Washa Washa

Roxie is washed. Got Logan, Panda and Kat to do as soon as I finish typing. I am posting a photo of Roxie as she won't look this way tomorrow.

Yes, the picnic is on rain or shine but we are arriving at 10am for setup so I expect my dogs to look like ragamuffins by the time everyone comes.

So, why am I washing?

Logan Just Washed After a DrinkWell, haven't figured out that one as they will surely need baths on Sunday. hahahaha

Sparky arrived and is smitten with Roxie. He is doing really well enjoying the other dogs.

Photos of the other washed dogs later cause as I said this is the cleanest you will see them.

That's okay, they will have a grand time.

Here you will see Logan just washed and after a drink so he can wet his face don't ya know. Dawgs....

Risa and Abigail was washed yesterday. They will get brushed at 6am tomorrow as we leave no later than 8am tomorrow.

Darlah, if it rains, won't your hard work all be for not? I'll be the first to admit I'm crazy, but so are you :) J

Lori - We doggie lovers are all crazy, but crazy in love!

Darlah - No wonder you're showing them off on the blogs. Roxie certainly is beautiful!

Oh and Lori! So Scruffy likes older women? I thought you were saving him for Laci - then again - I guess they have to see one another. At least w/ our 2, neither will have parts, so it will be a sort of platonic relationship. :-)

Happy to hear it didn't rain much in Brighton - was concerned for you all. I do hope for a successful and fun day for all! Will be looking forward to video and pics!

Debi, Scruffs likes any dog that will spar with him :) I think he finds the ones who give him the paw to be particularly intriguing. If I know Laci, he will be head over heels for her. LOL

Hey Lori --- boys will be boys for sure! Scruffy is still too young to settle down with someone ... if he is smart he will pick Ms Laci!!! :) I must say however that Roxie is a cutie as well ... poor Scruffy, what to do, what to do..... LOL!

Darlah ....hope you have a successful picnic ... due to prior commitments I can't attend but like Debi I will be looking forward to seeing pics of all attendees both human and canine! Hope the sun shines down on everyone ....

We will miss you Angie!

August 10, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLori

sigh - yes we will miss you. Just finished grooming and now I am packing all the stuff I have to bring. Shoot me, will you and Nathan is doing the magazine. Up at 6am to brush, feed and get on the road at 8am. Tried to find clothes to wear and I said I am wearing my dog clothes - the hey with that. So if it does get wet I don't care!

We so hope the weather holds out for the Havanese Picnic tomorrow, and we look forward to see the photos and videos. We wish we could be there but it is just too far too travel from our West Coast of Ontario, so we are hoping for a good beach day to enjoy and think of you all having a great time.

As always I check the posts every night and love seeing the updates and the pup updates, wow they are so cute and growing.

Breeze and Chinook send their love to all their Talemaker families, and we as their parents are just so lucky to have them in our lives.

Oh Shelley you and Al and your duo will be missed in a big way but enjoy that beach of yours. Yvonne says rain or shine and they haven't had rain yet. :-)
