That sounds like a great weekend willow! So glad to hear it! Was it a holiday on your side of the pond that prompted the fireworks?
I had kind of a rough one yesterday but todays been all right. I gave one of my dogs - my biggest and hairiest- a bath. ( he had an upset tummy that necessitated it, 'nuff said! ) Because he is older and has arthritis, and also is too large for me to hold up too long, I ran him an actual bath. He laid in the water with his chin propped on the tub edge. I let him soak for a bit, then lifted as needed to get alll of him washed, conditioned, then got him rinsed with the shower head. He seemed happy as a clam!
Now he is extra fluffy and soft. He's not a fan of being brushed so I just keep swiping at him quickly as he goes by. I am a dog brush ninja.
