Someone Gets His Ears Lowered, The Foothills, Missed Pictures from Yesterday

Pilot Knob RV Resort, Winterhaven, CA Thursday, Dec. 30th after the first rituals of the day were taken care of, we loaded the empty water bottles into the truck. It was 10 when we left the park and headed into the Foothills of Yuma. We’re glad we left when we did, the traffic was quite busy and our little guy had an appointment at 11 am at Southwest Exchange/RV Superstore in Pooch Parlor.

This morning's sky.

I like how the sun slowly pours across the landscape, bit by bit. His last grooming was Oct. 15th and he is a shaggy little furball right now, having missed his regular 2 month cut. This place was booked up solid when we called on Dec. 8th but we’re happy we were able to get him in this month. He didn’t want to leave his Daddy but after she took his leash off, he paraded off into the bowels of the parlor. 😊 We weren’t expecting it to take 3 hours but it is what it is.

Pooch Parlor. So, we had some time to kill. We aren’t anywhere near the downtown Yuma that we frequent so first wandered through Southwest Exchange which in itself is a very ‘fun’ store to peruse. I found these adorable salt and pepper shakers and they, with the little oil and vinegar holder, will replace our tired old Tupperware ones that have with us for years. ♥

Pepper Salt & pepper shakers. From there, we drove to the closest Sally Beauty Supply store for the men’s cologne that Bill is most fond of only to find they were out of stock. We were hungry but with cash on a tight purse string at the end of the month, we feasted at a fast food joint. Wendy’s is usually a go-to for us and the Bacon Cheddar burger was great.

Lunch was great. Lastly, we drove to Wally World along the highway. All stores within the same general vicinity.

A couple of funky cars at Wally World's entrance. The yellow one is for sale. Then we headed back, a bit early, to pick up our baby. He looked adorable when we walked in to pay the tab. Oh my, he’s like a brand new puppy! We love the fluffy, pooch he’s become with long or short hair but I’m sure he will be feeling a whole lot better in the heat we are about to experience. 😉 Let’s go home!

Our brand new puppy.

It was 3 when we returned, after filling our 3 water bottles for the ridiculous low price of 5 gals for .50¢. We knew we wouldn’t be hungry for a normal supper and we also knew we were all worn out. Snoozes were in order and it didn’t take me (us) long to drop off for a while. When I got up, I had a cup of tea and we decided on soup for supper. Opening a can is all it took and that was just enough.

Hey! that's a great price for my water, Dad!

Mushroom soup with crackers and cheese for supper. This was a great day; one I was actually nervous about. Worrying about how Gibbs will behave at the groomers is no small feat, explaining the latest small batch of shingles. Serves me right, I should have known he’d be fine with the experienced staff. 😊

These pictures are from yesterday's Happy Hour. Bill watches to see how Gibbs and Yuma react with each other.

A few more pictures of the star of the day. Good night! I hope you have had a good day too. Thank you for popping by.
