Update on the Xena Situation ...

The Xena Beast (aka Bouvier des Flanders) is still in dire need of a haircut and a bath. The weather has moderated a bit, so I have made an appointment at the groomer for next Tuesday. That's St. Patrick's Day, so I know she will have a green kerchief on when her grooming is complete.

She is so overgrown and shaggy that I've completely given up with the brushing I had been so diligent about. (Xena says "whew!")

I tried to get her to pose in front of this stake, but she wasn't about to be told where to sit. I love this stake. It was made by local artist and friend Cindy Shake. I have several of her pieces, but this is the only outdoor one. When Xena first saw this, she said "That fake dog will never catch that fake bone. Poor thing." I agreed. We are of one mind. It's a little scary, isn't it?

Stay tuned -- Xena just told me she wants to contribute to the blog again sometime soon.

I love her! I am so allergic now that even looking can cause a sneeze. LOLOLOL She is adorable and so cuddly.
