We took Red and Lenore to the groomers this morning – Eileen Quackenbush of Muddy Paws in Shushan. Red and Lenore love going in there. Eileen talks dog and we couldn’t feel easier leaving our dogs with her. I kind of like a day off from dogs every now and then, I  Iike the quiet. Lenore runs the place, she is much loved at Eileen’s and Red, as always is eager please. Won’t you miss him?, Maria said, not without some sarcasm. I have Siri, I said. That quieted her down.
