Wet as a Rag

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are wet as a soaken rag. It is pathetic as when I say they were wet - they were soaken to the skin. I dried and combed out like I was running a marathon. Juni although I combed her out fully yesyerday night was full of mats so we did it again. It best snow powder snow so she can love me again. Yes, I am laughing. I do think she loves me but grooming her fully 2 days in a row, she started looking at me cross-eyed and who can blame her?

It is Dennis day off. He is downtown - 1st time in years and the subway has no electricity so he sits. I offered an uber and he said no - he will wait. It is his day off so I hope he is having a great meal and enjoying.

We are waiting for a part for the 3d printer and hoping we will fix and actually print something. They say the part is delayed so I am getting used to not using it. LOL Right now all it has become is stress and I hate that but I am not giving up. I have something I really want to print but about to give up on that idea.

I was so busy today I exercised 3 times - short bits and fit it in as I could. I brought a few dogs downstairs but once they started watching me, they wanted out - get me upstairs. It was a funny reaction and it was all the dogs I brought down. I wonder what they were thinking. I must look and act weird when I exercise. It is all I can think it is. Besides Stryker hates that VR headset. I think he thinks I am a martian. He barks at me as if I am a stranger with a wierd head.

It has been a day but we are good.

Thank you for taking such good care of Juni and I hope she is being a good girl! She tolerates grooming, but you might notice her giving the side-eye if she thinks it is taking too long lol. She is full of many expressions and it keeps us entertained!
