This time of year, the sunrises tend to be more noticeable than sunsets, but last Thursday was an exception.

Helen Says “Yes We Did”
Yes. We did. « Margaret and Helen
Today as millions stood on the Mall and millions more sat in front of televisions and computer screens, we watched as Hope and Faith placed its hand on the bible and said:
“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Of course, about that time, I was distracted by a rat terrier and a miniature schnauzer puppy playing tug of war with a braided rope which was just Too. Cute. For. Words.

Emergency Exit

But a man named Josh who was sitting in the exit row did exactly what everyone is supposed to but few ever do: He pulled out the safety card and read the instructions on how to open the exit door.
Since I request the exit aisle when traveling for the extra leg room, I always read the instructions when I am fortunate enough to get it.

Lody really needed a bath, but I didn’t want to subject her to the stress of hauling her to either a groomer or a DIY setup. And I really don’t have a place to give a Collie a bath here. I had been intrigued by the idea of a mobile dog groomer, so today Kristy came by with her Sudsy Dogmobile. This was a modified horse trailer that had a warm water wash tub, drying apparatus and rubber mats throughout. Kristy spent a lot of time on Lody, and delivered back a sparkling Collie. Probably the last time Lody was this clean was the last time she was shown. Kristy even did a good job on her nails. Best of all, Lody didn’t seem too stressed out by the experience. Although Smooth Collies don’t have as much of a coat as Rough Collies, it is still a job of work to get them clean. I am very pleased.
