Wax Job




My sister waxes people for a living. She is talented with a hot pot. People wax their eyebrows, their legs, and lots of other parts you've never even heard of. If you are in need of a wax, check out spruceshoppe.com. (Shameless plug.)

But, have you ever heard of dog getting waxed? Now, this is a good story.

Two of my dear friends in Missoula have a wonderful dog (although, occasionally a few knives short of a silverware drawer) Roosterpotomaus. Roo (as she is known for short) is a yellow lab. She likes long walks and food. Food of any kind. Food from the kitchen. Food from the garbage. Just food.

So... on to the story. Roo's parents were out of town for Thanksgiving, so a good friend, Salty Dog, was babysitting. Salty Dog also a yellow lab of his own and was spending Thanksgiving with friends who have a yellow lab and a golden retriever. (That's a whole lot of blondes.)

Roo was outside while Salty Dog was inside chatting up one (or multiple) females. Rooster, being the foodie she is, smelled the fryer grease where the turkey was deep fried, and she decided to further investigate. Poor little pumpkin got into the grease (we'll call it a sponge bath) and burnt her forehead. When Salty Dog took a breather from the lady hunting he found Rooster with a bit of a modified hairdo. If Roo wanted a wax, she could have just gone to see Sister...

The good news: Roo healed up great. No more scab. Still a beautiful blonde. Just a nice wax job. (And Salty Dog ended up just fine...) Check out Rooster's pic. (We do not have any appropriate pictures of Salty Dog.)

But there is more to the story! In true Bon Lemon fashion, Roosterpotomaus said, "When life gives you lemons... put on something sparkly!" Love the headband.
