Bath Time

Then I got ambitious and decided to bathe the dogs. Whiskey did well on the whole, but Gracie was a basket case. Complete freak-out with loss of bowel control. Next time, I take them to the do-it-yourself doggie wash. Easier on them (non-skid surfaces in the baths) and on my back (not having to lift them into/out of the tub).[ViewFromTheHeart] We don't have any problem getting Lily to take a bath. We actually have to watch her now when we start the water for a shower. One time I started the water and left the room for a second, next thing I hear is a couple of thumps from the bathroom. I go in and Lily is in the tub ready and waiting for a bath. She has even learned to lift her hind legs so that we can scrub her belly. Of course washing a pug is a little easier than washing a couple of greyhounds. 11:02:36 PM

Mmmm... Bread
Well, the loaves came out great! At first I was thinking of freezing one of the loaves, but seeing as one the loaves is almost gone, I don't think that I will need to. Warm bread just from the oven is so good. 10:54:36 PM

Baking Bread
I am making my first loaves of bread right now. I have always liked the PBS show Baking Bread with Father Dominic, and I even have a Danish dough wisk, but this is the first time that I have tried to make something. I have started with Honey Oatmeal Bread. Should be done in about 30 min. 9:41:11 PM

+. + I don't know how to break this to Scoble, but a dog humping your leg is not happy. He is asserting dominance. He is threatened by your presence, and is trying to show you who's boss. Not a problem with a small dog, but if you're working with a Dane or a St. Bernard it can be an extreme eye-opener. [ViewFromTheHeart] Lily will occasionally hump her bed. That will show her bed who's the boss. :) 3:32:14 AM
