A Mellow Brick Road...: Ella’s and Dora’s 1st Trip to the Spa

Mommy awakened, just as I do most days…you, Mr. Buddha, stretched across the back of me, Ms. Allie jammed into my knees, and you, Ms. Bodhi, crying, “Daddy, where are you, I want you Daddy, where are you?” Mommy always says, “Bodhi, Daddy went to work, come crawl in bed with Bubby and Mommy,” but you always go back to sleep in your bed. Mommy could still feel that horribly queasy feeling, the same feeling I’ve been dealing with for at least the past five days!!! Today, however, I had to get up and deal with it. Mommy had made an appointment for Ms. Baby Ella and Dora Kitty to be groomed (at our local neighborhood groomers). Dora has major matting in her underneath coat, and well Ella could just use a good scrubbing. Mommy managed to take a shower and get us all dressed, with minimal bathroom interruptions.

We were then off to the groomers. Afterwards, Mommy stopped to get you both something to eat. Mommy hasn’t ate really anything since Saturday, and well the thought of cooking food makes Mommy want to puke. Mommy got you two situated in the car, listening to music, eating your lunches and then Mommy grudgingly got busy cleaning the cat house out. It smells as though the wild stray male found his way inside and sprayed again, uggggh! Mommy couldn’t have Dora and Ella coming home all clean only to get all smelly from a dirty house. Now, this probably wasn’t the best idea while I have the flu, or since I’m allergic Ella & Dora, however, it had to be done and Mommy got it done (with a few mandatory bathroom breaks). I managed to get all the bedding washed, floors & walls wiped down, and rugs cleaned. You two did some damage to the inside of the car though….should have known since you guys weren’t screaming, though you, Mr. Buddha, were primarily responsible. Mommy opened the car door to find that you, Buddha, decided to have a food fight with yourself, uggggh! You threw your food up against the windows, on the back of the seats, in between you and your sister’s car seats, and all over the floor L Mommy scolded you big time, and then you said, “Ohhh Mommy I did it because I wanted you.” SUCKER!

Our house is a disaster, but our cat house aka Kitty Mansion, is clean. Mommy got you two packed up…thankfully, Daddy dropped by for lunch and entertained the two of you while Mommy packed for work, and packed the two of you for Grandmoo’s house. Mommy dropped you off, and you two were beside yourselves, happy to be with Grandmoo J Mommy gave you both a kiss and gave you each instructions to be good for Grandmoo, Mommy then headed off to work. GiGi agreed to pick Dora Kitty and Baby Ella up from the groomers at 6:30 p.m. when they were due to be finished. The groomer said that Ella was quick and sweet, but Dora has to be given breaks in between her shavings as to not stress her out J I can’t wait to see that Dora Kitty and her new haircut, neither can you, Bodhi. Daddy will pick you up after he gets off from work, so sweet sweet dreams my sweet sweet babes. Love you both to the moon and back.

BTW, I wouldn't normally expose families I work with, with the flu bug, however, the family I’m currently working with is who I caught this bug from, so I’m pretty sure they are immune now.
