Too Wet

Well, this morning Nathan headed for the airport to bring Phantom and was that an interesting time. Unions... that's all I am going to say but we already miss the boy but after he flies back in he will be heading home with Paula.

While Nathan was at the airport I was busy making breakfast for the crew. We got up at 6am - a tad earlier than I am used to and not fun.

Usually Kona is jumping like a banshee waiting for his dish. Not today. Here he was while I was getting everything ready - chilling in the tv room.

This is so unlike him that I was starting to worry. To say he is crazy about food is an understatement. So,. I got everything ready and waited till 730 and yep he was back to normal going crazy for the food.

I think 6am was too early for him and for me. We won't talk about Nathan.

Coco and Doozie settled in rather easily and ate up a storm. Usually Coco picks that first night and I don't worry about it but their food disappeared like a vacuum.

Levon came to play for a few hours and he was playing so hard he rested before he went home. He's getting to be pretty amazing about grooming him and cleaning his pads. Way to go. See its not as bad as you thought it was.

Biggie got a thorough brush and comb out. He was looking at me cross-eyed. I need to click his combed out do. Biggie is smitten with guess who...

Well that's it. Nathan is in the tv room with Coco on his lap, Doozie on his arm and Kona on his neck. Biggie is hanging out with guess who - a lady love and Dennis and mostly me. Such a dawg life!

Hope everyone has a fanatastic Valentine's Day tomorrow. I plan to make VDay cookies for the dogs if I can fit it in. We shall see as I have some baths to do.

Happy Valentine's Day to all @ Talemaker.
I'm shocked that Kona stayed in the other room while food preparations where
underway in the kitchen. Maybe he has learned patience or maybe he was mising Nathan.

Phantom sure is a world traveler. I guess he thinks about the girls he is going to meet.

Kathy: I heard Phantom was so excited to get there. Funny, he didn't want to leave this morning but his arrival - well he figured it all out. Such a guy!

Re: Kona snoozing - you can see the kitchen and where the dishes are from that pillow. I think he was tired. I know I was. He is rather fond of Nathan but just now he was jumping all over me in the kitchen playing up a storm. He adores playing.
