Rain, Rain Go Away
Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 4:36PM We have been going out in-between rainstorms. It's been interesting. Rens sells something that you can spray on feet that is supposed to quicken the drying and is supposedly good for the hair. I am going to try it. I tried to get Nathan to order it from Rens for me but even though he put in an order he didn't. If he needed to use it we would have it fast. hahahahahaha Oh well, he saves us money and wastes my time?
Here are a few photos from today's playing and I have a ton but no time for a gallery and well I can only put up so many photos - sorry.
We are practicing 'recall' with Chase. Fun name as she does love a good chase but we are trying to get her to come and we will not chase. Sometimes she comes for a treat and sometimes she find outdoors way too much fun but we persist and hope to make big headway when her parents come. If I recall Jeannie, she comes running and then guess who does too? But I can't send Jeannie home with them. Recall is so important and sometimes the most difficult to teach especially for the free spirited - that looks better than you type of a dog and we have a few of those so creativity has to be explored. We are having fun with this challenge.
Jeannie and Chase and notice who is chasing who and Chase is loving it!
Nathan was trying to get a photo of the dogs from a low level but they weren't cooperating.
As you can see we still have a fair bit of snow and ice despite the rain. I suspect it will all be gone soon.
Shoshi is enjoying the last moments of the season by rolling in the snow.
Jazzy seems to have lost weight and is playing up a storm. As usual he enjoys outside the most rain or shine. heh He had to have two rinses today as he was so black and his mom and dad like him to be clean - don't we all? :-) Give Jazzy a mud pile and well he loves to lay in it.
Logan and Chase are practicing the Logan/Kat routine of let's smell up the yard. heh As things melt...
Logan loves everyone and he just mucks it up with Mia quite a bit. It's a riot! She challenges him and then they go at it in full play. Mia is off to Arizona with Nathan this next weekend as he told her Mom and Dad he would bring her out to them. He's only going for overnight so it's a fast trip (Fri-Sunday). Hope he enjoys the flight and sun. It beats our weather.
By the way, I brushed all the dogs before this photo shoot. I am not sure they look like I did - they certainly don't look like it now after going out in the rain.
Truffies head hair is finally starting to grow after being Logan-cized. I call this strike a pose with dirt. Got to love dogs - well I do - such spirit!
Ice is starting to go.
Always play and cleanup to do.
It's been fun but the day is hardly over.
Tomorrow we will be clicking Oscar. This was before the big rain hit.

Thank you so much for working with Chase. She does have a very fitting name as we have realized. We can tell she is having a real adventure with you.
Wow, you have quite a bit of snow & ice left. Not good for keeping feet clean.
The dogs all looked like they were having fun chasing, running and rolling
around.
Kathy: It's been well interesting and yes they love to roll and play. I can't believe the ice and snow left. Do you think my yard was transported to Siberia?
Wow, we can't believe the snow you still have and the rain you got. We thought we were to get rain this weekend but none came, and we have no snow and are so glad, but supposed to rain all week and be colder again....Yuk!
We were at the cottage and the lake has thawed out and there was actually open lake out for a bit, and both of our crazy duo had to go in....they were so excited, and we wished we would have taken the camera.. It must have been freezing, and we tried to call them out, but Chinook wanted to try to catch a seagull on a piece of ice, and Breeze was even wading out....and then they just ran and ran on the beach and had fun, and then we went up and I wrapped them both in towels and brushed out the sand.
Fun to see all the updates, and dear Risa too!
Thank you Darlah! We just touched down and all I could think about was checking in. What a fun day for the dogs.
