Rub-a-dub-dub, freaky

So in prep for our trip we gave both of the dogs a bath.  They both dislike bath’s but I am not quite sure why.  It’s like getting a wet and warm massage.  There are negative aspects of bathing the dogs for different reasons.

Nicki tolerates the bathing process well enough.  After we are done I carry her out to lanai wrapped in a towel to try to dry her off.   However as soon as she goes back inside she instantly starts rolling around on the furniture and the carpet trying to get her “stink” back.  Of course this process gets wet, black dog hair all over everything, something I just love..

Sadie doesn’t do the post wash carpet dance like Nicki.  Instead her trick is to shake while we are washing her head in the tub, blasting us at point blank range with dirty dog water.  It’s just lovely.

I did more prep for the trip after work last night, doing a speed mowing session on the tractor as well as giving the house plants a quick dose of water to get them through the week.

Last night Ali sent me a link to Mick Jagger performing at the Grammy’s the other night.  She said it was visually disturbing.  I have not seen Mick for at least 5 years so I was interested to see what she meant.  Wow, it was freaky.  He almost looked like a marionette, he’s pencil thin with that big head bolted on.  His face was all sorts of weird looking.  He appears to be botoxed to the max.  Even though he was singing his heart out, you didn’t see a thing moving on his face except his mouth.  It was very odd.
