Phyl there is no rest for the weary...I had to put in about 8 1/2 hours in the kennel today grooming and cleaning.
Now to catch up on laundry, human and dog...LOL
Hubby was great and the house is in pretty good shape, but tomorrow I have to go grocery shopping and then put another full day in grooming....sigh

Denice, you know the saying "A man's work is from sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done". I'm sure John did all he thought necessary, but he just can't do your work your way
When is your next set of shows? I know you are proud of your Tommie
-----

You are so right Phyl.......my work is never done!
I have Little Rock dog shows on Aug 8&9th.
So a little break till then........

Enjoy your break, Denice. It seems like you've been traveling for quite some time. BTW, how are the shows doing these days with the poor economy? Do you see any big diffeence in the number of dogs being shown?

At first yes I saw a difference, but lately the shows at Dallas, San Antonio and Houston were fairly large. So I think some people are back at it, or it could have just been the venues. Time will tell with my next few shows. They posted the numbers for Little Rock and I was stunned to see 10 Tzu entered last time I did an Arkansas show I was the only Shih Tzu.

Glad to hear that some areas are still doing well with the shows, Denice. I know that some vacation areas in CT are hurting. Heck, the postal service is even reducing the number of mailboxes in my neighborhood. I use to be a able to just walk down the hill to mail a letter. Now, I have to get in my car and drive to the nearest one. LOL

Mary Lou,

The Postal service, I use the term service losely, did the same thing to us 4 or 5 years ago. We had to walk a block to get our mail. Late last winter, due to our health problems, our Doctor gave us a hardship letter and they start delivering our mail to our door again.

I forgot to mention we had to drive to the Post Office to get any packages as they would not deliver them.
