Trying to Stay Dry

We had a lot of play indoors - some outside but I am not a glutton for punishment. After I got the Coops cleaned up and brushed out I didn't let him fly around the back yard. That's okay as I timed it so he still had his fun before brush out.

I had everyone brushed out by noon. But as you can see I am later than usual with the updates.

Mr. Coops has departed. Keeper is Not departing as his new humans missed a plane. So, he will be departing tomorrow and will need further cleanup again. I need the practice, don't you know. (smile)

Got a lovely tip and flowers from Russell and Anne - deepest appreciation. Coops is always a pleasure to have here and he doesn't even clue into the heats - nice!

Here are a few photos of the crew playing but I will have some on the other blogs too.

Logan's fave chair before his brushout.

Cooper LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the toys.

Princess Fiona happier than ever.

I have more but I am cutting it short today. I am going to Lime it with a tad splash of gin after Brewer departs and maybe watch some TV with Nathan. The son never made it skiing. He has yet to wake up yet so I gather the ski conditions were poor. Such is his life. Dennis on the other hand is up and helping.

Panda is not in heat but we are already playing boys out, girls with Roxie out separate sort of thing. Watch, Panda and Jeannie will come into heat in 3 weeks just because Roxie will be over. Nothing like 6 or 9 weeks of heat. hehe

Cooper got home safe and sound...to about 5 cm of wet snow. Snowballs galore! We had to make a path for him in his yard otherwise he would have been covered in snowballs. He had a great time as always. I have to laugh when Darlah says that Cooper "doesn't clue in" when it comes to heats...... Hope you have a nice anniversary evening! All the best for many more xoxo

Looking at Cooper, I am wondering if Ripley is more Kat's son than I thought. Ripley is an exact copy of the Coop, except he is "faded" where he has the colour. I am wondering if that is the silvering gene kicking in and softening the colours.For some reason, I guess I only thought about that happening with the black and white, but it could happen with other colours too, right Darlah? It's amazing looking at some puppy pictures of Havs and then seeing the adult coat. The changes in colour can be surprising.

Happy Anniversary Nathan & Darlah!
Hope you get some cozy time :)

Cooper is awesome as usual. Bet it's wonderful to snuggle with him!

Anne: wow 5cm

Cooper really doesn't seem to notice the heat. Some neutered boys do and some do not.

Lori: If you listen to Nathan they all sleep with him. Now that he is in the guestroom due to the heat he is busy trying to steal all the dogs - even Risa. We will see what tomorrow brings. I get the very grumpy boys and the girls that can put up with it. When Daisy comes I am sure he will have dibs on her too.
