Every Fifth Tuesday



Every Fifth Tuesday is a good day in the Patterson household.

Good for Butch, Good for me.

Beau? Not so much.

That is the day that Lee, the best pet groomer in the free world, comes to spend an hour in our driveway. Beau is not enamored of the grooming experience.


That's an understatement.

Beau HATES the grooming experience. He likes Lee, but he doesn't like getting a bath or having his paws messed with. And, he hates it even more when Lee does does the other stuff a good groomer does. LOL

I took a picture of our scruffy little guy this morning.



It had been six weeks this time because we had a scheduling conflict last week - our fault -- not Ultra-Pet's. I kind of like Beau in his scruffy mode.

But he seems to lose several years in age after he receives his "spa" services. Beau is ten years old now, we think. When we adopted him in 2005, he was already 3 years old. He has slowed down a little in the last couple of years but is still very puppy-like most days.

Tonight he is sprawled in the middle of the room watching Brian Williams on NBC upside down. At 10 o'clock, he will go sit in front of Butch and stare steadily at him to let him know it is bedtime -- and that means time for his bedtime snack. If he doesn't move fast enough, he'll go get on his "nite nite" bed next to our bedroom door and wait for us to head that way. Our lives changed when this little guy took up residence in his new home. We will be forever grateful.
