Oh What A Feeling!

Today, I met Ciji.  We met outside a new store.   She was really friendly and we went inside the store with lots of good things to sniff.  Then we went into a room that I wasn't too sure of, but Mom was there, so I was okay.  I got lifted up into this big, shiny thing.  She brushed my teeth - mom was impressed, I never let HER brush  my teeth.  Then I got ALL WET.  Then I got sudsy - Twice - and ALL my bits got cleaned.  Ciji was very careful to remove all the suds, though.  Next was something called a furminator conditioner, it sounded scary, but Cigi said that it would make my coat stronger.  FINALLY, the water was turned off.  My face got dried well with a towel, but then that same towel was wrapped on my head.  Ciji told mom it was a babushka to dry my head more and keep the drier from being so loud for me.  I didn't know what a drier was, but then it got really windy from the thing Cigi was holding, so I guess that was a drier.  All I know is that I was not wet when she was done.  I got to walk around the store a bit more, then we went home.

Ciji followed us!  She came in the house, set up a table, then continued to brush me.  It was very nice - she used something that looked like a small rake and removed more fur from my tush.  She removed mats from my toes, cut my nails and cleaned my ears.  I did NOT like the ear cleaning, but it was quick, so I guess it was okay.  She put a bow on my collar (it has a bell!), stayed and loved me a little bit, then she left.  I was tired, so I took a nap.

I hope I get to see her again!

What's THAT?


I went outide today with mom.  There, standing in MY yard was something new.  It had a LONG black  neck  and two feet.  It was also kind of fat....I tried to drag mom down the steps to investigate.  She let me loose.  I ran down the steps and got close to it - about my length away from it.  It barely moved, so I barked at it.  Just once.  IT GREW WINGS and flew away.  I ran back to mom so she wasn't scared.  From behind her legs, I could see where it stopped in the creek.  I saw that there were more of them.  Now, every time I go out, I sniff where it was very thoroughly.  I don't want invaders in MY yard.
