Eleventh of the Eleventh

A bit of a mixed day. 

Printed photos of my favourite boy for the in-laws, well, my brother's in-laws, oh, you know what I mean! 

Got on schedule with blog posts; cleaned the geocaching mud out of the back of the car; made a chocolate cake - didn't need to do this but the mix is almost out of date!

Considered going out and collecting more mud geocaches but the amount of hair that the Dyson is eating this week meant a Stella-grooming session was a better use of time. 

This takes longer than average as she pretends to be scared of everything so we both burn off a few calories running round the garden until I bribe her with biscuits. It's a well-rehearsed routine these days! 

Hair was furminated, pawnails were trimmed, ears were cleansed, ears were scratched, tummy was tickled, noses were kissed and we were done :) 

As it's her birthday tomorrow, Stella is doing a book giveaway on the blog today. To be honest I wasn't expecting any entries as it's a bit of an odd one but the lady was so nice that wanted us to host it I couldn't say no! So, if you, or anyone you know, is interested in how to make clothes for your dog, do pop along and have a go!
