Fun Filled Day

I will start with an endearing slideshow of Monty and Nathan. Some are out of focus as I was clicking so fast I was not paying attention to the focus and I am learning my camera and was in full manual mode. It's about time I play and truly learn the camera. I left the blurry ones in as it tells a story and I am sure you will get that!

Roxie and Kat also went swimming and I did a gallery of that as Roxie jumped in repeatedly. Bravo, Roxie. I tried to get everyone else swimming but no one was interested but these two. I decided it wasn't worth trying to coax them. Maybe they were simply not in the mood. After all they did get brushed and combed this morning and a swim would have meant another brush out. Still, I tried extra hard to convince Steven and My's crew as they go home tomorrow. They will be getting baths tomorrow morning as they are simply too dirty from the weather we have had. If they had swam I just would have shampood them tonight and be done with it. Better to do it tomorrow morning so they look extra clean. :-)

Still we managed to have an event-filled day. Everyone is sniffing up Roxie and she's about had it. We had hoped when she went into the pool it would stop but they are all in love with the gal. Raylan to an even bigger degree. I wish I knew what it was. They used to react to Abigail like this before pups.

Here is Raylan and Monty staring at Roxie. We almost thought she was coming into heat again but she is not. Is this doggie attraction perfume of sorts?

Monty and Mac went squirrel hunting. They didn't full out chase but they watched and followed and had him stuck under the deck for a bit. Then Wasabi went under the deck and chased it out. She can catch squirrels but only grabs their tail and lets them go. It's a curious game that she delights in.

When I had Panda around the pool and tried to get her in she went up on the deck and remained. No pool for me! Maybe if I hadn't brushed them all this morning they may have been willing? There have been days in the past that they do this. They are either in the mood or not. Even Abigail who adores getting wet said NO WAY! Okay - that meant only Kat and Roxie to brush out and dry.

The day can't be complete without a little ipad chillin' that Nathan is famous for.

I believe Scruffy thinks this is the life!

The day is not over but they are all in the tv room cuddled up to Dennis and Nathan. Me, I am typing. I am mulling over if I should wash Mac tonight or wait till morning. I think morning will do. :-)

Today looked like a good day for everyone.

Great pics Darlah. It's not necessary to bathe the boys, you deserve a break from the grooming you do for all the dogs.

It was!

That slide show of Monty was adorable!

I see Scruffy is looking scruffy as ever, but sharing his space with Pepper....good job! We spend the whole day talking about all the things we love about them and how cute they are and how much we miss them. Can't wait to snuggle with them again!
