Posted on 13/01/2019 11:57 by TakethedogalongI used to be seriously high maintenance in my younger years, loved clothes and shoes. Thirty plus years of dog ownership and dog walking has overtaken my life now. For all but a few days a year, the odd special occasion, I seem to be in dog proof gear and sensible shoes. So any pampering I get is usually dog proof (eyebrows and eyelashes mainly) even a nail paint barely gets time to dry before some beastie needs attention! π

It’s a relatively new thing in our house JV, we always had Airedale’s, which don’t shed, but need clipping. However, two Labradors, one golden is like living with fur producing aliens! The golden one is like a field of dandelion clocks in a gale. The Dyson can’t cope at times.
Dog number one is nine today. His favourite human is coming to visit for a meal later, along with his second favourite human. Beside himself with joy this morning when trying on his new glowinthedark collar. The wrapping paper was delicious........π

Yes we put hair out for birds ET, they love it. OH was doing interior reupholster on our MG a few years ago, including padded leather tops on doors. We were pondering on what to use as stuffing, until I had a lightbulb moment.........clipped the Airedale’s and the hair made fantastic padding. The little darlings are on every ride out in MG now!

Another lovely sunny day here, though the wind is very cold.
No gardening today as we went to see Mum, shes's doing well and enjoying the 'Memory' book I made her for Christmas.
After Mum's visit we went to the pet shop to stock up on bird food, I get a feeling we are in for some bad weather soon just hope it doesn't arrive on the night/day we have to travel to the airport.
Shoes: I love shoes/boots/sandals but like others on here have to watch what I now wear. Sandals, boots and trainers are my favourites courts shoes not so much these days as they don't have enough sole for comfort high heels are a distant memory

Posted on 13/01/2019 10:45 by Bakers2I've got my eye on bright red patent leather DM's. OH frowned, haven't checked with son π. Colour would be good, saves dyeing my walking boots. Incidently I almost live in them ππ. Fine with jeans or even trousers. We met cousin of DIL2B Boxing Day for a walk, unbeknownst to me he's ex army, he remarked on the shine on my walking boots ππ

I admire that. I'm not that kinda girl, well older lady!
Having been brought up to 'dress proper', my mother took and wore gloves on holiday still in the late 60's early 70's π such lessons cant be unlearned π―. Dress/skirt has to have delicate footwear. I was a tomboy and constantly in trouble ππ.
