There they are in all their beauty...clean and fluffy and defurred. Unfortunately, the old camera is giving up the ghost of a chance of a decent shot. (Ok Kodak cutie, why must you die on me?)

Neither dog likes having his picture taken. They take offense; they feel violated. Beau had to turn his head away because although I commanded him to stay, I never taught him a command that says don't move your head...so each shot is a profile.

Archie just ran to his favorite rug, plopped himself down and took it like a man. Notice their lovely scarves and prettified selves!!

We took them to Murphy's Paw in Stratford Ct. What a great, new place that I wouldn't have known about or traveled to if I hadn't gotten a promotional postcard telling me about the grand opening. I recommend it highly. They did a fabulous job on these guys and the place is adorable too. Well worth the ride.

They managed to get home in good shape as the rain had eased up a bit. Exhausted from their day of beauty, they were content to stay in for the rest of the day. Now the sun is shining and they should be able to go in and out without a total undo or their new do's.

I have a few odd, random things to say.

I think people like Joe Torre because of his extra large schnoz. I think most people are so grateful that they don't have a schnoz like that, they take that gratefulness and turn it into a love for the man.

I think Britney Spears is so sick at this point in her life, I am wondering if she can recover. If there ever was a reason to keep your young daughters at home and away from Hollywood, she's the poster child.

People, both Americans and Iraqis, continue to die in a non winnable war and there's lots of chit chat about how bad it is over there but nothing is done to stop the killing. Thou Shall not Kill is a joke, maybe because in that same set of rules is the old Thou Shall not Covet thy Neighbor's Wife or Goods and we all know coveting is at an all time high.

(my breakfast is served so that's it for now)
