Had a brilliant idea to bathe the dogs in the deep downstairs kitchen sink

[conuly]

rather than the bathtub. OMG that is going to save my back AND the deep sink is just deep enough that I can get their heads under the faucet for rinsing.

And now the doggies smell all clean.

I had seen the Spiderman vid on the climbing reddit yesterday. Climbers were all in awe of the way the guy virtually sprinted up those balconies. Climbers know what an amazing thing that was.

So I am very, very pleased to see how he is being rewarded. I'm going to stop reading the news there. I need good news today.

Our black poodle got a bath last Thursday when I was in Las Cruces, the white poodle is up next. The blue tick hound is going to get a wash cloth. The white pood has been filthy for a while, they all came back with a couple of extra levels of grime from the kennel while we were in Colorado last weekend.

The privacy and legal concerns are the main reason I've been avoiding most smart appliances. Besides, I don't really need a refrigerator that documents my eating habits for me.

One of the things I found useful years ago was a rubber-end spray nozzle, just like the handheld sprayers you can install in your shower, but the rubber end meant you could stick it on/over your sink faucet. Then hosing the dog down was so much easier, because you could wash and rinse the undercarriage. It saved a ton of water and time.

I love dogs, could you post a couple of pics?

[conuly]

I probably could, but I really won't. Taking pictures on my phone is a crapshoot at best, so this means doing it on somebody else's phone and waiting for them to upload it. A real hassle.

[conuly]

That's on my shopping list right now.

Seriously.

Wise choice!

Hope they enjoy it.

I read the first article. Carl Zimmer often write aboabintrestinguta intresting things. I mean I haven't read that much of his writings but I like what I have read.

[conuly]

What happened to your comment!?

[archangelbeth]

Looks like a phone "screeboard," and AutoCorrupt didn't even try. Translated: "writes about interesting"

[oakfarm]

I have no idea. Lets try again.

I just said that I like Carl Zimmer. Bur I have not read that much by him.

[oakfarm]

I guess I should be ashamed over being so sloppy when writing comments.

[archangelbeth]

Consider, however, that I translated it with the ease of long experience... >_>

[Edit: Or, in other words, I see nothing to be ashamed of, as it's something that has been known to happen to me, too. Writing/typing on teeny screens is hard.)
