An open prompt gives way for a totally random post, yes? Well then, here we go.
Yesterday I took the dog to the vet, because the day before I discovered he has fleas. It wasn’t just that – he needed his shots, too. That, among other things, took me away from the work I need to do. Editing work, that is.
Today, I decided to give said dog a bath. Ha! He had other ideas. Mostly, he was petrified. I have no idea what made it so easy last time I did it … Could it have been that he was half asleep and sick (he’d thrown up in his crate), and couldn’t care less last time? Maybe. So I have a dog that’s been drugged with flea and tick medication, who hasn’t yet been bathed. My question is have the fleas abandoned ship and are looking for more smells-like-home digs? Coz they ain’t swimmin’ in the sewer.
The kid had been looking forward to giving the pup a bath, so he wasn’t happy either. So we’ve just been hanging out all day, playing computer games and watching TV, with me trying to get a minute here and there to concentrate on my editing work. The dog seems happy.
It amazes me that I can get a picture out there to all of you even before the kid and the dog have moved an inch. Well done, technology.

Not as much as you would think…and it smells really good! I think (for people) it’s good for eczema and dandruff, but don’t quote me on that. *laugh*

That’s a great picture. Bath time seems to be a crap-shoot with dogs, no matter what.

Super cute pic 🙂
Sadie hates baths, too. Loves to swim, hates baths. Just another reason to want a pond out back!
