A Clean Jernee Is a Happy Jernee

Yesterday was Get-Myself-Together-Day, so today consisted of walking/exercising, reading, writing, watching TV, cooking, and interacting with a few friends.

And of course, it was Groom-Jernee-Day today as well.

The Little Monster loves to be clean but doesn’t like the process to achieve said cleanness. However, she has a mommy who is a bit of a neat freak and also rather anal-retentive, so she has to deal with it.

I began her grooming session by giving her a trim. Being that she’s older, her hair doesn’t grow as much as it used to. Trimming her doesn’t take long, but she gets restless, and that tends to throw a kink in things.

We managed to get this part of the grooming done in about twenty-five minutes. I bathed her; washed her twice and made sure all the remnants of soap had been rinsed thoroughly.

And then, I towel and blow-dried her hair, brushing it in between.

When it was all said and done, I took her back outside for a short walk and then brought her back upstairs so she could eat a hearty meal. She’s had a full day. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s clean and happy and is sporting a new haircut, too. All is well!

Have a lovely Monday, everyone. Here’s hoping your weekend was as peaceful and relaxing as ours.

Peace and blessings.
