Backyard Entertaining

Posted by om 0 comments



 





I am looking forward to long, lazy days of entertaining friends and family over summer. Drinks on the deck, barbeques in the backyard and lunch on the lawn under the big market umbrella. Everything is casual and relaxed and guests are always happy to pitch in and lend a hand, even when it comes to the pile of dishes at the end of the night! Food always tastes better when shared with friends or is that just the extra glass of wine talking?! When feeding lots of guests I love the idea of a casual buffet set up, everyone helps themselves which means less work for the hostess and everyone's happy!

Dog Grooming on the Move

Posted by om 0 comments
My darling senior Bichon, Casey, has become quite fragile: but she still wants to be pretty! That’s one of the reasons I’ve really gotten to love Aussie Mobile Pet Grooming service. Casey still needs her bath and blow-dry, but with her health somewhat delicate right now, I like keeping her nearby. The Aussie Pet Mobile just pulls up right outside our home, I can see both Casey and Finnigan being bathed and groomed right through the big windows of the van right outside my door. The service is fast and terrific and the kidlets look great and, to my way of thinking and especially right now, it’s an alternative that is far less stressful for them and, in some ways, for me.

For people who have older and special needs dogs, or for people who don’t -- or don’t want to -- drive, Aussie Mobile Pet Grooming is a terrific alternative.
