This week, I’ve been up late meeting deadlines. I have spent a lot of time drawing fascinating technical drawings that explain how to assemble products. Put Slot (A) into Tab (B) and so on and so forth ad nauseum. The client is heading off to a trade show to try and sell a bazillion of these widgets, so I’m doing my part to make it possible for people to put the widgets together.
I just uploaded my last draft, so it is officially time to do something (anything) else. I’m voting for a big doggie hose down. They voted against me, but one human vote outweighs four doggie votes. You might think that all the snow we have would keep those canines sort of clean. They do get wet every time they go galumphing through the snow berms after all. But no. They stink. You can smell Mr. Leto before he arrives next to you. That’s just not good for the office olfactory experience.
I’ve often wondered why some dogs are just plain stinkier than others. Leto the Large is just one stinky dog. Before we got Leto, Tika had the dubious honor of being dubbed "stink dog." My theory is that it’s a retriever thing. They are water dogs, so they have oily fur. That oil collects filth, thus the noxious odor over time.
So, with four retriever variants, you gotta know it’s bath time!
