Hi friends. I've been a bit MIA lately. Mostly because I just don't feel very funny right now. A couple of things have happened in my world, and honestly, it's taken the mickey right out of me. Not to worry, it's nothing that's happened TO me exactly. Just around me. I'll get it together soon. But enough of that!
I thought I'd share a bit of what goes on around my house. You know, so you can see a bit of how we roll around the Burrow.
This is Syd, my super sweet treasure of a dog. We adopted him from an amazing rescue organization called GRRAND about 4 years ago. This dog is perfect in every way. Except one.
When he sees a brush, he flips.out. We think that whoever had him before us must have hit him. A lot. So I don't brush him. I have him bathed and shaved with a groomer. But we lost our groomer, and had to use a new one.
He had been there for about an hour when they called me and told me to come get my dog.
This was about the point they got to when he went ballistic and started screaming and trying to bite everything within a 5 foot radius.
And oddly enough I find this absolutely hilarious. The haircut, that is. So now, I figure I'll just call him an Irish Setter.
But no matter what, I wouldn't trade him for the world.
aww. he looks like my Luna. I have to do that to her next week - I hope she takes it better!
he is a cutie patootie.

Lovin' the dog 'do. What's an extra patch of fur here and there? Poor thing. And I hope things get back into alignment for you and those around you, too.

Oh no! Maybe you should invest in some clippers :) No matter, he still looks like a sweetheart.

People can be so cruel...I bet you are rigth about that brush! Maybe medicate the sweet boy before you finish the job...or just let him be. (On other news.....the crafting has started, and I like what I see so far!)

Poor puppy - he kind of looks like he has gone ten rounds with Wolverine - let's face it, who WOULDN"T want to do that!
Hope things settle down for you. I can totally relate. Life seems to be getting in the way of blogging right now......I am going to make a nice snuggly bed for Dave (my dog) and smooch down with him and be thankful that he has never had to experience any mistreatment. Give Syd a kiss from us Down Under xx

Aah, poor Syd. He still looks a cutie. I had a cat once who was the same - never could get a brush anywhere near him.x
