Mighty Comfortable

Here is the gallery

Lachlan looks mighty comfortable as he is. I had 2 dogs that was seriously matted that got groomed today. I have a slew tomorrow so my plan was to cut down and bath some tomorrow and finish them but I only got to 2 and I am too tired and it is too late as I have videos to upload before I go to bed.

I listened to Nathan tell me how hard he is working and well okay but let's trade - can we? 

I set up the puppy pen, laundry out my ears, vacuumed, cleaned, did floors and that is the partial list. Now to be rude - and I do not like to be - if your dog is heavily matted, you should seriously tip me. That's just being nice and my tips go to things I wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. Not a requirement but my matted people usually give me nothing. Some tip me and well it is deeply appreciated. On one dog I worked for 3.5 hours dematting and the other 4 hours. There goes my day. Groomers work hard. Nathan's hard is different. LOL Sorry just have to vent.

The dogs did have fun and yes, Nathan played with them. Dennis took some photos but not enough. He has a pass as he was working on the dryer with me - yes did that too.

My return printer is still waiting for an RMA but it is the weekend in China. They said they have to go over the printer before I am refunded. Do you trust that> They requested photos og each step that I sent. I like a microsd card in it by accident which was significant in cost but not opening the box again and they have to inspect that my photos are real? WE SHALL SEE HOW IT GOES.

In 45 minutes after uploading videos, cleaning the xpen, I have dishes to do. Then I am crawling into bed and snuggling with dogs - hah!

Hope you have a great bedtime experience too - you and the dogs.
