Lots to Do Today

I had many baths to do for others today. I am exhausted but wow that in-between time watching, playing and enjoying the dawgs - can't get any better.

Also, thank you so much to Julie, Ty's mom for a wonderful chocolate Chip cookie (huge pan sized) shaped in a heart. Oh my gad its tasty. Magic came for the day and thank you for a yum gift. Someone will have to roll me out of the bed when this settles in the tummy. :-) Boy do I need to exercise tomorrow.

We had a number of dogs getting baths and cleanups. Scruffster got a whitening, massage and deep conditioner extra service and I should have taken a photo of him bagged in plastic as I am sure he thought I was nuts but he melted with the massage like a limp noodle.

Here are some photos of the day.

The crew comes in, snuggles in blankets and waits till it is their turn for a brushout. They do this on their own especially Coco and Kona. Coco loves the princess life like our Fiona!

PS: Did you see Kona with Magic - oh my he loves Magic and Pepper. Logan just loves them all. hahahaha

Wow, Kona's really lightening up! I love how he still sticks his tongue out like that.

What beautiful dogs. every last one of them. They all seem sooooo happy. Love the shots of relaxing with the covers. Reminds me of Katie, she too likes to cuddle in the blankets and get tummy rubs.
Darlah a question. Don't know if this is the right place but what do you do when a conditioner says to keep in for 5 or 10 minutes. Is that when you use the bag trick and massage?

Darlah, you topped off my Valentines Day with the pix of Kona.

What was that little girl wispering in his ear? He really looked like he was
listening. The visitors all looked like they were having fun.
I see there is still a lot of snow. Brrrrrrrrrr.

I love all these pictures and I particularly like the one of Nathan with Kona and ?? (sorry, I can't remember the little one's name). Great Valentine shots!

Anne: Kona and Ty - and do you see they are both making faces. Got to love them! Can't believe Kona is going home soon. He's really something else. Snow, water, wet - oh my gad food - puppy play - adult play - he's very comfie but I know he will be glad to see his Mommy!

Steven: He has gold in his face still.

Marilyne: I wrap them after I pull deep condition them. Then I heat it up and then rinse it out. It's a lot of work but love the results. I give them a full body massage before I put them in the tub. This way they relax. It's a spa day thing I do for special occasions. Scruffy literally was like a limp noodle. It was a riot! Nathan says - where is MINE.

Kathy: Kona is liking the pups. Magic and him clicked. Too bad she was only here for a day visit. He rather liked Goldie that was here today but nothing like Magic.
