Pepper Power's Paw Walk Forecast.

Pepper Power On.

Last Sunday's forecast called for amazingly clear skies, yet we all got soaking wet.  Yes, we are talking the dreaded B-A-T-H!!  Torture, I don't care what those crazy Westies Whitely or Finley in Texas try and tell you.  They are Terriers for cripes sake.  Terra meaning from the earth.  Not Aquarriers meaning from the water.  BOL.

So this is what it looks like after I get out of the B-A-T-H.  It's not pretty and precautions have to be taken to keep the inside of the house getting a good shower as well.  BOL.

Please those of you that are squeamish, you might want to just go eat some kibble or take a PepperPowerPowerNap™.

Rub to the left.

Toss it all about.

I'm looking at you.

ArooooooooooooRoooooooooooRoooooooo.

Outside for some more shaking.

Put all your effort into it.

Shake from the top.

All the way to the bottom.

Scooter approves of my technique.

Make yourself smell like a dog again.

Stop.  Drop.  Roll.

Horrible huh pups!!

PS.  Sorry pups for the lack of any fun over the summer.  We'll try and be better, but know that we do keep up with our pup friends blogs.  Even if Mom is lame and can't muster up the energy to make any comments.  We've all had a stern growling at her and she promises to be better.  We ♥ all of our pup pals and their families.

Today's paw walk forecast called for me leaving a mess on the front doorstep rug that meant it was hauled away to the garbage can.  Guess you can't toss a wool rug into the washing machine, as I've been told many times today.  At least the lamp and floorboard didn't have to be tossed out, they got scrubbed off instead.  Sorry Mom, I'd only been out twice that morning and you were only gone 30 minutes, but I had to explode.  You did get to knock out one of your household chores at 8 am by mopping the house.

Off to take a nap.  It's 68 and "sprinkling" outside.  Who wants to deal with that at mid day?

Today's paw walk forecast calls for a bit of a forced shower.  As in BATH.

Allow me to walk you through the stages of a BATH.

ARGGHHH.  I'm WET!!

 I'm always the last one because I am also the most dramatic one.

Ready.
Set.
Rotate.

Spin Cycle.

Shimmey, Shimmey, Shimmey.

I'll bet you think this is in slow motion huh!

Ready to flip.

Flop.

Vocal Opinion!!!!!!!!

Shake.

Shake your Bootie.

Shake your Bootie.

Shake it like you just don't care.

Shake it.

Then look casual.

Try and walk it off.

Get the "spins" from Zoomies around the yard.

Not sure which way my feet should be.

And then I snuck in the house to the couch and dried off even more.  No time for those pictures though I guess.  BOL.

Pepper Power's Paw Walk Forecast.

Today's paw walk forecast is sunshine, sunshine, sunshine and more sunshine all this week.  Mother Nature "may" be gifting us with 80 degrees here for May Day.  We're trying to convince Mom she should take that day off since rain is scheduled for the weekend, but she says "WORK" is crazy and we'll just have to look out the window like she will have to.

Bit nippy in the mornings falling into the mid 40's for the night, but we get the bedroom window open so it's not that cold out.  Either that or we do a really good job of packing Mom into the bed like an Enchilada, a Burrito, a Manicotti, or as she refers to it, the Mummy tie down.

Mom's been out in the yard doing weird stuff and telling us to get out of areas and not walk here, not pee there.  All we hear anymore is NO BARK, GET OUT OF THE GARDEN, STOP!!  Put that on repeat and tell me who is more annoying for the neighbors to listen to.  At least they understand what Mom is saying.  BOL.

I figured I'd help her dig a hole since she was way over on the other side of the yard.  I didn't need her snoopervising my activities.

Well just look at all those roots I dug under for her.
I kicked a bunch of rocks out into the grass to make it fun for the lawnmower and windows.

The hole has been filled in, but I'm pretty sure if it's going to be in the 80's, I might want to dig to the aquifer to cool off.  You just can't take a fluffy dog from the mid 40's straight to the 80's in 3 days and not expect drastic cooling methods.

Take a look at this pups ~ any of you have these growing in your yards?  I think I need Whitley's help with zombie patrol.

2 parts powdered brains.
1 part slug slime.
1 part fungus-amungus.
Mix well and leave 1 week.

Too keep confined we suggest.
2 parts raised confinement wrapped with charmed copper coil.
1 part chives, garlic, or allium type flower. (planted behind out of  view)
1 part vigilant surveillance.

I think with this warm weather this upcoming week might have to watch things all night long.

Today's paw walk forecast is once again rain off and on for the day.  At least the temperature has warmed up here in the Pacific Northwest above the 30's during the day.  Spring flowers are starting to pop open around the yard.

Raindrops on Rhodies

Ready to pop open.

Raindrops on Azaleas.

Blast of color in the front yard.

All we've been doing is snoopervising Mom walk around in her spotted boots with her green fingers pulling stuff up out of the yard, yelling at us to "get out of the garden", when just last week we could trounce around and privacy please anywhere we chose.  Now there are "boundaries" we are supposed to adhere.  Boo!!

Spotted boots

Green fingers on spotted boots.
Yes, the dog door is really that dirty.

That's the Pepper Power paw walk forecast for the day.
