What Happened To My Tomboy?

my little tomboy boomer had a life changing experience yesterday.

i have been thinking her claws needed trimming. i did it

once when she was a little puppy &

didn't like the results. so, i never tried again.

yesterday, my sister dropped her dog (herein after referred to as "maggie" or "my sister's puppy)

by the groomer.

i asked if she knew how much they would charge to trim boomer's nails.

she called & they told her they would trim her nails for free.

(slow day & she just wanted to keep busy)

i told my husband, we can't do that to the groomer.

so, i called & asked how much she would charge to give

boomer a bath. i also explained that boomer had never

been to the groomer.

to make a long story short, boomer went to the groomer for the

first time.

she loved it - felt like a princess! the groomer said she was very good &

even held her paws up for the nail clipping.

when we picked her up, she was smiling & wearing a purple bandana & had purple bows

in her fur! her fur is shiney & smells sooo good!

& maggie - she was happy to see her aunt & uncle at the groomer's place too.

maggie doesn't really care for her younger cousin boomer. you see, boomer is

a border collie & maggie is a pomeranian & one time when maggie

came to see us, boomer walked up to maggie & maggie

jumped into the pool!

Heading for Band Practice

Youngest son was loading up his car for band practice. The amp weighs about 60 pounds, so big brother was holding the front door open so younger brother could get out with the amp. Boomer decides to make a run for the front door and jumps into younger brother's car, ready to go to band practice.Boomer decides the car is too hot and decides not to go to band practice and heads back to the front door and air conditioning!

SILLY BOOMER!

The Audition

Our youngest son has been taking guitar lessons for 6 years. For his birthday he wanted a new amp. With his birthday money and his hard earned money from his job, he bought his new amp. I don't know if he is wanting to start a "band", but he already had someone audition, just in case he does decide to start a band. Please listen and decide if this singer has the right stuff to be lead. I think she will work.

Actually, he is in a youth church band.

What you are seeing in the background is all the furnishing from the playroom pushed in the corner. When we had our bathroom flood, the carpet in the playroom was soaked and the restoration company pulled out the pad so the carpet would dry. To get the carpet restretched, all the furniture had to be pushed into that corner. You see the air hockey table upside down and on top of the pool table. This is only part of the house that is not back the way it was before the accident. The pool table takes about 6 people to move.

Saving Duckie

Several days ago, we were having Tornado Warnings in our area. The TV weathermen were seeing rotation just a few miles from our house. I decided that I should put few things in our little bathroom just in case we needed to hide from the weather. I put in our shoes and my purse and brought a few pillows close by. After getting these things together, I turned and looked at Boomer and there she was standing very quiet like with her tail hanging down holding Duckie (her favorite stuffed animal). She was taking Duckie with her to hide in the bathroom.

The storms left and we did not have any damage and Duckie was safe.

Additional Pictures

Yesterday afternoon, my kitty was sunning in the west window. She must have gotten too warm and had to stretch out to cool off on the wood floor. She was giving us the long kitty look.

While trying to get pictures of the Scripture cards, I had a little helper. Look at that nose.

Our Woofing Puppy

This looks strange with her eye glowing. But isn't she a cutie! We think so.
We were celebrating her 4th birthday here. Like her present? It is a purple monkey. She loves toys.
