Mother says summer officially starts on Monday.  It already feels like summer around here.  The mornings are warm, the afternoons have the dark clouds and water falling in buckets from the sky and the visitors are becoming scarce. 
We had a few interesting visitors today -- a Beagle recovering from a sloshy red-syurp filled ear, a Sheltie getting over her skin rash and a Golden Retriever with a red syrup disease, mother called 'leukemia'.  That's the first time I'd heard of a dog getting that, I'd always thought the 'leukemia' was a cat thing.
Sweet Sally and Brawny Brandon filled their time making the place look spotless.  Brandon even got a new loud dirt sucking machine in his very favorite color, purple.   Sally's favorite color is purple too.  I have to take her bark for it, I find that so many colors look the same to me.
My favorite line of the day came from one of the pet parents; they said "My dog has the best personality -- I mean dog-onality, if that's what you call it".  I couldn't agree more -- doggone-nality, it's what make me one of a kind!
