No Rest for the Weary

We are still doing but I am crashing. Last night with Truffie was better but still up half the night. I must get sleep tonight as tomorrow I have Muntuno, Buddy and Adele to get ready for a show and Holly as she departs. If I laid down I would be snoring. One can only have so many nights without sleeping the night, I am afraid. Oh well, it is what it is. Nathan tells me he is just as tired though he was with the rest snoozing. I was in caretaker mode.

It's a cold day so mud is not there - hooray!

Jesse runs his fool head off. Exercise is not an issue with him. You need to say - its rest time and watch tv so he goes into chill mode.

Each night I clean around eyes, check bums and ears. Its a habit I got into as it helps me know what is going on. Each time I groom I check pads, private areas etc. You do it without thinking. Baths you look at the hair, the skin etc. With winter coming hair between pads should be kept trimmed and don't forget the nails.

How did that happen? Spice went from not being able to have a ponytail due to her pups chewing on her to now always having one. Hair eventually grows if the chewing stops.

This dup departed. Next time he comes I promise photos of Levon playin cause he does.

Levon says and you want what, Jesse? Yeah, its me. Dogs smell each other to know who they are and their emotional state. It's amazing what they can learn from smell.

So, where's the water. Miss Roxie's hair is going darker winter colour. Sables do that their whole life.

Yes, Jesse has a voice. We are trying to curb that.

Penny wasn't sure about Jesse. She wanted to create a huge barrier around her or tell him he may die if he comes closer and then he did come closer and nothing happened and now they hang out. Go figure. The size of Jesse no matter how gentle he is gets them to wonder what the hey is that and what is his intentions. Then they realize his intentions is simply to have fun they relax. Penny is indeed relaxed.

Great conditioning having Jesse here. It has been great for Murphy too.

Great pics again! They have so much fun, so heartwarming,

Great shots! Lol to the butt sniff. What is so funny, when you have more than one, is how they just walk by one another and throw out a random sniff and keep going!

Jesse looks like he is having fun with the Havs! He is absolutely gorgeous. Spice looks great!
Wish Scruffy would let up on Pepper. Her hair is better but nowhere near as full as Spice's.

Lori: It will come. One day you will go - oh she has hair. Wonder when that happened? Its what I did with Spice.

November 26, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Yes, she came like that and I have been trying to get it just like she came. It's cute!

Penny's double 'pony tails' are so cute on her.

November 27, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKathy & Kona

I enjoyed these photos. Such expressive faces on all. I love the pig tails too. Who are Penny's canine parents? She looks like an Abigail girl, but I don't recall the name.

Did you see the National Dog Show today? I enjoyed seeing the Havanese although her walk around was cut out. Enjoyed seeing that the Cotons are now part of the show. This one's face looked incredibly like the Havanese.

Who has time to watch the Phillie show. heh I wish. I still have 2 dogs to wash for the show. Will watch it as it will be on again. Glad you watched it and they always seem to be shorting someone. They need to get a new camera guy. Penny is a Fiona pup.
