Spring + Dog = Dog Bath

I decided since I had the day off today, that I would take the dog to the dog park, and then give her a bath, since she needed one anyway. The other part of this story is that it rained yesterday, and gradually turned into snow making today a REALLY muddy, slushy mess outside.
I figured since I had to wash the dog anyway, that the least I could do is let her go to the dog run and play around in the mud. You can see the "water line" of where she was muddy, most of it she shook off on the way home. The bath water was still a very dark shade of brown though.

The best part of giving her a bath, is afterwards when she looks all fluffy, and runs around the house like a kid with a new haircut.

Just another part of spring.

Dishes Are Done Man.


Dishes

The one "modern" appliance I wish that I had is a dishwasher. I would love to be able to rinse my dishes, throw them in the machine, push a button, and wait for them to be clean. There is nothing more tedious than doing dishes day after day. I don't mind the occasional bowl. Or a handful of silverware. But I hate having to do a whole load of dinner dishes.

I'm not sure why "dishwasher" ranks higher in the appliance list over "washer" and "dryer." Maybe because I don't really mind going to the laundromat. All I have to do is put on my headphones so I don't have to hear the mothers yelling for their children (named Destiny, and Lexus - true story) and bring along a book and/or a copy of Harpers and I'm good to go.

Anyway. I really took this picture because of the colors. They're all primary. Pretty.
