Day 641

We took the dogs to the Wags and Waves event at Hawaiian Falls today. Somehow, I thought that Dot and Dash would really like the water this year, since they were curious about it last year. No such luck. When we would get in the water with them, all they wanted to do was get out again as fast as they could. There were hundreds of dogs splashing around and having a grand time, but our two wanted nothing to do with the water.

A video crew wanted to get an interview with Dot and Dash at the Dalmatian Rescue booth. Ann and Janet didn't want to do the interview because they don't like being on camera. I didn't want to do the interview because my neck is still stiff and I look like a zombie. Lucky, Travis was there. Travis is usually up for anything, so with any luck, his interview segment with Dot and Dash will be on TV somewhere this evening. Even though the event lasted all day, we all left a little after 2 PM. Lots of dogs were having fun, but we didn't make much in donations today. Anyway, when Dash is ready to go, you might as well just go.

Even though Saturdays are busy errand days, I really didn't do much today. I got my grocery shopping done when we returned from the water park and used the rest of the day to take a nap. I wish I'd start feeling better soon. Right now, a nap is about the only thing that seems to work.

Day 636

Today it was back to basics. There's always a lot to catch up on after a week away. I answered phone messages from clients who apparently still don't believe in e-mail. It seems a bit odd to deal with website changes over the phone, but on the other hand, the people who prefer the telephone save me a lot of time typing. Whatever they want to do is OK with me.

The dogs got a nice long morning walk and then I spent the rest of the day making website changes and getting my September invoices in the mail. Invoicing would go a little quicker if I could just sent PDF files, but most people still want two copies on paper mailed to them. The second copy gets mailed back to me with the payment. I've done things this way for years, but still don't really understand why.

Dalmatian Rescue is going to have a booth at Wags and Waves this weekend. Every year when the area waterparks close for the season, they set aside their final weekend just for dogs. We took Dot and Dash to the Hawaiian Falls event last year and they both had a great time. Dot rode down the lazy river in a tube and Dash chased balls in the wave pool. We didn't even think our dogs liked water, so they sure fooled us. These Wags and Waves events attract thousands of dogs and their owners, so we're hoping we'll be able to raise a little money for the Dalmatians at our booth. Probably a lot of other area rescue groups will be there as well.

I did several loads of laundry today and picked up some clothes from the dry cleaner. Tomorrow, it may be time to get myself cleaned up as well. I think it's time for a haircut.
