No Mud Today

Here is the gallery.

We had wild play today. Dogs were excited as we were mudless. 

I groomed till now. I was excited to see Axel and Bonham after such a time but I didn't have time to talk. It is unfortunate. Doing grooming and fitting in exercise is like juggling a ball that doesn't want to land in your hand but we got it done. 

Thank you truly to Bonham's parents for the lovely gifts and thanks to Lachlan and Marley's parents for the yum cookies. Thank you to Ronnie and Elana for such a generous gift card. Tips were and always are appreciated! We do appreciate you thinking of us and I mean that sincerely.

Exciting things were going on. We had dogs playing with dogs that usually don't. We had departures today after the Christmas break. We still have dogs visiting but departures have begun a little each day. 

My apple watch says "loud environment" so I gather they mean the dogs. That is way funny.

Got bad news that a dear friend that has cancer is not going into remission after months and months of treatment. Think I just balled my eyes out while I was grooming. 2025 is supposed to be better.

So very sorry about your friend, Darlah. You have had more than your share.

This really hit me. I cried all the way through exercise today and through grooming.

So sorry Darlah, that type of news is just so heartbreaking.

Nothing like being told there is nothing they can do. She is exploring a trial in Singapore. I talked to her over an hour via zoom today while I groomed. They just listed their house so they can deal with the cost. Scary road to travel. There is also a possibility with a trial in New York. Talked to her husband. He is afraid that they will lose everything and she will still die. What a terrible position to be in for all.
