Jojo ooh, I'm jealous of Minion! I want my feet fishified! I'm convinced they'd be heaps better.:o
Ah, the doggy bathing is this afternoon, when we get back from town. So I still have that joy to come. We shall be taking the excellent advice that various Flyers offered last night, moving everything portable out of the bathroom, keeping the door firmly closed, arming ourselves with a plethora of towels.... and working in our underwear!:rotfl:
Right, it's nearly time to head for town, so I must away and fling on some war paint.
Laters, all.;)
DD and Kids Dad had their feet fishified last week at CP and loved it. Kids Dad said it was tingling feeling and they took a load of dry skin off.
Hope the doggy bath went ok. Mine actually really love a bath now especially as they suffer from itchy skin sometimes so you might find that Ted is ok. I always have to wrap Molly up afterwards with a hottie as she shivers uncontrollably as she is very skinny and feels the cold.I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
