This is my second trip getting Cathy a burger. Hoshi ate hers. He jumped up on the counter and took it. I had just warned her to be careful. This makes the third burger he’s snatched from her. She was hopping mad. I just washed out Hoshi’s kennel so we can put him in there the next time we eat. Well, Hoshi got his treat for the day.

Hoshi is looking very fluffy and neat. I gave him a bath this morning because his stinkiness was a 9 of of 10. He sleeping right now. I trimmed his face, ears, paws, and tail. That tail was getting really long. I’ll put his Frontline on tomorrow.

The pet store where my mom lives has a do-it-yourself dog wash. I’m going to take Beanie there Sunday and wash him up. Also going to have the groomer trim his nails while I’m at it.

I overslept and forgot to pick up Hoshi. I was supposed to call at 2:00 pm to see how he was doing. I went to sleep at noon and set my alarm. I must have slept through it. Cathy who also slept all day wakes me up and says, “where’s Hoshi?” It was 6:07pm by then and they closed at 6:00pm. The office was closed but the 24 hour vet in the same building (no affiliation) said he was there but they were instructed not to release him to me…probably because I hadn’t paid the bill yet.

I had no intentions of having Hoshi sleep there over night. They could have at least called me to make sure I was picking him up. I won’t be able to pick him up till tomorrow when they open at 9:00 am. I’ll have to pick him up after I come home from work.

I dropped Hoshi off 7:40 this morning for his first teeth cleaning. Nothing to eat after midnight but was allowed to have water. I took him for a long walk this morning so he could do his business and get some exercise. Poor guy. I hope they treat him right. He was wet from his walk this morning so I dried him off. I gave him a quick clean up with a hand towel (face and rear). I’ll call around 2:00 pm and see when he’s ready to come home.
