Ahhh I survived another day at work with no voice. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the doctor to see why I have lost my voice. I have no obvious reasons as to why I have lost it. But because I could not talk, I got to wash dogs today at work. Which wasn't so bad but my back is killing me!! I washed 13 dogs ... 3 of which were large dogs. I was SOAKED to the skin with my first dog ... literally. Was a lab/shepard mix. Very sweet dog ... but soaked me to the skin!! And I just stayed wet the remainder of the day. I had a couple dogs growl at me but no bites. I am pretty much no nonsense with dogs and I think they feel that. I did have one poodle that did not want me to dry him. I ended up just putting a box dryer on him which typically you don't do with poodles (or any dogs that have a curly coat) but that was all we could do with him. When I talked to the groomer who was doing him, she had told the other bather that Cody needed to be done because he is on ACE (acepromazine ... a relaxant for dogs) so he needed to be done. Well, the other bather never did him. Just said oh ok and went onto another dog. Well, I noticed that he hadn't been done yet and I knew he was on ACE but I had already did two large dogs and there were just two other large dogs to be done including this standard poodle. I was going to let the other bather do those since I had already done two large dogs. Well I ended up doing this poodle. I really think this poodle is inbred too much. He just is not right. He is not a bad poodle. Just a little off!! Needless to say, his cut wasn't as good as it could have been because his coat had to dry under a box dryer (one of those dryers they hang on the front of the kennel). I tried to use the high forced air dryer on him and he went literally nuts! So between me not feeling good and him going nuts, I said Nuts to it!! Luckily the groomer was cool about it. Just ticks me off about the other bather. The groomer had told her to do the dog and she ignored her. That bather is known by the other bathers not to like to do big dogs. Now I have witnessed it myself. Oh well, in a couple months, it will not matter to me. I have told all the bathers that if they have issues to go to Alysia. If they do not want to handle it themselves then it must not bother them that much. I cannot wait to go to the doctor's to see what is causing my laryngitis.
Ok, other than that, not much going on here! Boring life, I know ... I LOVE IT!! Excitement around here is hardly ever good so I would much rather have it this way!!
Toodles for tonight!!
