Rhythm and Routine

Life got its rhythm and routine back this week--It was hectic and busy at the start of it, and settled down by Thursday when I was off.  I enjoyed every minute of it.  It means that life is getting back to normal, whatever normal is.
~Downtown Leesburg Virginia~
The weather has been perfect all week and we've been able to have the windows open every day. In the evenings I've taken Sheba for one-on-one walks.  I know she has enjoyed the walks, and I think she's finding her new independence.
Todd got his last haircut for the year and looks like a Scottie again. A friend of mine who also has a Scottie took time a couple of months ago to show me how to groom Todd. She is a great teacher and made it look really easy.  With her encouragement I am really motivated to try doing it myself, and I know at some point I will.
But with all that has been going on, this time I decided to just take Todd to the groomer.  Besides it's the only time he smells like cinnamon, wears a tulle bow (I know, it's so un-Scottie-like!) and he is ....
really worn out! That just doesn't happen very often!

    Todd looks so handsome!. A tired dog is a good thing, sometimes, isn't it?
    I know it must be really hard on all of the dogs when a friend dies. I know Sheba appreciates one on one with you. I guess this means she is now the leader of the pack?
    Enjoy the weekend and maybe make yourself a little comfort food. Maybe another blackberry cobbler.
    Take care and hugs.

    Lovely cut for Todd, the bow, I think he likes it, judging by his eyes, or maybe not, as he just plain went to sleep. Take care, Hugs,Jean.

    Good to hear that Sheba is adjusting.
    Todd looks so sweet, they usually crash after the trauma of a bath. :)

    Todd, I feel for you. Perfume and neckware? The things you put up with.

    The good thing about learning to trim dogs is that they have no idea how they look. So there's no problem with your mistakes...they are simply learning experiences. Glad you had a good week.

    BOL Todd she stuck a bow on you, well at least it was blue. I'm always exhausted after the fur stealers.

    Aroo to you,
    Sully

    I'm glad that Sheba is finding her way. I was also wondering if she's becoming the new leader...

    I see that Todd's bow was already gone by the last photo :) Once, a long time ago, we paid to have our Labs groomed. The groomer put bows on them (ha!). They promptly jumped in a cranberry bog and got completely covered in mud! That was the last time we ever paid for a groomer to bathe our dogs!
