the end of a journey

Tonight we had our last Tuesday night meeting of the girl scout year.  We also finished our second journey.  The last thing we had to do was a community service project.  The girls really wanted to do something to help animals.  They thought about rescuing sea turtles or cleaning oil slick covered birds.  We couldn't find anything on the scope they wanted to do, within our time frame and abilities.  Then we had the great idea of holding a puppywash.  We offered it up to our neighborhood and the girls came prepared with shampoo and towels . We had an awesome time.  We washed 12 dogs (and 7 girls), ate 23 Popsicles, filled up two kiddie pools (twice) and laughed a million times.  We had some great dogs visit us.  My two favs (besides Ziva of course ) were a cute little English Bulldog named Putzy and a Black Russian Terrier named Chaos.

puppy wash fun!

Today was a hot day.  I gave a tour and the kids were pooped before we even began.  Ben, one of our sailors, got very sick from the heat and had to go home.  I felt fine but was sweaty and sticky when we were done.

Being outside all day is turning me brown :)
