June 6, 2018. Another great day, praise God!
First thing this morning, I checked Facebook and this popped up as a memory from four years ago. It still rings true today, and should remain true every day of my life on this earth. I MUST cling to this!!!!!
I woke around 10am, did my morning routine, and sat outside on my porch to read today’s devotion from “Jesus Always” by Sarah Young. It was about thankfulness, and the first sentence really grabbed my attention: “Nurture well your thankfulness, for it is the royal road to joy!” Wow. The royal road to joy. I have never heard thankfulness referred to like that before. I really like it! 🙂
It was another productive day. I got some more reading and cleaning done, and I got my June budget squared away. This afternoon, I had a mobile groomer come to my house for my part-Lab, Precious. She has never been professionally groomed. My ex-husband, Todd, always took care of giving the big dogs (Precious and Boudreaux) their baths. Adam (my boyfriend who died in March) was going to trim their nails for me but he never did before he died. I wanted someone else to take care of everything for me, hence the mobile groomer! I was so worried about how Precious would do; she did GREAT! The lady was very impressed! She said if I had not told her that Precious had never been groomed, she never would have guessed it. Yay! She came out looking and smelling so nice; they even put a pretty bandana around her neck. I was so excited and relieved. I had to get a picture! 🙂
I may get the groomer to come back next month for my Catahoula, Boudreaux. He doesn’t seem to need grooming as bad as Precious did! Here is a picture of him from a few months back. I gave him the big bone to chew on and I don’t think he knew what to do with it. Ha ha. He is a big baby and desires all of the attention!
Patches is a different story! He is a miniature long-haired Dachshund; I don’t think he’s ever gone over 7 1/2 pounds! I can wash him in the kitchen sink! Here is a picture of him just a short while ago. He was trying to get my attention as I was typing. Look at those big brown eyes! 🙂
After Precious’ grooming I headed out for some errands. First I went to my vet to get flea medicine for these furry children, then I went to Walmart for a few items. Lastly I went to Chick-fil-a and got a Cobb Salad for supper…..yummy!
I came home, showered, and got ready for bed. Here I am! It is 9:30pm. I’m going to work on here (on different pages) for a little while, and then call it a night. Until next time…..
