Spa Day. Just saying the words conjures up images of pampering and relaxation and the removal of stress. Do you know how long it has been since I have had a spa day? Forever. And I don’t mean that in the metaphorical, “oh it’s been so long since I’ve had a spa day. I’m so overdue!” kind of way. I mean literally forever. I’ve never had a spa day. I’ve had a massage here and there. And I’ve gotten a pedicure once or twice. But that’s about it. And now that my daughter is in full time kindergarten I actually have the time to take a spa day.
But what about my other kids? The four legged ones. Wouldn’t it be fun to take them along on spa day? Instead of a mommy/daughter spa day I could do a mommy/puppy spa day. What would that be like I wonder?
To start off with, I think we could all use a pedicure. Right now the hubby usually does my toenails, and he also trims the dog’s nails too. I think it’s time for a professional to do it. Then it’s time for a manicure. Well for me, the dogs will still be on the pedicure. They do have four paws after all. The main difference here is that while I will be sitting there getting pampered and relaxing, the dogs will be alternating between snapping at and licking whoever is trimming their nails. Well, I shouldn’t say alternating. My good one will be snapping; he doesn’t like getting his nails trimmed. My dopey one will be slobbering and licking someone’s face.
Next up will be the massage. Do dogs get massages? Okay, I will be getting a massage. They will be getting their bellies rubbed. I think that works as the doggy equivalent of a massage. My good boy will be lying there contentedly. My dopey boy will be slobbering and licking someone’s face.
After the massage I think it will be time for lunch. For me a nice watercress salad…sorry, I had to throw that in. That’s what people who have spa days do right? Not so much, a nice double decker sandwich or steak for lunch for me. For the dogs, I think some IAMS Healthy Naturals would be appropriate and it just so happens that there is a right across the street! This is perfect since Walmart is the go-to place for IAMS. I couldn’t have planned it better if I tried. Hmmm, that goes well with a spa right?
Next up, the mud bath! I hear that is relaxing. Maybe I will let the dogs get the mud bath, and I’ll go sit in the sauna. Someone else has to clean them up after the mud bath right? Not me? I have to clean them up after their “mud baths” at home as it is. I think it is someone else’s turn.
Finally it’s time for a facial. Again that is something I have never experienced. I will be sitting there getting cucumbers put on my eyes and exfoliating cream on my face. The dogs will be getting…I’m not sure. What’s the doggy equivalent of a facial? They would eat the cucumbers and lick off the exfoliating cream. Do they even need exfoliating cream? Would peanut butter work instead? I know they like peanut butter.
You know, maybe a mommy/puppy spa day isn’t such a good idea after all. Oh well, now that we are sitting in the parking lot, the least I could do is drive across the street to Walmart and pick up some .
“Felix, did mom mention dinner?”
