All In a Dog's Day At Work

Tiling 101

Pip:

Well today Abby and I got started with a little help from mom and dad tiling the shower wall. We had to start early because dad said he's tired of waiting for the plumber who won't be back to next Tuesday ...and we're expecting the electrician to run wiring to our new dog bath today.........

(Abby interrupts) Umm Pip I think that's the humans washing area not ours.

Pip: No Abby I think it's all ours because mom tells us everyday we need a bath and soon, so I'm sure it's all for You and I. 

So we got dad to help pour the powder in the bucket and mom added the water......Then thinking about earlier......dad turned on the drill with the mixer on the end by mistake and moms finger almost got twisted off so I thought he should run that too...Can't have it tearing my long hair out can I?  Human's really are so clumsy

Now dad, can you reach that high spot for me?  I'm a little bit short ya know...Little bit more...higher...no you missed a spot, go back again 

Hows it looking from back there Abby?

How's that Pip? Maybe I can roll in the sticky stuff then and brush it on with my tail? 

Whats that mom? Oooooh she said a curse word....I can't say that in my blog mom!

Hold up a minute Abby ....my wee wee itches....grrrr grrr....lick, lick..... Awe....that's better

Abby that is a tile cutter...... not your own personal elevated bed...get off before you cut yourself in half...I couldn't stand two of you running around here.

 

Stay tuned tomarrow ......It's hammer time....Knocking more old tiles off the wall, Now that's fun!

Haha!  Brilliant!  And it looks like you are doing a fabulous job of it.  Can't wait to see the finished result.  

So, how much did you get in your knickers, Abby?  And Pip, you do realise that if you claim the humans' washing area, then you will end up having more baths, don't you?

:roflmao:

Pip:

Glad to say because mom kept damp towels down and fast pick up of any spillage neither Abby or I got the first speck on us....Never seen mom move so fast ........and she's ancient ya know :roflmao:

I over heard mom talking to dad and I'm worried about bathes now. She gone and found a baby bath...get this...On Legs!

She told dad she found two kinds and has to choose which one now......and she can stand up and wash us in there and not hurt her old back! Plus it's got a drainage tube so she can still use her recirculating hydro contraption on us! 

 The indignity of being in a human baby bath and she knows I'm scared of heights... ...I may pout the whole time....so if my pictures show I'm grumpy that because I am  :bomb:

Wow, it's all going on at your house.. Poor Muumy and Daddy, I bet they'll be glad when it's all finished... 

Love,y to see you guys helping ? 

Talking about taking tiles off.... Many, many years ago... Huhh hummm... 

We had these horrible pink tiles, I hated them...

Hubby went off to work, as usual- I looked in the garage, armed myself with hammers and other tools and started knocking these tiles off the walls... 

Should of seen hubby's face when he came home from work... 

Do you know what he said???? 

You took them off, you can sort it out.... Lol 

 I plastered the walls and then painted them... Boy, it was hard work!! Lol

Master Pip and Miss Abby Lane you are quite the handy paws......such good inspectors. I know the B*** word is not something you want to see or hear but look at this way.......when Mum can give you a bath without her back acting up the bath goes faster.......you will be in and out before you know it.  Keep up the good work and be sure Mum shows pictures of their progress cause I love home redo's.

No dad it's not straight....come here and give me a lift and I will show you why.

If you ever tried tiling with two Shih Tzu's watching your every move, constantly underfoot, laying down to nap right in the way, wanting to help mix the adhesive and sniff every single tile?

The only dogs I have ever seen that Don't run and hide when cutting marble on a Loud cutter......They come running in to watch and wanting to help

Well..just say you have to have plenty of patience :roflmao:

When someone comments on your bathroom you can say every family member had a hand/paw in it.........they just want to be a part of the action. Heaven forbid they might miss something...........Your marble looks very pretty.....Dad and Pip are doing a great job installing it.........:tracy:

Indeed!  Maybe you should each put a hand/paw print in the mud!  Years ago when we had Daisy, our first family dog, we had a concrete sidewalk put in.  In a little while the fellow came to the door and asked me to bring the dog in the house.......he had to re-do one place twice because she walked through it.  She died shortly after that and I wished I'd have left some prints there to remember her by.  I always say she was the smartest but naughtiest dog we ever had.

Very nice tile.

Pip and Abby report

We getting worried...mom got some new stuff for our impending bath ......Moms been getting all our stuff from Secret Weapon cause it makes our coats beautiful......She ordered something new this time....Blueberry Bright Shampoo and something called Mineral Mud Shampoo that Auntie Julia told mom about for when we get the itchies....and Foam Away Facial Cleaner for daily use........Think we're  safe a few more days cause the plumber and electrician are a no show returning so far to hook it up for us...Don't tell mom but we secretly bribed them to stay away as long as possiable :roflmao:

Moms got her eyes on the new Scissor's and thinners they started selling now...The handle looks like a dragon head....She thinks they look so cool........No mom you don't need them...step back from dads card right now! :nono:

These old folks sure take their time...Six hours today to put together the shower frame and glass..It would help of dad turned things around first to start with before he screwed it down but you have to humour old folks ya know.

Abby and I supervised as usual and for some reason moms always telling us Move..now..Move. Like how can we tell if your doing it right if we have to move every 5 minute mom?

Oh look at you two helping. 

Pip you had a very important job of testing the shower tray out for everyone, you need it to be just right- don't you ?

Rome wasn't built in a day ? Looking fab so far ?

"Did you see Sir Pip fast asleep on the shower tray?"

Our male Boxer Mack used to sleep in the stall shower on hot days.
