Today we are going to a birthday party for Tom, potluck and lots of fun today. We went over last night and visited for a while and stayed a lot longer then we planned on as we were having so much fun. I hate thought they are leaving Wednesday evening as I will miss them.
Did not get much of anything done yesterday except bathe dogs.
Freckles is a great little dog to bathe, he just sits there or stands there which ever you tell him to do. You put your finger under his chin and he will put his little head straight up in the air where you can wash his head without getting it in his eyes.
Yo-yo is a pain in the ...., he doesn't want to hold still and he hates his back end scrubbed. He will be good if he can put his head on my chest but if you try to make him stand sideways or heaven forbid backwards the fight is on. I finally get mad and grab his tail with one hand and wash with the other and he will kind of stand there but my hand and arm get tired by the time we are done cause he pulls the whole time.
Paco, (Mini Kaka) lives up to his name in the shower. Usually at home I hold him up in the air and I use a cup and the sink so this was his first shower and I mean he is a little ping pong ball with a high dose of caffeine or if you know anything about drugs he is a little dog on meth. He is impossible to hold on to (next time he will be showered in a harness) he can jump higher then I can sit and he is so fast he is just a little black blur, it is lucky the shower door is where I could close it where I fill the opening. He kept landing on me before I even saw him coming, he never once was still from the first time that shower spray hit him, I tried yelling at him and I don't even think he heard me, I tried to grab him, ever tried to hold onto a wet hurricane? Worse then a greased pig as a whole lot faster. I even swatted him once, I don't think he even felt it. He was in a total panic and his little heart was racing so fast I am surprised he did not pass out and hyperventilating like mad, I should have put a paper bag over his head then maybe I could have controlled him. I could not do anything but laugh. He was one happy puppy when I finally let him stay on my chest and I was wetter then he was when we got done and the poor bathroom had water all over it.
After mom made me give them a bath and all that work and then cleaning up all the mess they are the ones that got the cookies, now don't you think I should have got cookies too????
I was so wore out by the time I was done all I did was wash the towels and read for awhile. My left hand is sore this morning from trying to hold onto YoYo and Paco. The groomer says they are the best dogs (she has never done Paco) that she has to bathe. Well she has one of those leases that holds YoYo still...lol No they aren't that bad but Paco is a story onto his self. How can a 4 lb dog be such a mini kaka? you would think I could control him by size, right? wrong! I am just not fast enough by far. I sure would have loved to have a video of his first shower.
