Staycation Highlight Reel #2 "Dog Day"

Sadie's idea for our "staycation" was a "dog day."

Her vision for this day was that the dogs would be pampered and spoiled all day!

Her vision came true!

The day started with a looooooooong walk, a snooze in the sun in the backyard and a full pooperscooping of the backyard... Then, we stepped it up a notch and took them to the spa. At the "self serve dog wash" aka Brookside Barkery, they were washed with premier shampoos and conditioners, blown dry, brushed and coiffed, got pedicures, special treats and new collars!

Before...

Seriously- spa day! I don't like this!

Do we look FABULOUS!?

Then we went to the vet for Molly to weigh in at her doggie weight watchers plan. She had lost a full seven 7! pounds (think an entire Chihauhua!) in two and half weeks. We went out for ice cream to celebrate...

Doggie Cone- gone in one gulp.

Then, a quick stop at Animal Control (Dora's home away from home) for new dog licences so we were legal for the dog park. (We checked in on the less fortunate...and said a little doggie prayer that all the homeless friends find homes...)

Then, off"Happy Tails" dog park was a full two hours of romp and play with all the other off leash friends!

Look at that fur! I want to use that conditioner on MY hair!

Agility course? Not now, I am too busy looking fabulous!

Yesterday, Sadie made homemade dog biscuits for Molly, Dora and all the neighborhood dogs. We culminated "dog day" by personally delivering two of the homemade delicacies to each neighbor dog on her bike. (A challenging math problem for Sadie to figure out how many for "Grandma" Cindy who has taken in 6 of her own, plus dogsitting one, plus her mom moved in! 16 treats barely fit in the bag!)

Delivery Girl!

Needless to say, the children and the dogs are all snug in their beds!
