Mani-pedi Time

All Photos-4310

This dog makes me laugh every day.

Also, if your dog hates having its nails trimmed, a plate smeared with peanut butter is your secret weapon. Pick up each foot, like you’re shoeing a horse, and the dog will be too busy licking up the peanut butter to care. Zero drama makes life better for everyone.

Goodwill Haul

The baby books are for my niece, Hazel.

I also got a super cheap step for Frances. I attached a piece of carpet to the top, and she’s used it about fifty times already today, to get on and off the couch.

Between her crappy knees and the arthritis in her spine, she’s been really reluctant to get on the couch and the bed. I’ve been worrying about how to help her out, so I’m glad she’s willing (and eager!) to use her new step.

Sasser with Tiny Teefs

Sasser with Tiny Teefs #dogs #pitbulls #pitbullterriers #pitbullcomplaints #tinyteefs

Frances hurt her left knee a few days ago. She’s been on bed rest, which is not her favorite thing. Today she sat fairly straight for the first time (no side-saddle, though her knees are akimbo), so I think she’s finally feeling better. Her sasser is functioning at 100%.

In other news, I’m finally (FINALLY!) finished trawling the 1939 Register for Basquills (and all the various permutations). It ended up taking longer than I thought it would, but it filled in a lot of gaps.
