and boy, do I feel fat!

my first video

I thought I’d share my very first attempt at taking a video with my new camera!  I now realize that I should have put more thought into it and cleaned up the room a bit and stuff, but I didn’t, so please kindly pretend you don’t see the mess!  Also, sorry the lighting is so [...]

you will be missed

Candi Cane (1/18/94 – 11/20/08)
She was the third dog I groomed after starting work at the place I’m at now.  I have since groomed her ten more times in the past ten months or so, and grown quite attached to her. 
This cute, stocky little shih tzu was always my favorite dog to groom, and I’m not just saying [...]
