Woke up at 0330 today, not sure why but the fact that two emerald eyes were staring down on my may have had something to do with it. Tried to get back to sleep, but no-joy. So a leisurely cup of coffee, watch the news and started my shave about 0430 today so slow and methodical today. MWF is just awesome plain and simple, and provided a great surface for the wraith today. Perfect DSBBS and all the other characters worked in concert. The Duke Randolph is a perfect match for MWF, soapy and strong. If MWF did an EdP this would be it!

KONA FILES:
As mentioned above, other than his early morning stare down, “El Doggo” kept me company in the early hours of the day, even cast and watched me shave. I think his real idea was to see if I could somehow warm up the backyard to more that 26 degrees, so he could do his business in comfort. Ummm no. He went back to bed until he heard the mixer and up to get his treats, per what has become our norm, a tail wag, a chuff and off to bed again.

Very nice shave today, before more onlsaught of Dr. Apointments for the wreck, CT's PT and the like. Good razor, good product and DSBBS.

THE KONA FILES:
It being Tuesday, it was the overlord stance this morning, and again waking up to Emerald eyes and Teeth staring at me to let him out. Rabbits and the like be warned, he was on his game today. Back in the house for treats and antagonizing the cat. He did leave Mom alone to sleep, which for him, was a good thing. I am looking forward to him being able to join me on errands again, but he is still a bit gun-shy on getting in the car. Who can blame him. I hope this passes soon, Poor Boy.

Early morning dance with the Wraith, and the namesake of where we live. Purely Southwest, the soap, as, and EdT are wonderful. Good DSBBS shave.

KONA FILES:
Windy, cold and dark. All the ingredients for “El Doggo” to stay in bed…. Well, of course, until he heard me making coffee, and knowing the dog treats are near the coffee maker.
“Did you go out?”
“Did you do your perimeter check and constitutional?”
“No?”
So no treats this morning!………

I gave him three “sigh”

Well another early morning shave, very nice is the green fresh is always good. DSBBS with the vector, and cucumber spearmint lemongrass are just perfect

Kona did not even wake up today. I think him and Mom were up surfing the Internet last night. He did finally come up yawn and stretch as I was walking out the door so I had to stop and give him a treat, and so goes on Friday morning.
