Nothing quite nitty gritty as cleaning a house filled with pets… But I do so with a warm heart. Except the cat box…. That’s never a pleasant job! Alice had a relaxing start to her day. Between being ushered out for potty breaks, she “helped” me clean the bathroom by sitting under my feet and looking at me inquisitively. All this was preparation for a visit from special friends, Amy and her pit bull Sandy.

It’s important to us that Alice meet as many people, dogs, critters, etc before she goes to a new home!! I invited Amy over to have cookies and chat for a while, she brought Sandy so she could play with Cow and Alice. I also made dog brownies… Which were a HIT to say the least.

Sandy and Alice played like crazy monkeys the ENTIRE time Amy was here… It was only broken up long enough for Sandy to mooch another treat from Amy or myself before she was off again to play.

Later that evening, Alice got her first bath. To be honest, it went pretty well for her first time!

Seeing this photo makes me think of those “For only 13 cents a day” ads. She only tried to escape a couple times, and willingly tolerated being bathed for the rest of the 10 minutes it took to scrub the grime out of her double coat. Don’t let those big brown eyes fool you, she had a bad case of zoomies all over my house when she got out of the tub.
