Hot Day

Levon went into the pool today but every time I tried to click I was getting an err 001 and was very frustrated. I think its a connection issue so I came back inside after all was said and done and got Nathan's camera too late to catch Levon swimming but he was deliciously enjoying the cool and air drying after a brushing. Now to comb him up again seeing he is dry. That's what we do. We brush and comb while wet. If it is very hot you let them air dry. When dry again you brush again. Sounds like a lot of work but its easier than turning the dryers on and drying them and cooler for you and the dog to let then air dry.

Why am I frustrated that I missed my moment with Levon? Well, he jumped off of the pool stairs. Will he do it again? Time will tell. We have a storm coming in and it won't be tonight.

Cooper and Levon are best buds. Levon is such a happy go lucky guy and he always loves to see you, play with you and he just loves the other dogs. He will go from one to the other till he is totally exhausted and he is at the moment.

We have our grandkids over and our daughter as Nathan, our daughter and the kids will be heading to Ottawa tomorrow on Nathan's bday. He has a family affair and I am needing to stay with the dogs. So we get up at 4am so he can drive in and drive home tomorrow night. Oh boy.

Our grandkids were so delightful with the dogs. They even managed to get Hugo who thinks they shoot the moon to jump into the pool like Kat. He's never done it like this and he did it with them over and over again.

When we had the pups out today Logan was enamoured with the pups. Oh my gad is he so good with the little ones. Panda was highly curious but Abigail kept giving both Logan and Panda the evil eye to say don't hurt my pups. They are still young and moms at this stage do not trust that their pups won't get hurt. I respect that. It's all body language. Its not in the Miss Abs to do anything else but its interesting. It is not till they are very mobile running that moms relax.

I wish I had a slew of photos to post but I don't. We had a ton if fun but with company it didn't happen. Life was very busy but fun and we had a lot of help playing with the dogs. I just wish I had captured it all but today instead of sitting behind that camera doing so I simply just participated. Sometimes you have to do that too!

Happy Birthday Nathan. Have a safe drive back and forth to Ottawa. I'm glad you could spend some family time yesterday. Grandchildren grow up so fast you don't want to miss a moment

He does own the place - hahahahaha Think he is very comfortable and we are hoping its warm enough to get him in the pool again tomorrow after visitors depart. Fiona pups are coming. But they say rain - sigh We shall see.
