Brie & Colby

We have had a very busy day. Brie and Colby arrived for the weekend.

Roxie went to the show and didn't get any points but expected with just 2 handling classes. Why just 2? Well, we had all that breeding craziness and no air in the car and in the house so it was a tad non conducive to having dogs travel except on a cool night.

Thta's okay. This will be practice for the real thing but still I had to get her ready and that's a lot of work.

Them when Brie and Colby arrived the air guys were just getting ready to go. We had a hole in our furnace about the size of oh a oversized golf ball. So all the freon was disappearing through there as the system is all connected (heater and air conditioner).

After a bill that was several hundreds cheaper if you paid cash ahem but let's put it this way I could of went out and got a new high end DSLR camera for this cost - one I really want - well we now have air. Due to our heater being 25 years old and a builders special our fan that pumps the air out is under par so it will take a solid 24 hours before we feel it. If I go outside and back in it feels comfie inside - not cool - just not sweaty. Upstairs is not faring as well. I guess next big purchase will be a heater. :-( But we do have air.

I did sweat up a storm washing Roxie, Panda and Logan under those lovely dryers but hoping their next weekl wash is in comfort.

We slowly introduced Colby to the crew. He's much better than the first time we saw him and even the 2nd time we saw him and he is NOT sticking to Brie like glue - bravo Colby. He does like Mugs an awful lot and he loves the garden. He really loves Dennis and tolerates my hugs and attentions almost confused on if he should like them or not. I am pleased at how he is doing but determined to get him to like me like he likes Dennis hahahaha. He was a tad shy when we first met him so this weekend will do him a lot of good. It's all positive conditioning.

Brie is a crazy gal excited and yes Wasabi and Abigail remembered her. She flits through the house like she owns it and was highly curious about the pool cleaner and why it made noise when it came up too close to air.

We are going to let them adjust and then take them swimming tomorrow perhaps.

After Logan and Panda go home we are back in the pool with the dawgs outside with us - a tad bit of heaven and who knows maybe some will join us. We shall see.

So happy to here things are going well. I missed them all day. Wasn't worried, just missed them. I can't wait to see how the swimming goes. Thanks, and please give them both a big kiss from Brian and me.

Jane: Will do. Colby had to be coxed on the bed 3 times but that's where he slept and he is now coming to greet me for attention - nice!
