I absolutely cannot wait until tomorrow when Sammi goes to be groomed. Well. Wait. I guess I can wait, because what other option do I have? Drive down and knock on her bedroom window and ask her to brush my filthy doggie right now? So yes. I can wait and therefore and forced to rephrase my statement. I bet it would be easier to just delete this entire paragraph and start over with : YAY! Tomorrow Sammi is getting groomed! I am so excited!

But you know what? People who insist on being logical rather irritate me, and the last thing I need right now is to be mad at myself, so the above paragraph stays.

I made an appointment for Sam to be groomed on the 16th of April – but then I made an appointment for her to be spayed, and the groomer cannot bathe her for 14 days after the surgery, so the date was changed to April 23rd. Then the groomer canceled on the morning of the 23rd  so she could take her nine year old son to the emergency room. We rescheduled for Tuesday the 28th at 10:30.

I feel slightly bad for the groomer. When Sam got out of the vets office after her spay, they had spilled something on her back legs and left it there to dry so she had mats and tangles. And then tonight we took Sam to football practice with us and she ran around in the trees and underbrush, so  she has leaves and small twigs and even some spiky burrs stuck in her fur! We pulled out what we could, but you have never seen a messier looking dog in your LIFE!

I’m going to request that Sam be shaved, she is going to be hot this summer with her long coat, and with all the outside time she will be getting int he summer, keeping her long coat clean just won’t be feasible!

I will update with a before and after picture of SamSam when I get her back from the groomers tomorrow!

In other news, I attended this little guys baby Shower Sunday afternoon and won the Guess the Flavor of Baby Food contest

(I did not taste a single food, but it’s only been four years since I stopped using baby food, the smells are rather memorable – and not in a good way!) The prize I won was some delicious smelling bath products so I am off to go sample them!
