Cooper is Home

Well it's a dry day - no mud. I still had to wash Spice, Treasure, Kat and Truffie. You should see the room I am grooming in - disaster city. It too will get cleaned but it's one of those rooms you clean it and 15 minutes later after grooming it's a mess. I wish I was one of those people that had a place for each thing and shelfs everywhere and a desire to be poifect. (Yes I spelt that wrong on purpose.)  Yeah right - on what planet.

I pick up this brush, that comb, another brush, this grooming spray and I am doing laundry at the same time and well it's interesting. When I wash, I throw this towel down on the floor to be washed and as towels are dried I fold them halfway and throw it on a pile. Nathan brings a pile of laundry in just because I am there. I used to roll the towels up so they looked nice but as time goes on who has time? I half fold the laundry that Nathan brings in. It never gets done but the desire is there similar to my clothes closet. HA!

I looked at myself today with my hair going every which way in a groming jacket and realized I take care of the dawgs better than me. I have to laugh.

Oh boy and tomorrow I will have Panda and Logan and as a special treat for Linda for Mother's Day Panda will get washed. Logan I do each Friday but Panda's not due till next week. But for Mother's Day I figured it would be nice to send them home smelling grand. Happy Mother's Day to a grand lady. Thnx for loving Panda and the Logie Bear.

I will see who else I have the energy to do.

Phantom returns tomorrow and I have a feeling he will need a bath too. We shall see. We have Jazzy coming to visit this weekend and we get to see Penny a Fiona daughter on Monday.

Oh and Nathan pulled out 90% of the dandelions on the front yard. That means I have to weed. Gee maybe that will be my Mother's Day.

Here are a few photos taken before party boy Cooper went home. I hope you enjoy.

Still, no matter how hard the day is the dawgs just give me a smile. I am not sure what I would do without them. It's not just ours that reside with us but all the pups and all the moms and dads and brothers and sisters and families that love them. That's what will make my Mother's Day special knowing that the dawgs are loved! Thank you all for making this year's Mother's Day special by being just you.

I love your incredible photos of the dogs. They really show the joy of a Havanese. So glad things are winding down a bit for you. Your yard must be amazing with all the effort you and your family (well sometimes) put into it. I can hardly wait to see Kat pool diving. Last year we took Katie to Grand Beach (amazing place in Manitoba). The weather was hot and sunny. She watched the kids playing in the water and decided that laying in the waves was the perfect place to cool off. This year I hope to take her more places and see if she enjoys swimming in deeper water.
