Your Own Inner Light to Guide You


There comes a time when you must stand alone.You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own drAllow eams.You must be willing to make sacrifices.You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Doggy Beauty Parlor

So after a while of healing Emerson was given the "OK" from the vet to be groomed. Emerson is a grumpy old man, but still likes to show off a good hair do. So here he is in his little carrier off to the beauty parlor. He actually likes seat belts. He can tell he is going somewhere special so he gets all excited. I saw this "Do it yourself" dog grooming place so I thought I would give it a try. Since he about bit the last groomers face off LOL! I was going to attempt it myself. Well, at this place you can bring you dog and bathe them, shine them all up and make them pretty for a fraction of the cost. The people felt so sad for Emerson and his sad little abused past that they took him in for a professional groom. He was showing off like crazy. When he would get nervous he would jump up and put his paws on my shoulder like little sad kid. So while Emerson was at his spa day I thought I would run back home and get the huge dog, that barks at anything that moves, so she too could get a bath. The kids had such a fun time bathing her. It is the perfect doggy shower. I should put one of these things in our house. It is defiantly a lot easier than me running around like a crazy person with a garden hose in the backyard to get the job done :)

Since Halloween was coming up I couldn't resist the "grease lighting" look. It was so good for Halloween.

Mason, Jocie and Tallon giving Zoie a bath. It was a little difficult transporting them all home that is for sure.

No wonder Zoie was running all over the yard trying to stay away from me. The hose is freezing! This place had warm water, and special doggy shampoo. I can't put her in our shower or we go through 2 bottles of Drano .

We give our 2 labs showers in our tub/shower - we tape a nylon mesh over the drain - so as the water can go down but not the hair - saves the plumbing!

I hate the smell of "wet dog" YUCK!!! Zoie goes crazy. She would break down our shower doors. I have put my foot down. So now she has to live outside. It is either ME or the DOG! ( Emerson doesn't count he is hardly a dog )
