Charlie: Wasabi's Baby

This is a recent photo of Charlie who lives in Quebec. I am so glad they sent a photo as I have been thinking about him and suddenly it shows up in Nathan's box. Funny how that happened. I am glad!

So why have the blogs been short and the galleries less? It's holiday season and we get busy during this time. We are slowly getting back to normal - a few more days.

No matter how crazy - I love, love, love the dogs. It's what gets me by. I can look like the bed head photo (human form) and I still manage to get smiles when I see what the dawgs do. They are magic for me - hard to explain but as much work and as tired as I get they also do something special to me. But there are times I also need 'me' time. There are times I don't know what that is.

My birthday is March 24th - long time off and I figured I would have a special day but Nathan is doing a judging seminar that day showing the judges the faults and attributes of dogs so they can judge them properly and guess who is supposed to groom these dogs for this event? I feel a flu coming on that day.

Now we shall see if Nathan ever reads these blogs. hahahahahahaha

PS: We are also dealing with a heat (Fiona) and have decided to breed her to Phantom for one last time to try to get a female Truffie. What a wild possibility but still possible.

So I am losing my mind with Truffie and Kat acting like fools whining and well its awful. If Lori and Irma thought it was bad the other night - it must be prime as we are into a new level of craziness. It's over in 9 more days.... oh I want to fast forward but then again I don't as the Treasure pups will start to leave. Can't bleepin win sometimes - I tell ya. Yes, I am happy for their journey - just always miss the little ones.

Hey Darlah! I have a bright idea! My birthday is on March 30th sooooooooooooo...............what if sometime around the end of March/beginning of April I come pick you up and we go somewhere for a spa day! Then have dinner! The only way for you to have down time (I think) is to take you away! LOL Think about it.

Irma: Now that is nice of you to think of me. Nathan hasn't said a word so do you think he read my post? It was a test. :-)

January 6, 2013 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I think he is going to FLUNK the test! LOL

Irma: He did flunk and it is true that I need to wash dogs so Nathan can do a judges seminar on my birthday. That part was true.He didn't select the date but he also didn't say the 24th doesn't work for me.

<sigh> What do we have to do to knock it into their heads that we MUST have our ME days! Especially our Birthdays-we need that day to be special! One day out of the whole year and he has a seminar!
