LAZY SUMMER or JUST NOT GETTING AROUND TO IT

Seems we're just not getting our lists done around here!

Oh to be LAZY, or is that TIRED, or is that OVERWHELMED? - Too much on the lists?

Well, it's hot.  SUMMERTIME.

We've been going through old paperwork to see if there's anything we can throw out and thereby lighten our load.  (We recycle paper.)

We've been bathing and grooming our dog by ourselves.  (You can use DAWN DISH SOAP - the blue original formula with the chick on it - to FLEA BATH your dog.  This is the same detergent used to scrub the oil off wild life that's effected by oil spills so it's safe.  If you want to skip the poisons and collars on your dog, it's advisable to bath you dog every two days - no more than 3.  A flea is born, it leaves poop for another hatching flea to feed on.  There are hundreds of different kinds of fleas.  Some jump three feet.  You don't want them in your carpet.  A flea bite itches.  The itching your dog is doing after a flea bath may be the bite itch.  Expect to see the fleas dead in the water!)

We've been reading some good books.

We've been testing our new medical insurance out by making appointments with new doctors.  (So far we're not happy.)

We've been eating too much.

We've been walking as exercise, even when it's not with the dog.

We've checked out a half dozen stores that we've never been in before looking to see what's MADE IN THE USA!
 

WAHL HAIR CUTTERS FLYING THE FLAG OF THE USA

OK.  We recently purchased the following product:  WHAL COLOR PRO HAIR CUTTING KIT

WHAL STORE  link.

We want to save some money on home hair cuts for our DOG! 

We shopped around a bit.  We went to Petco and they had three electric clippers and lots of scissors for sale. 

We found this one at Walgreens.  It's for people but it worked just fine on our fluffy haired dog, who happens to be the non-shedding sort.  We have nothing against professional hair cuts  for dogs, except the price.  When we explained to various groomers that our dog has poodle hair on her legs, terrier hair on her back and maltese hair on her face we were told the start price was about $40 to $50!  We noticed the American Flag flying and it honestly said that the clipper was made in the USA with some imported parts.  We think the imported parts are the plastic guides.

We checked the Wahl product line on the Internet and some of their clippers are made in the USA and some are made in CHINA.  Check which before you purchase!
