Good Day

Today is a good day, though I am not exactly sure why. Probably less stressful. Good mood. ...

I drove over to work and got three dogs ready for me to bathe. A pomeranian Angel, a black hairy lab mix Dexter, and a small aussie mix (forgotten the name).

Angel is quite a spoiled dog; She came in inside her kennel box. Her grooming style was simply shaved all except for trimming up her tail. She wasn't too bad to groom, took me a bit of patience since she dislike having her legs or feet touched. I had to use scissor to clip fur off the legs instead of the clippers. Angel is a cutie, though I believe she's quite old. I liked Angel's mommy. She gave me some point out where she wanted me to fix on, then she helped holding Angel so I can clipped her nails without a fuss. I received $5 tip. She noticed that I am deaf and was impressed with my lip-reading ability. (I took off my hearing aid because the battery was dying.)

Dexter... Not a bad dog. At first I thought I would have to shave off the whole dog, but the owner preferred this time just trimming off the feathers. Trimming is my favorite thing to do. I eagerly grab the scissor and a comb and start shaping him up. The hind-legs are slightly tough because the fur texture are different. I did not trim up very short on the front-legs because it would look uneven. I trimmed up around the ears and head, to give it a smooth appearance. (I should have done a "before" and "after" photo of Dexter...)

Aussie: She's very cute with or without hair, though I believe is slightly underweight? I felt her backbone. Again, I wish I did a "before" and "after" photo of her, which is drastically different. She's very quick to groom: shave all off.



I got home at 4ish, greeted by Scott who's in a sweet cuddly mood. Scott was excited to have some good lead in selling his laptop... He received few phone calls and five text messages asking about his laptop. One was suppose to come by in the evening to take a look, but decided to come tomorrow instead. Bummer. But a few are planning to come in to take a look tomorrow...

Then we got ready and went out to Applebee's with Mike B. and a couple, Brother and Sister Wilson from the Deaf Ward. After the dinner, we played Apples To Apples card game at Wilson's apartment (not ours). I won the game.

Brother and Sister Wilson has been married for 37 years, I think. They had four kids and some grandkids. Brother Wilson is hearing and Sister Wilson is deaf. I think they're quite a cute couple.

Today is a good day, indeed.
