Spring Awakening

Hey there! 

Just wanted to post a 'quick' pupdate for those concerned about my dog's well-being (believe me I had a request for photos) and how everything is going.  I'll post again hopefully in a couple days with more pictures.

Bella is doing just fine. Now that it's warming up she's enjoying Sunbeam on the deck and out front. We spent some good time outside today so we both got our share of vitamin D. She's still needy, annoying, and particular. I also just described myself, I think. 

A couple weeks ago I made the executive decision to purchase dog clippers a la Amazon because grooming shops are limited out here but mostly because Bella is non-compliant and a bitch to groom. She is doing so well at home with our groomer there but that has taken a lot of Time, Love, and Tenderness. So it took me about 4 sessions to groom Bella because she hated me and snapped at me and did not like the clippers buzzing about her (NOT noiseless like the ad). It took a lot of treats to get to the current look. 

Now that I have newly-honed grooming skills, I'll be accepting pets/humans by appointment only for cuts. Dogs and/or humans (buzz cuts only) must be extremely compliant, added bonus if they have no teeth.  I'll be calling my services Lindsey's ButtCutts: Pawfessional Grooming Services.  If you are not aware of a what a butt-cut is then you likely didn't grow up in the 90s. Classic middle school look. 

Now that I've given you all those beautiful images (don't you want to go watch 7th Heaven and Now and Then??) I will get going. We are doing great and enjoying the spring that appears to be staying with us now bringing more sunshine! Got new tires 2 weeks ago cuz I put on a lot of miles daily to get to work (drive an hr). Work is great- SUCH a wonderful thing after the Craft sisters in Fresno. 

Peace, love, and #godsplan,
