So what if I don't have a license to groom...lol

My pomeranian has been miserable because she's been so hot. I guess I could've taken her in for a haircut but didn't for a couple of reasons. First, she's a big chicken. She won't set foot outside of our yard. I've tried taking her on walks several times but she just plops her big brown butt on the sidewalk and refuses to move. No matter how much you try to pull her she resists. When I have to take her to the vet she throws a fit like you wouldn't believe. I figure if she's gonna throw such a big fit and make herself sick over the whole thing I'd might as well not spend the money to do it. Instead, I got some scissors out and trimmed her up myself. It may not be all that pretty but she feels much better and it'll grow back in no time. I left all the fur on her head and neck so she sort of looks like a lion...lol. I cut the hair on her head and neck one time and she looked so bad. I swore I'd never do that to her again LOL!

Poor thing....I hope she's not too traumatized over her new "do"! She really dislikes having her picture taken and took off about 2 seconds after I took this one LOL :).

I've spent a lot of today cleaning and doing laundry. I've also been getting Cassie's things together for her trip with her grandparents. We're gonna run out and do some shopping tomorrow for some things she wants to take. I told her I'd pack some snack for her in her backpack just in case she was starving and there was nothing around. Sometimes grandparents forget how needy kids can be so I thought it would be best if she had some things her backpack just in case she gets really hungry when they're at the hotel. That way they won't have to leave to go find her a snack. I really wish I was going with them. They're going to that Titanic museum attraction while they're there and I REALLY want to go! I was telling Mike that I REALLY want to go to that New Year's Eve party they're having. We never go out on New Year's Eve and how much fun would that be to get all dressed up and ring in the new year on the Titanic?! I know they're all gonna have a great time. I know my mom and Cassie have been counting down the days.

I have a hankering for a pickle snow cone...luckily there's a snow cone place right down the street :).
