KER--PLUNK,

There is an evil spirit lurking in the backyard of the Mortensen's in Fayetteville,Georgia. As most of you know, I am the proud owner of a chocolate and white cocker spaniel. Her nick name is "Miss McNasty". She is a magnet for any thing smelley, wet,rotten or dirty. I have pick her up from the groomers only to come home and have her:
1. roll in red mud (during backyard revonattion)
2. slide in a big pile of fresh Katie poop (chasing ball)
3. run across the street and play in the neighbors sprinkler.
Keep in mind that all of this has happened after coming home from the groomers all clean, dryed, brushed, fluffy, smelling good and I have spent 45.00 to get her this way. Hence the name "Miss McNasty.
Now we have a mobile groomer. This is a great thing but it cost more money. The little princess pictured above is Marlee's Molly. This little sweet heart hates to be outside. She has always lived in an apartment and only goes out to use the bathroom. Last Wednesday, after the groomer left our house, she decided to come outside and join the fun. I was standing by the pool throwing the ball for Dixie and Katie. I heard the "KER-PLUNK" sound of something heavy falling in the pool. You guessed it, Molly fell in! How? I do not know. This nice, clean, fluffy dog was soaking wet. There goes $50.00. All of Molly's fluffy hair was now wet and would be curlie when she dried. Oh well, she was still happy but happier in the house.
