Why Spoil the Fun?

An early start to our Saturday as Todd sat without a worry.
I was a little worried as Carl reached out to change the light bulb on our barn.
That job safely done I was off to drop Todd and Charlie off at the groomers for their winter haircuts.  Afterwards I'd planned a day of Christmas shopping.
About an hour later after barely arriving at my first stop, my phone rang.  It was the groomer who I'd not seen when I dropped the boys off.  In her thick Romanian accent she explained that her husband had recently had surgery and had been released a bit too soon from the hospital - She wanted to close the shop for the day, so could I come and pick up Todd and Charlie right away?

Of course I said I'd come and I was met by a very grateful and apologetic groomer, a seemingly confused Charlie and an ecstatic Todd,  His enthusiasm continued and I've a feeling Todd thought he'd hit the jackpot because he got out of being groomed, and a new rope-toy.
Why spoil his fun and tell him that he's going back next Saturday?

  1. Amen to that - who needs to know about a groomer appointment when one can have fun with a great rope toy?

  3. Todd cracks me up!
    He looks cute to me all fluffy like that
    but I know you have to keep it under control.
    I've bought clippers and such and have started
    grooming my dogs myself.
    They look like punk rockers.
    :/ LOL!

  5. Well, I do our cats' claws with a special clipper that is so easy to use. What a grand reprieve for them both.

  9. We promise we won't tell him either !
    One advantage of short haired dogs - they don't need to go to the groomers. Our little Spaniel X (with some Retriever in his genes), who looked very much like Jake, used to go to the groomers every so often. He always tried to run out through the door once he saw where he was headed ! He used to put up a good fight every time I tried to groom him too.

  16. Snow Day! Reminds me of those sublime mornings of childhood, when your mother told you there was NO SCHOOL! Doesn't matter that you have to make them up later. Go Todd!

  17. That's one happy looking Todd! The light bulb change looks a bit dare-devilish. My husband has always been absolutely fearless of heights while I'm just the opposite.

  19. Todd is a gorgeous colour, and I'll bet next week's photo will show him a couple of shades lighter and sparkling champagne coloured. Happy Christmas prep to you - I need to tell myself to 'keep calm and carry on' frequently at this time of the year.

  21. A trip in the car with you and a new rope. If only there was a Dunkin Donuts on the way home it would have been perfect.
