FRAGRANT!

This is not a word I would use to describe the puppies this morning!
For the first time in days, there was poop in the crate when I got up - and it had been there for some time!!
Fortunately the pups had refrained from stepping in, rolling in or eating it and it looked relatively undisturbed. Which is more than can be said for Lily, who must have had an unpleasant night due to the poop being located in her preferred sleeping area ie the newspaper! Obviously the newspaper is intended for such little mishaps, but Lily has decided that this is where she wants to sleep and who am I to argue. Poor little thing must have had a terribly restless night sleeping on the lovely cosy blanket that is located in the bedroom end of the crate!
So, anyway, all the windows are flung open and the whole area has been cleaned with antibacterial wipes and then sprayed with that Oust odour neutraliser. I'm not convinced it works brilliantly but, combined with the two plug in air fresheners that are located close to the  puppies crate, it has to be a little more pleasant in here than it was earlier.
We've pretty much stuck to the usual routine this morning and I even had time to wash my hair before going to the hairdressers later today! 'Why on earth have you washed your hair when you're going to the hairdressers and they'll be washing it as well - and at great expense too?' I hear you say. Well it's a question of pride really. I don't want to rock up to SAKs looking like the bag lady I feel I have become; I want to look as though I have made a BIT of an effort with my appearance, even if they do hold up locks of my hair and gaze at it questioningly as if they're wondering what I could possibly have been doing to get it into such a mess. (You try looking after two puppies who love to nuzzle your hair, then you'd understand why I usually look like a scarecrow!) Anyway, at least they can't do that old trick that hairdressers sometimes use to make you feel really bad - 'Goodness! WHO CUT THIS?' - because I always have my hair cut there, so they KNOW who cut it last - except they will notice that my fringe HAS  had a slight trim since I last went to the salon a month ago and they will sniggeringly say, 'Ha ha - you've been chopping at your fringe again, haven't you Sue!' Okay, I admit it might be on a bit of a slant because it's not easy to cut your own fringe when you're working backwards in the mirror - plus I'm as blind as a bat without my glasses which obviously I have to take off when I do the fringe trim otherwise I would have a fringe that went round the top of my specs! But if I stand with my head slightly tilted to one side, maybe no one will notice the slant!
