The Big Day

Yesterday we made the trip to Mammoth to see Lynn at Tailwaggers and to get a bath. Tailwaggers has a nice set up to wash your dog with an elevated tub and hand held sprayer. When I said "tub, tub" to Elsie she looked up at the tub not quite sure about getting up there. I showed her the ramp and had her run up it. She resolutely stood there while I soaped her up and got her clean. Afterwards Lynn gave her a treat and we bought many more. I think that my dogs prefer her treats to mine.

Tomorrow is a big day for Elsie. We are going to Reno to have her spayed, or at least that is the plan. She will be almost a year old. I have been on the road so much since February that this is my first opportunity to get her to the vet for this. It will be a very long day. I am not sure how Elsie will be afterwards. Flora was kind of slow the first few days after her spaying. Reiki tonight for Elsie and for her vet.

Product shots

I am currently on the road, again, but before I left I took a few pics of Elsie doing one of her favorite things.

Yep, she can clean out a jar of peanut butter better than most. She only gets organic nut butters and the flavor this day was Trader Joe's crunchy peanut. She is also a connoisseur of almond butters.

If she was a human she could try out for the part of Oliver Twist "Please sir, may I have some more?"

I will be gone for a total of 3 weeks. Jim keeps me updated on the goings on with the pack. I dislike being away sometimes but someone has got to earn some biscuit money (or in Elsie's case peanut butter). By the way, she did not eat that whole jar in one sitting. We have been packing her Kong with it and then putting the Kong in the freezer. Life is so yummy. - Elsie
