Major Accomplishment

I managed to give Reece a bath last night all by myself.

It's no small feat, considering that she's a very energetic and squirmy 40 pound puppy (I'm guesstimating) and I'm a rather small person with a chronically sore back and stiff and sore shoulders and neck.

Of course, I may not be able to manage so well in the next few months as she gets bigger.

I came out of the bathroom soaked from head to toe. Reece came out soaked from head to toe. The tub was filled with fur. The bathroom floor was full of puddles.

But it's done. And she no longer stinks (she peed on the floor at day camp the other day and rolled in it).

A Visit From the Tooth Fairy

When I picked up Reece today from doggie day camp, I got a little surprise.

One of her baby teeth in a ziploc bag.

And here I thought she was finished with her teething. All her adult teeth have come in up front, at least. She doesn't have the need to chew nearly as much and she doesn't bite nearly as much as she did. Although Lance noticed blood on her chew toys as recently as last week.

I guess tomorrow is a birthday party for one of the other day campers. There will be specialty cake (dog friendly, I assume) and favors. I suppose Reece will get to participate in that.
