The Adams Family with Pip and Abby
Wednesday Feb 3rd, 2016
Little did I know when I woke way to early this was going to be a short but horrible day.
I was in the bathroom when my hubby shouted Hey! Come quick something wrong with Abby.....I found her coughing and gagging like she had a hair ball but otherwise alright. Pip does that from time to time so I of course just ignore it cause it just something they do.
I paddled down stairs for my first brew and Abby followed me down. I bent down to give her a kiss and check her over and I got that whiff of sick....That funky, sour smell of a Uncle Fester. My gosh she was rank...I used a baby wipe to wipe her mouth but it just made it worse.
Going back upstairs, I checked the bed....yep...She Had up chucked...So stripped the bed and throwed it in the wash and I made plans how I was going to juggle my day to get bedding done, and two dogs washed and groomed...and do a video ....charged the battery, wiped a card in prep for later.....Oh I was ambitious to even hope ....dummy me.
It's been a good 2 months since they had a full groom and dreaded what lay ahead....Could have used a hand from Thing today lol
10 o'clock water is hot.....so off to the bath with Abby first since she's so rotten....Of all days she decides, No mom I will not cooperate with you today, I will sit on my butt and not stand, screw my head backwards like a owl and fight you every step.....and there isn't anything you can do about it.
Finally got madam bathed and on the table...I usually cut nails after a warm bath because they are softer and seeing through the hair isn't as bad...WELL...Abby decides...no, no, nope your not, Not today! I don't want my nails cut...go away mom! So 10 nails later I have fought the little heifer and got them cut...without one bit of help from her either...She's really peed off with me now...
Since she's a massive terror today.....I decided I will video lip line trimming on Pip...he's always good......Yeah right....
So we go into drying.....She didn't want to do that either.....More like a merry go round...won't be still, up and down, sitting on butt, twirling around...general being a butt head!
Finally dry....God give me strength...Trimmed around all four feet, paw pads, sanitary..trimmed skirt..Most of the time...sitting on her A....butt. Finally hung one hand under her belly and made her stand still...my aching back..... Arggggg. To pay her back for being so naughty.....right girl your getting your little tu tu shaved too! See how you like a chilly willy....
Then the face, beard, whisker trim, eye area cleaned out....Oh yes...The whole while her head turning around in circles like she was in the exorcist...
But...3 hours later....Your done and I mean done and I never stopped no matter how much she misbehaved...Would not had made a good video but she would had earned a Oscar for acting like a silly nelly. So off the sleep she went...she's wore out.
The Colliodal silver is really working though...almost no red stains left.
And what's a Adams Family movie without a part 2?
Mr. Pip....What can I say...
He whined and whinged watching her act silly till he lost his guts in the bathroom....Before I could even start with him....clean up poop...what a dump.
And of course it must be black Wednesday because he started the same crap...sitting on my butt and not cooperating...Gezzzzz Am I cursed today or what? So nope...decided then and there...no video today period...just get on with it...
The only good thing come out of it all is that he allowed me to cut his nails real short...that's a miracle in my book the way my day has been.
Finally got him groomed top to bottom and when I finished I was surprised I had been working on him 3 hours too....So 6 hours fighting two Tasmanian Devils and it was now time to clean up and cook supper...Tell you that was the lightest supper we had in a while, I'm beat but they smell sweet and look like angels sleeping....underneath it all I bet they are laughing at me. Lol
And to top it off.....supper time? They ate all my chicken, all my sweet potato and left me with just veg. Fat butt police won't catch me lol
P/S... All the red dye is gone off him too
