We up and going early this morning. Keiko San had a 7:30 AM appointment at the groomers this morning -- their first appointment of the day. I peaked in the door. They've got quite a neat set-up for big dogs. The baths are walk-in tubs with doors just like the ads on TV for tubs for old folks. Keiko was quick to come down the little ramp in the back of Sister Sherry's wagon and headed right in without any hesitation.
We left Keiko at the groomers (he was getting all pretty for the Dog Show tomorrow) and took Sherry's rig over to the Ford dealer to get its oil changed and its check-up. While that was being taken care of, Sherry and I walked around the corner for breakfast. When that was done, we picked up the car -- after a short wait -- and then went to the car wash. Like Sherry said, there had been a couple of rain storms and a bit of dust with the windows open and a cleaning was badly needed. It was the sort of car wash with lots of windows so that you could watch the process.
That done we headed for the grocery store to pick up turkey body parts (backs and necks) for the mastiffs. From there to the Carcineria (Mexican Meat Market) to pick up a dozen pig feet. Despite the language barrier -- and help from a young woman who told us the word for pig was puerco -- Sherry was able to get the butcher to saw the feet vertically for the dogs.
By that time, Keiko was finished at the beauty shop. He had had a bath and his whiskers trimmed. He was happy to see Sherry and greatly enjoyed being admired by a woman who saw him walking across the parking lot.
