Unshaggy

Unshaggy

Rion went to the Bad Place (aka the groomer’s) on Friday.  What with one thing and another, this is the longest he had gone without grooming since he was a puppy. (The downside of a dog that doesn’t shed is that they have to be groomed regularly.)  I had forgotten what a trim dog was underneath all the fluff.  He looked like a 1970’s shag carpet.  Oddly enough, although he was shaking when I parked the car at the Bad Place, he followed quite readily into the anteroom.  Then he planted his butt looking dreadfully pathetic until the groomer scooped him up and carried him off.

Pikes Peak Library District – New Hours

In these days of cutbacks to so many library services, I was surprised to see a notice on the Monument Library door announcing they were opening an hour earlier most days, at 9:00 am.  When I mentioned it to the librarian, she said that most of the Pikes Peak Library District libraries were following suit, due to “popular demand.”  We have a fabulous local library system, and it will nice to have another place to get wireless access when I don’t feel like getting breakfast at Starbucks or Panera’s.
