My boots are here! I must say, I'm impressed with Zappos.com. I ordered these boots at 10 pm Tuesday night, and I had them at 2 pm Thursday. With no shipping charge! Of course it's way more expensive than a shoe warehouse like SRI, but at a warehouse you have to take what you can get. I've been checking SRI for a couple of years and have never found the boots I wanted.
Anyway, the boots. They are super-comfy, no surprise, and a bit big, which I also expected. I have two pairs of Børn's mary janes: one in my size, which are too big, and one a half-size smaller, which fit perfectly. I thought about ordering the boots a half-size smaller but decided that I'll be wearing socks with them anyway for warmth, so I might as well order the roomier size. They fit perfectly with a pair of thin socks. I'm going to wear them to the station tonight and tomorrow to break them in.
Took the dogs to the kennel this afternoon. We're not leaving until Saturday morning, but the kennel is closed tomorrow. I really like Pet's Companion. Everyone is so nice and professional there. They remembered us on sight, even thought we'd only been once before. They do grooming so I asked them to clip the dogs' nails. I hate doing that and they both really need it.
They had an optional Christmas dinner for the dogs, turkey and rice & other stuff instead of dog food. At first I said no because my dogs never eat people food, and hardly ever get treats anymore except for medicine disguised as treats. But on the way back I changed my mind. One meal a year isn't going to kill them. If the change in diet makes them sick, I won't have to clean it up. Besides, I didn't want them to feel bad because all the other dogs had special food and they just had kibble. It may even be good for them, if it makes them happy about going to the kennel. When we go there, Lina always whines like she's being sold to the glue factory. Maybe she would cut that out if she thought she was going to get fresh turkey. So I called them when I got home and told them to go ahead with the special dinner.
