I just started creating a lens over at Squidoo. You can see the work in progress at http://www.squidoo.com/mybehaveddog Sure is fun to make and I plan on putting lots of cool dog related things there as well as more photos of Mags. I have to go to the basement and find some photos, as I have recently moved and have yet to unpack all boxes.
The weather here in central Sweden is turning. This morning when I went out with the dog, there was a pretty good layer of frost on the grass and the cars. Summers are really short here and the winters are long and dark. I plan on being outdoors as much as possible this fall to enjoy the last bit of warmth before winter sets in.
I need to get Maggie to the vet and have her nails clipped again. I take her about every 5 weeks. I have a nail trimmer, but am too 'chicken' to cut more than just the tips off. Her nails are black and so small, it is hard to see where the 'quick' begins. My sister is a professional dog groomer, and I have watched her numerous times trim dog's nails, so you would think I could do it!
Luckily Maggie has 'hair' as opposed to fur. She is really easy to groom, so I don't have to take her to a professional groomer. I took her once when she was about 5 months old. They worked on her for over 4 hours (doing what, I'm not sure)and when I went to pick her up, she looked a heck of a lot like a schnauzer! Plus they charged me about $45.00! So needless to say, I learned quickly how to keep up with her grooming. She loves being groomed, and when she sees me bring out the equipment-scissors, towel, etc, she jumps up on the chair, then hops to the kitchen table and is ready! Sometimes I groom her on my lap; it is easier to brush her belly that way. She actually falls asleep during the process-it's really cute! Well, enough for now. Come back and please do leave comments and I will come to your blog and return the favor! Peace, Cin
