[Dailydrool] Nudge Visits the Exclusive Spa in Western PA Day #2

[Pat Dill]

To All Droolers,

Well, sometimes vacations are not all they are cracked up to be.  Today the 
dreaded Cleaning Lady arrived.  Now she likes bassets, and she signed up to 
clean knowing that three of them lived here.  But then Sampson joined the 
pack.  Imagine her surprise to find mememe, Nudgie, here as well.  Muttering 
something slightly derogatory about my [very] fluffy fur probably being all 
over the house, she proceeded to spend the day cleaning all around me. 
How's a guy supposed to get his beauty sleep, what with vacuums and wet mops 
and funny smelling pine stuff everywhere?

I must admit, though, that she did tell me I had a cute little face and eyes 
dark as charcoal.  And she pet me very nicely, several times.  (I like 
pets.)  I think my charms won her over in the end.  The other good thing is 
that Patslave was home.  She had chemotherapy yesterday and stayed home from 
work today to recover, so she had time to pet me more than usual, too.

Last night I chose to sleep in the downstairs bedroom with Carolslave and 
all the other bassets (Rosie included).  It was nice to hear the soft 
snoring of so many other hounds.  Breakfast this morning was a lovely 
combination of pasta, red sauce and parmesan cheese.  I turned my basset 
nose up at the scrambled eggs that were initially offered.  Sadie always 
demands breakfast at 4:30 (holidays and weekends included), so I figured if 
a guy like me on vacation has to eat breakfast at 4:30 AM the least they can 
do is serve my favorite.  So they did!!  Very exclusive, this spa.

Carol-slave got out the furminator and did me all over, just like I like. 
And I was outside several times today in the sunshine, smelling country 
smells and eating a little country grass.  I even chewed on a lovely bone I 
found in the toy basket in the livinig room.  The country life is pretty 
good.

Wonder how Cakie and TWB are doing back home?  And I kinda miss the old 
slaves; I think they must surely be missing me, too.
