Refreshed

~  ~ ~

I got my hair fur done yesterday.

Was supposed to be last week but was not.

I got at least three inches cut off.

Got my roots refreshed.

I look in the mirror and if you don't look

at the many running lines,

 I don't look too bad if I do say so myself.

How odd it is that looking ok to oneself

makes things that happen in the day

just a bit better or more manageable.

Like this part of life,

I have taken care of.

I also like how flat my hair fur is today.

If only I could have someone do my hair fur more often.

Wouldn't that be nice ...

Napping On A Friday Afternoon

The wind blew in.

Trees rustling around.

Noisy buggers they are.

Thought I better check on those two wild ones.

Golden furs playing in their yard.

Ok, one is Golden, the other beige and white.

The day is sunny in spots.

Meaning if you stand in it you feel it.

If you don't, you feel something else.

Was supposed to get my furs done.

Not today.

Sad am I.

Needed to have them fixed quite a bit.

That darn sun causes migraines.

Wouldn't that be an interesting mix of furs.

Oh, well next week perhaps.

(My furs specialist not me for a change)

My two have come inside.

Not due to the wind but being tired.

They ran and chewed and rolled around.

Funny how when you have plans for the day

and suddenly that changes that you think

wow now what.

I think the sunny day reminds me of Spring.

Of days that are coming.

Days that I so enjoy.

Only when those days do come,

I hope my furs are done.

My thoughts on this Friday afternoon

after my hair stylist called to cancel

due to a migraine. I'm usually the one

who gets those but not today. And, I

really needed to get my roots and length

done. Have things to do this weekend.

Maybe I'll be wearing a hat and I'm not

a hat lady.

Fur & Feathers On Friday

Three of the birds I enjoyed coffee with this meowning

Bella being cute

Jasmine got her box back

I woke to the sound of rain

I actually like the sound

I leave my window cracked

and listen to the birds sing

and tell the girls the weather report

each meowning as I let them out back

My girls are always so cute

Get so excited to go outside

When they come in they eat

Never seen any two so thrilled about dry food

My world seems a bit better

I've thought about it all

Nothing I can do but relax if I can

What will happen will happen

It's just by this age I thought things

would be Purrfect

Ya know what I mean

So, I will try not to stress

Think calm thoughts

What's the worst that can happen ?

Don't even want to know

So, today I enjoy my coffee

While the birds sing

My girls snooze near by

My world is good

if you don't think about things

too much which would be what

I was doing yesterday

I run a bit nervous

Always have

Now, I need to run with

What's going on today

This moment

So, today will be fine

I've decided that

Tomorrow will be too

How about you ?

Furry Dogs

Just got done being on the back porch with the girl's. Maddy Jean and Bella. My Golden and Labrador Retriever.

I came out with my furminator and a plastic bag ... I was on a mission from dog. Thought I was going to say something else didn't you.

I had looked up grooming in my area. A mobile one came up. They come to your house and they do .. everything ... to your dog .. for you. Only it cost $$$$$ ... how much ?

Since my two hairy one's are going in for their very expensive shots this week ... which have only expired by a few days ... I thought I ought to wait for the bubble bath for dogs van and do a bit of dehairing myself.

First, the furminator is a marvelous device. I got the yellow one. I think it comes in blue too but I got the middle sized one due to price. They saw me coming but I did not ... I say again ... did not buy the most pricey one. Being the good shopper that I am.

I started with the Golden which after a moment ... realized that I was not going to play with her ... at least not the kind of play she had expected. I got one side done ... and by done I mean I went over it once ... at least I think I did cause with a Golden Retriever all you see is puffs of light hair floating around ... like a hairy cloud. I grabbed what I could see and then some. The furminator is so good that I can't keep up with it.

I tried to role her over to get the other side and well, she got up and went down the steps in a blonde cloud. That's when I called her sister. "Bella, come here" Bella has always been a good girl. Comes when she's called or at least when I call her and I'm looking right at her. She tried to do the "who me" look but she put her head down and came to me on the deck. ( She always puts her head down when she doesn't want to do something but she always does it anyway.)

I combed her a long time. She was two colors. Light and dark brown. Now, she is mostly dark brown. I still have more to do on her but at least I got the other side done. She doesn't run away as fast as her sister. Something to be said about having a dog with bad hips.

Maddy Jean, being the goofy pup that she is and maybe due to being blond, came on the deck like she'd forgotten what had happened. I got to get the other side combed for a while. She finally tried to nip me ... not a real one ... just one that said ... "I'm done now".

Which we all were. I got a full bag of hair, the birds got some nesting material, the rest of the hair is biodegradable I'm assuming, and I got some exercise ... the bending and twisting part ... and I can mark that off my 'to do' list.

So, when I take them into the vet this week for their slightly over due shots ... really it's just a day or two ... ok, it might be a week but who doesn't do that ... they won't look like the vet needs to call animal rescue on me.

The nails though ... that's another story ...
