A day at the Beauty Parlor...

Another eventful weekend!!
I woke up Saturday morning at the crack of dawn. Just because it's the weekend doesn't mean mommy gets to sleep in! As always, as soon as I heard her move around in her bed, I started my usual whining until she took me outside. No, of course I didn't have to go that badly, but I don't want to waste any of my time with her when she is actually home instead of at work! After I had inhaled my breakfast- I thought it was going to be another lazy weekend day at home sleeping on the couch and listening to her Classic Rock. Boy, was I wrong! Before I had even finished licking my bowl, she stuck my leash back on and we were off!
After walking for what seemed like an ETERNITY we arrived at a place called "PetCo"... apparently they say it's "where the pet's go"- but, if you ask me.... it's really more like "where the humans force their pets to go". I was immediately handed over to someone I have never met before and my mom was told to come back in an hour and a half. And she LISTENED to them! For all she knew, they could've held me captive, or "dog-napped" me.... although, I have heard her say that no one would ever "take" me because of my "stellar" behavior. And, if I were ever taken, I would be returned within a day because no one else would want to deal with me. I take that as a personal compliment, thank you very much! Well, of course I had to show her who was the one in charge! By the time mommy returned, every person working in that place knew my name! I am quite the popular little Bully! Well, after all their fussing over this adorable little face... they did the unthinkable! I was sprayed down with a hose and doused in sweet smelling soap! It was a horrifying , traumatic experience that I wish to never experience again (although, mommy told me that it is going to be at least bi-monthly occurrence from now on). However, I DID get a new bed out of the whole fiasco. And then, I had to make the long trek back home. To say I was tired and panting would be an understatement.... we passed a few other walkers on the way and mommy had to assure them that we had really only been walking for about 5 minutes.... pshh- 5 minutes seems like an eternity when you've spent your whole morning being primped at the beauty salon!
Well, the rest of my day was fairly uneventful, other than the fact that I was actually allowed within a 10 foot radius of mommy! After my beauty bath, we went home and chilled on the deck in the B-E-A-UUUTIFUL sunshine!
