Woke up at an extremely late hour today as I had a late night yesterday. In fact that was the latest I've slept this semester. Made lunch for myself, before giving the 2 doggies a bath. I finally found their shampoo yesterday! It was really funny how they were silenced and subdued the moment they saw me taking out the shampoo. And boy, were they resistant and hard to handle during the shower.

First was Fluffy, who had to be carried to the toilet. He kept trying to walk around the toilet the whole time and refused to stay still. But he was easy compared to Potter, who tried to make a break for it the moment I opened the grill gate for Fluffy to go back into their den. After repeated threats, Potter finally submitted and came within view. I tried to get him to follow me but he didn't want to come, so I had to half drag and half carry him into the toilet. Like Fluffy, he refused to stay still, but at a faster speed. The worst thing was that he kept flicking himself dry... All over me... Many times. I ended up smelling like "Oatmeal Shampoo for Dogs"...

After drying them, Potter seemed to be unsatisfied at my work, and kept drying himself on his blanket while whining all the time. I confiscated his blanket from him and took it to wash, and it was really, really dirty. I soaked it 3 times and the water turned black all 3 times. And I mean it when I say black. It was disgusting. After the 3rd time I gave up and took it out to sun...

Had to rush to bathe and prepare to go down to Matilda's Bay for a friend's birthday BBQ. It was fun, I'll upload the photos when I get them. the birthday gal got drunk and started saying a lot of weird stuff. Some stuff were happy and nonsensical while the rest was about a recent failed relationship. That was when she started to cry.. Do hope that she gets over it soon..

Went home after that to feed the doggies, and went for my jog. Think I ran further than my usual distance today. This is a good first day of the break. Heh heh heh...
