Why Do Today What You Can Put Off Until Tomorrow?
Good morning.
Hubby had put it off until Sunday. He was sure he had gone on a Sunday before. They were closed. The dog needs his toenails clipped, badly. I whip out the phone book and start calling dog grooming places. No answer. No voicemail. Then I see a really local number, and the conversation went like this...
Her: "Hello?"
Me: "Oh...Hi! Hey do you clip dogs?"
Her: "Um...yeah."
At this point Hubby is flapping his arms at me saying "nails, nails, do they clip dogs NAILS!?"
Me: "Like toenails? You clip dogs nails?"
Her: "Yeah."
Me: "Well, are you open today or whatever?"
Her: "Um, wellllllll....actually I was just on my way out, but, um, well, yeah ok."
Me: "Uhuh...ok.
Her: "Ok, can I call you when I get back in a couple of hours?"
Me: "Yeah sure."
Her: "Ok."
Me: "Here I'll give you my cell # because we'll be going out too."
Her: "Well, are you going to be around in a couple of hours?"
Me: "Yeah."
Me: "Hey! Is this Michelle?!!?"
Her: "What?"
All of a sudden she sounded exactly like my neighbour Michelle, EXACTLY like her.
Me: "Oh nevermind, you just sounded familiar, like someone I know."
Her: "Oh, you thought I was someone you know?"
Me: "Yeah. Who are you?" Chuckle.
Her: "This is Sue. And you are?"
Me: "Char."
Her: "How long has it been since he had it done?"
Me: "I don't know, a while."
Her: "And how is he about having it done?"
Me: "Good, he's fine."
Her: "And what kind of dog is he?"
My brain was screaming at me DON'T TELL HER!
Me: "Rotti/Shepperd." Chuckle.
Her: "Ok I'll call you when I get back."
Me: "Ok, great."
Her: "You won't find anyone else. Nobody is open today."
Me: "Oh."
Her: "K bye."
Me: "Thanks, bye."
Hubby is flapping again, how much, HOW MUCH?
Me: "Wait, wait! How much is it?"
Her: "Ten bucks."
Me: "Ok thanks bye."
My phone never left my pocket. She never called. My poor guy still needs his nails clipped. Hubby says "you should have said he was a poodle. Then when we get there, just laugh and pretend you had him confused with your daughters new puppy or something." Yeah, ok Honey.
The truth is, he is amazingly good about it. He just sits there like he's at a spa having a pedicure. We do put a muzzle on him anyways, just to make the groomer feel safe. He can be intimidating looking, and he is judged by his looks all the time. Watch the Dog Whisperer people! Cesar loves Rottis. They are fantastic dogs. He is a cross of two breeds which are both powerful, smart, fearless and loyal. Both breeds are used for guarding, and as police dogs and stuff like that. ALL dogs have the capability of being vicious. But my guy gets a bad rap all the time just because of his breed and his looks. As long as they are trained and treated properly, they are fine. Anyways, I guess we'll have to make an appointment for this weekend for him. No more putting it off. Besides the place we usually go to only charges $5! and they know him and LIKE him.
When Hubby returned from the cigarette run on Saturday, he asked me to put the smokes away in the freezer. I reach into the bag and there is something strange, wrapped in tissue. Ah! It's a belt, with a very cool buckle, for me. Thanks Honey. He didn't really get me anything for my birthday, he assumed I would co-operate and pick something for myself, but he was wrong about that. He did run into some bad weather on that trip, but it was nothing we didn't get here too. Hail and sleet and snow.
Sunday turned out to be quite decent weatherwise. It was mainly sunny and almost mild when the wind wasn't whipping. We went to town, he needed a new blade for his chainsaw. We got that and a few other things. He bought me a new axe! We spent the afternoon chopping firewood as we waited for Sue the dog groomer to call. He cut the big stuff up with his chainsaw and I split it with my new axe. Hubby is getting increasingly impatient and belligerent with old people, especially if they are driving. He stopped in front of Walmart to let an old lady cross the road and go into Walmart. He's like "That's right granny, take yer time, around the block in 80 days, there ya go..." and on and on. But when they are driving, he FREAKS out. This is due to his accident being caused by an old man driving his wife's car. He now believes old people shouldn't be allowed out, much less to drive on our roads.
I watched TV Sunday night! I rarely watch TV. All I really watch is soaps. I watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition and bawled through the whole thing. I really hate when Ty yells through that bullhorn. I can't imagine actually being there, if I was, I would proabably say something to him about it. Like "Dude, totally unneccesary and most annoying, got any Tylenol?" Then I watched Desperate Housewives. That show reminds me of here, just with lots more money. And then I watched a newer show called Brothers & Sisters. Sally Field plays the matriarch. Not sure, I did sit there and watch the whole thing, kind of enjoyed it. Our satellite is screwy, there is no guide, so I never know whats on. All I know is Soap Net and ABC when my soaps are on Monday to Friday afternoons. Other than that, its sit and scan through all the channels and see what I find. Since we now have a big screen TV, I guess I feel a little obligated to USE it.
It seems this unseasonably cold freakish weather has killed off my gardens. That means I must dig up some of my bulbs now. This morning is pouring rain, so it won't be happening today.
I've been reading my horoscope, and it needs to catch up. It keeps telling me things that I already know or that have already happened. However it didn't tell me to expect a belt and an axe for my birthday! Wouldn't have seen that coming!
Have a great day.
