Just Another Play Day

Zoe just got washed and she is waiting to go home.

She's getting a bit of cuddle time before she heads home.

Daisy can't seem to get enough of the pups. She's been playing and playing with them.

She doesn't mind if there is say 6 but when all 10 come after her, oh boy now where can I go? I think its a natural reaction. Think of 10 humans descending on you from all directions. You may want to hide yourself. heh

The Coops has this grooming business down. He stands in line waiting his turn. What, hey lady you forgot MY treat.

You can't but see a tail of Coopers but had to show you this photo as this trio continues to play and Jeannie's face is priceless.

Zoe is over for the day for a bath so she got to play a bit, eat and bath and home. I think she will sleep tonight.

As you can see Zoe has become rather brown these days. It's the same brown you will see in some of these Spice pups as they mature.

Coops is so tolerant of the Adele. Shhh I think he is smitten.

Grace is still mucking it up and Dennis went to try to catch her. Well you don't play catch me if you can with her. She will win!

All I can say is the weather is better. They killed a duck that we got as a gift from someone - stuffing all ripped out. I tell you. I rather liked that toy and no golden to destroy it. hmmmm now who did the deed - we aren't telling but this one needs super heavy duty toys. Or maybe an Adele. hahahaha

Anne and someone ate Dennis' headphones he placed on the kitchen table but do not worry it wasn't Cooper who ate it. It was one of THOSE days. Tomorrow we have games practicing the command leave it. hahahaha Now to order new headphones. :-(

Good to hear...Funny how Cooper has NEVER destroyed or chewed anything in our house, never even came close, but give him a stuffed toy and the toy could be destroyed in less than a minute.

September 24, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAnne Duncan

Anne: That's funny as Cooper does pulverize the stuffed toys. I think he is a golden. I rather miss Terra pulverizing toys and all.

I heard Dennis mumbling my headphones, I use them every day and he was so upset. It's an unusual for him to go around mumbling under his breath but he does use them daily. He finally said its all my fault. He loves the dogs but it was really the dogs fault. You should be able to place things on a counter without them getting destroyed. Today I am going to teach her 'leave it' as now I have to go buy a pair but managed to find them for cheaper than we originally paid for them. See http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10827&cs_id=1082702&p_id=8582&seq=1&format=2 They are the best headphones and I use them when I groom at times. If you are looking for great wireless bluetooth headphones that sound good but are cheap, these are worth looking at. He tried to get me to get these http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10823&cs_id=1082708&p_id=10245&seq=1&format=2 but I am not biting. He has decided he is keeping them on his neck from now on. The toy destruction is just dogs being dogs. They truly need to make the toys nondestructive. IMHO

The only toys that we have one the floor for him are antlers, Nylabones and his Enzymatic dental chews, which he loves to pieces. Stuffed toys, only for playing retrieve (and my undies). Sorry Coop, but that's the way it is :-)

We echo Anne's comments - Zoe looks marvelous Darlah.
