Last Friday - 3rd Friday in a row

Friday, February 23rd.... no word of a lie! Bloody owl was doing his thing again when I got home from work. This time he WAS sitting in the trees to the west, and I could finally see him clearly! Great horned owl it was! I run in the house to get Colin so that he could see the owl - 2 seconds was all it took - when we got back outside, the owl was gone. Poof*, just like that!

Walked Gracie that evening down at the off leash area, LOTS of doggies and their owners down there. So she got a good work out! It was GORGEOUS!!

Did a wee bit of 2nd hand "looking" on Saturday, didn't really find anything noteworthy. DAMN! LOL

It was bath time at the zoo yesterday! Gracie was beginning to smell, so she needed to be bathed. God God Almighty - the hair in the tub from that dog!! Amazing how she LOVES to swim in the river, but be damned if she'll get in the tub on her own. ~big sigh~ So there I am, trying to pull her to the tub edge. Not gonna happen. Finally get her to the edge of the tub, now I have to lift the front end of her (the heaviest end, by the way!) over the lip of the tub. I swear the front end alone weighs 90 lbs! She isn't fighting, but she certainly isn't helping!! Then pick up and plop the rear end of her into the tub. Whew, that's the hardest part of the whole tub experience - getting the dog INTO the tub!

Not content to leave well enough alone - Lynx was next. (In a semi cleaned tub) With Brewster checking out every step of the way, as poor ole Lynx was yowling thru the whole ordeal. Then it was Brewster's turn! NOW the war was on!! He got away from me, and out of the tub about 4 times. Water EVERYWHERE!! I was absolutely, positively SOAKED!!

And then I cleaned and sanitized the bathroom - washed walls, the whole bit. There was dog hair stuck to the walls from Gracie shaking. Sheesh. Doesn't THAT sound like a fun way to spend your Sunday?
