Skunk World

So what's up with the number of skunks lurking about these days? We have had a few skunked pooches in the dog wash over the last week or so. First there was Dora, our lovely Bulldog friend. She desperately wanted to play with a skunk that greeted her at her backdoor last week. Sadly, the skunk did not feel the same way. Dora has not recovered from the slight.

Today Agatha the Wirehaired Fox Terrier came in after having had a run in with a skunk. She shook the hell out of it, it sprayed the hell out of her. All's fair in skunk love I guess.

Nice ice huh?

So in the words of our friend Erik, how's the ice storm of the century working out for all of you kids? It's been a beauty huh?
We can't keep Safe Paw in the place. We're trying to get as much as we can as fast as we can but it's been tough to get it from suppliers. I guess we got lulled into a sense of complacency when we had all those 65 degree days.

All rightie then....

OK, so for almost two weeks now, our eyes have been bugging out of our heads while we try like hell to get things together in the new space. Things are looking a bit better, though we're still working out of boxes a bit. Witness the boxes at the lower right of the frame.



Our friends are still helping out like mad which is totally cool and keeps us from going certifiably insane. Many special thanks to Eddie O., Heidi, Erik, Leslie, and Flame.

We've gotten the dog wash going if only in an abbreviated manner right now, still have some little kinks to work out with that... but we thought you'd like to see some of our first guests in our new "All Washed Up".





Going to my happy place.








God help me.
