Changes

Benji had a bath before he went to his uncles house and I have to tell you I didn't know if I should put his hair up or leave it down. He can see either way but its us humans that can't figure it out.

He flies out with his uncle on Saturday to see his family and have another holiday. Such a lucky guy. I lined combed him every which way in hopes that he lasts till Saturday but I have my doubts. We will wait to hear.

I will tell you everyone misses him but especially Charlie. But that's okay, Charlie needs a rest today and as he has the Cooper coming and he will keep him on his toes for a couple of days.

Got Logan cleaned up and brushed before he headed home. Nathan did Panda. This body is mighty sore so I let him. I will do Panda tomorrow. Although Panda is a show gal and needs her hair taken care of extra hers tends to be wonderful so it is Logan that needs the extra care for now.

Today Nathan was practicing down and twirl and all the commands Carol sent us with Coco. It was a riot and she knows them so well she does them in a crowd.

That's a testament to her mommy Carol, I am sure!

Coco and Doozie are such amazing dogs due to what Carol puts into them. They do dance and several levels of obedience and it shows.

Doozie has found that Abigail and Wasabi is a lot of fun. Unfortunately when she perked up to play with Wasabi today Wasabi said not today. By weeks end I am sure Wasabi will be back playing again. Till then, Coco and Doozie play like sisters as they are both sharing the same dad. They also live with each other so no surprise. Abigail, Spicy, Roxie and Panda play with both so getting tuckered out is a usual.

Till tomorrow...

Cooper is looking forward to playing with Charlie and the rest of the gang. He is also resting now so that he can be in top shape for the rest of the week.....We will so miss him but we know he will have lots of fun while his human parents are unpacking and making his new house ready! Hope you recover from you fall Darlah....not a good thing.

Anne: He will have a great time, not to worry. Just focus on the move - not fun but the end result will be for all 3 of you!

I never doubt that Cooper will have enough energy to play :-)
I swear Benji was Mr. Muggs in another life. I love those bangs!!!

Lori: You know why you like them? He looks like a scruffy dawg!

July 25, 2012 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Benji is a doll! I had to laugh at his bangs b/c I took Laci's hair down yesterday (it stayed in for a record time) and tried a new do w/ 2 tiny clips. After 2 tries, it looked funnier than ever and Laci couldn't figure out why Mommy was laughing uncontrollably. Sooo, decided to leave her alone and her bangs looked exactly like Benji's. I rather like the rough and ready look on the boys, but not so much for the girls. She's back to the old ponytail today and it's nice to see her pretty eyes. :-)

It's so true, Darlah, but the thing is, Scruffs looks scruffy, esp when his bangs are down, but Benji is just so super cute in his own way and he looks neatly groomed even with the bangs. It amazes me how different each of them are, that their personalities shine through so much, even if they do look similar, you can still tell them apart by their personalities.
Debi, Scruffs looks exactly like Benji after his bath.....he just doesn't stay that way for long :)

July 25, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Lori - Interesting how Scruffy's name came about . . . he was meant to be even before you knew it! :-)

July 25, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterDebi

Debi: EXACTLY!!! :)

July 25, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Lori - So what's your next puppy's name going to be? (Careful, that may be a trick question - hint, hint.) :-)

I have mine picked out. (Will have to wait and see if I get to use them.)

July 25, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterDebi

Debi, I have no clue but Roger seems to have a knack for it so I'll let him decide....(that's my trick answer, wink, wink!)

July 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Lori - funny! I have one name for a male and 3 for female right now. I'm big on middle names too and that's what I'm working on - something fun to go with.

Yah, let Roger do the name picking as the dogs seem to love their Mommies! :-)

Maybe Scruffs has some ideas . . . hehehe
