I know that you know that we're supposed to be "social distancing" when we go outside (so, for Rozi that means barking loudly and howling from across the street at people instead of getting closer to them and doing this), and so we thought it best to "social distance" from this blog for a while. You can never be too careful!
We've been doing all the things that we're supposed to: not interacting with other people (easy); staying at least six feet away from others when we go out (tough, but possible); wearing masks (not going to happen), and mostly just working from home. We're great at that one. In fact, we've been doing it for our whole lives. And, as we have mentioned from time to time, we spend most of our days working at sleeping, something that we have discovered we can do pretty much anywhere. Our mama told us that sometimes she has to "Zoom" for work and we can do that, too, especially when there's a treat in the kitchen and we're in the living room. So, it's been a tough few weeks, but we're holding up pretty well.
And, now the big news of the day: we went to the beauty parlor today!
Yes, we know that the state is in a 'lock down' and that you're only supposed to go out for special reasons like to go to the grocery store to get us food or to go restaurants to bring us home food or go other places in which "bring food home for us" is the goal. All of these are "essential" services. According to us.
But, what about the puppy beauty parlor, you ask. Is that "essential". Well, of course, it is! We were both having a medical problem called "ragamuffin disease". When you have this, you look more like a Muppet than a puppy:
And, so after our mama got in touch with the "doctors" and the "clinic" to make us an appointment, off we went. We've talked a lot about how much we like the people there, and today it was even nicer since it was the first time in a very long time that we were inside a place that was not our home. We had the most wonderful time and our friends there were very attentive to us; in fact, we were the only two puppies in the place! Our mama dropped us off in the morning and then came to get us right when we were home so we only had a short time away from home. But, even though it was a short trip out, look at what happened:
Yes, we look great now and even though there's no way to tell from these pictures, we smell good, too! Who knew that we were still white!
And, to celebrate, our mama took us out for a walk, and Rozi made a new friend. We don't know why she didn't want to pet us...maybe it was that she was holding that little baby? Anyway, it was good to get off and promenade down the boulevard (okay, it was really "walk down the street" but let us have this little fantasy on our day of beauty).
Now that we're home and have had a full day, we're going to go back to our social distancing, mostly between each other. We're glad to get all pretty and clean and now we're ready for the warm weather!
But, where is it?
Arf, Yip, Yip, Arf,
Izzi & Rozi
