A big day!

It has been a big day for the Thompsons!  Adel had her first grooming experience today.  For those of you who are familiar with her vet appointment, you could see how we may be nervous to take her ANYWHERE.  Well we found her a groomer that was super sweet and great with shy dogs.  Adel had a bath, her toenails clipped and was furminated.  She didn't even snap at Deena!  Woo Hoo, big victory!  Deena said that she came close and that she wouldn't feel comfortable cutting her for another couple of months, but at least it's progress, and she smells so good now!

Adel then met her new vet.  We walked down from Lexidog (where she was groomed) and met a vet that Deena recommended.  We walked around the place, met everyone, and she took some treats from the staff.  She had a big walk in the city and a bit of a "get spoiled" day.  

As for the humans of the family, we are now very spoiled because we leased an AIR CONDITIONER!  Most apartments here don't have air conditioning, and in summers past fans have worked just fine, as the weather is not usually very hot.  Well leave it to us to move to Portland when it's 98 degrees and burning up.  We were miserable staying at home and low and behold as I was dropping off my mail this morning I saw a sign that said the apts were leasing air conditioners.  We scored and had the last one available installed in #507!  

This weekend we are planning on attending the Portland Brewers Festival.  All of the local breweries are coming to the waterfront to let us sample.  Mmm Mmm!  Pics to come!
