1 CPR Class + 4 Chinooks

Normally when we have guests, I can straighten, dust and vacuum. But today's guests would be on hands and knees on the floor within sight of bunnies under furniture. A more thorough fur-from-surface removal was necessary. With four dogs, any cleaning efforts done yesterday would have been fruitless. This morning I rushed around vacuum and dust cloth in hand, peering under everything at 3" above the floor eye level. The dogs thought this was great fun. My hands might have been busy but my face was at kiss height.
At 1 o'clock National Ski Patrollers and the Jr. Ski Patrol needing CPR certification came to our house for a class. Dog heaven: 13 sets of idle hands to give ear scratches.

When Dave began CPR on baby Anne, Koyuk thought he had a new toy for her. Baby Anne's whistling and arm wiggling with each compression was just too much to ignore. "obviously these kids are on the floor for kisses""Is he really dead? Sure looks dead.""don't hurt my baby""do I get to play with her after you are done?"

Everyone went home souvenir furry knees but a couple hours spent with four loving Chinooks made it worth it.
