Sunning & Impending Washes

Today we sunned. What does that mean? I pulled a few weeds (they really are growing all around me as I type) and the dawgs rolled and enjoyed the sun not doing much. I think this was their timeout day at their request.

We had no visitors in the afternoon so after I weeded, I read a magazine and snuggled with the crew outside.

Tomorrow I start a marathon and just wash and wash and wash as many as I can. They all need baths but let's see how much energy I have to do many washes. It's the arm that gives out as I brush as I dry to achieve a nice coat and most just dry and brush later. It's easier but the coat comes out better brushing throughout the drying process. Issue is my arm starts tingling and says - what the hey are YOU doing. But it needs to get done.

The only ones I won't do are the mothers as I do not want to keep them away from their pups. In another week, I will be washing Treasure and a week after that I wil be washing Fiona.

Then on Saturday Daisy comes back for a visit and that's going to be fun. Raylan will say, I have my play buddy back and celebrate.

Great picture of Risa enjoying the nice weather!

Thanks! She needs a bath as they all do but she sure enjoys that sun. I can't blame her. How is Breeze doing? Is she a sun gal? Raylan get a bath today. He's first!

Breeze is doing just great, and she is definitely an outside gal, sun and shade, beach or yard. We hope Raylan enjoyed his bath today, Breeze had a bath on Tuesday and is doing pretty well with the process. Keeping up the grooming everyday and catching the mats help. We give you a lot of credit though grooming and bathing so many dogs!

Super washing human and what did Nathan say - they don't feel as good as usual. My limit is 8 dogs but I need someone playing with the dogs etc to do that. I washed, I took them out, I washed, I took them out etc etc. I must have been tired as I had wonderful shots of Risa playing after her bath and I formatted the card by accident. We just got back from walks and I watched Raylan with Nathan bouncing all over the place. He has much work to get him to walk properly in the ring. ROFL

Sounds like Breeze is doing well. I am ever so glad. I do miss the gal!
