Packing

Today was Topaz’s haircut day.  Does she look cold?  I read several articles about shaving down your Golden Retriever.  They say it doesn’t reduce the shedding, the dog just sheds shorter hairs, and it doesn’t make them cooler because the coat was designed to protect them from the sun and heat.  So why do I clip her down?  To make brushing and grooming easier and to conserve water for her daily fresh water bath from our precious watermaker water.  Hopefully she’ll also dry faster and reduce the wet dog smell, she won’t shake as much sea water around the boat, and those long golden retriever hairs won’t stick to everything in the cockpit.

After the haircut, I got busy on packing.  Over the last year I reduced two households of ‘stuff’ down to a few things in the shipment, a few things in the van and a few things in our suitcases.  Each duffle has to be less than 50 lbs, and then we each have a large carry on, plus a back pack. I packed everything except my clothes and everyone’s pillows and blankets, and we are at our weight maximum.  I’ll have to come up with an idea tomorrow.

Tuesday is giving me HIGH anxiety, Roy has it too.  Tonight at dinner he said, “we have to get all this stuff on the plane and what if it’s too heavy, or what if there’s something wrong with Topaz’s papers.”  Yes my son, I have the same thoughts.  I spent the whole day with a stomach ache from the stress.

But it’s nice to know some people don’t have anxiety.
