There’s nothing like a dog with a gorgeous, long, shiny, well groomed coat. But I got to a stage where I decided looks weren’t everything. It wasn’t the constant house cleaning but more the constant, continuous, never ending dog grooming that got to me. I’ve successfully managed to channel my love for long coated dogs into a love for short coated dogs.

We’re still having dark and gloomy days, I’m really going to appreciate Summer if it ever gets here. I think Spring lasted about 2 weeks before we got another 6 week dose of Winter.

I am so serious.

I would still be imprisoned by my neat freaky ways without my two fur fountains.

I don’t like rum, but Bailey’s is a fine substitute – every now and then. 😉

It’s in my clothes, it’s in my cupboards, I’ve even found it on my tooth brush – but I wouldn’t trade these crazy pooches for anything. I’ve convinced myself that coping with the dog hair builds character – I mean, no one will ever again accuse me of being a perfectionist, right?

I warned hubby when we added a German Shepherd to the house that he was going to have to vacuum every day. He still gripes about the hair, but that Dyson sure gets a work out. The price I pay is minimal to have something I love here in the house, though. I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

I love that I am not the only one that needs the winter to make me appreciate the beautiful sunny days! I grew up in San Diego where every day is 70 and sunny and you end up taking it for granted. Now I truly appreciate a sunny day, even if it is 40! (oh, and we tried living in South Carolina – YUCK, I don’t like humidity . . I’d rather be cold!!)

But I do hear the humans complain about the extra carpets of hair and mud that I cause all over the house!:o)

I hear you. As much as I adore my dog there are some days… Like when she is whining at the gate at the top of the stairs at six am on a Sunday morning… Oddly, the fur doesn’t bother me as much as that pre-dawn wake up call.

My next dog better be lazy!

Thanks for the tip about the rum. 😉

But I pretty much hibernate when it gets that cold.
I can remember a place where 20 degrees felt balmy. It’s all relative. I’m ready for our spring to begin in February.

LOL But I don’t mind in the least because they bring so much joy.

Even if the clean carpet only lasts for 1 hour, I had that 1 hour of happiness and I know that it is possible:)
