The Daisied One

Have to laugh at Daisy. I get her all bathed and look what she did to her face. I think I brushed her 10 times before Mom came and I only had her done 20 minutes before pickup. I have to learn to say wait a minute - got to brush her - give me a second and that way I am only doing it once more. hahahaha

Daisy has a LOT of hair so she takes a solid 2 hours as I line comb her. Line combing means going section by section and brushing then combing out.

What does she do 2 minutes after placing her in my front hall? Rubbing her face of course cause she can.

Dawgs are Dawgs and I love them for it. I purposely did not place her with anyone as she really would be a mess as she is a huge play monkey and adores the pups. She lets Dusty jump all over her tummy. It's a riot.

Well today we investigated the garden. One wonders if this is it for the snow melting or we will get more snow. We played a fierce game of retrieve and everyone participated. I did a hide the treat game till they got a tad overzealous with that game.

It's only 430 and the dawgs are crashed out yet again - some with Nathan taking a nap and some with Dennis. Hey, where is MY nap?

With the time change and less sleep I could have used it but oh well.

Miss Panda Bear stayed with Dennis last night and woke the house up at 5am. Hoping tonight she adjusts. As she is in heat she has to be separated. Abigail will be done tomorrow so Panda will get to hang out with Treasure. It will be good to have Abigail back in bed with me.

I will be glad when the heats are done - April...where are you. :-) Heats last 3 solid weeks.

Will also be glad when Dennis can sleep at night in the room with Fiona vs. staying up - I figure a few days and he will. Life is always evolving.

Daisy looks beautiful! Knowing her, she was probably wet, covered in mud with half a tree stuck in her coat and a few leaves thrown in for good measure just before the bath. It is amazing to walk that dog and watch her go to the mud puddle, sit down in the center of it and smile at you! Play monkey? More like naughty genius.

Hi Darlah, I laughed out loud at your comment about missing Abigail and her sleeping back in bed with you. I can totally relate. I never got a good night's sleep without my four legged child in bed. :> One liked to adjust the sheets so she could sleep under the covers and the other woulod adjust the pillows just so, to ensure her head was just right on a pillow. If not, they would root the sheets or pillows until they were satisfied. A regular ritual that used to drive my husband crazy!

Daisy is a character. :-) I love her fun nature. It is infectious!

Katherine: I can relate but I don't mind. Just mind the sleeping on my legs so thet can't move as I end up with cramps. The rest - I love it!
