Posing

I just finished washing Roxie. She's going to the vets tomorrow as she has milk. Maybe she can help Panda?

What I noticed about this photos is how much she looks like Logan.

I am not sure if I will get to photos today or not. I still have some to brush out. Nathan hasn't clicked any yet and neither has Dennis. Though they have been in and out a ton of times. I also have Zoe here for a bath.

Sylvia gave me a keyboard for my ipad and Daddy Truffie and Mommy Abigail got some treats (huge thanks) and I am typing on it right now. The duo are saying nah nah I got treats and you don't. Okay, I gave in and gave the rest chicken strips. What a suck I am. At least Nathan tells me so.

This keyboard is easier to type this way and I don't always have to rely on my computer to do updates - wow. This may make it easier when pups come. If I am going between moms then I can have my ipad and keyboard with me. It will also make it MUCH easier come spring/summer. I have a feeling I am going to be living in the xpens at times with a new mom Panda and a mom with many Spice perhaps. See their blogs to follow. Be sure to check out Nathan's face today with Panda and Spice.

To those that make fun of us or post photos of our gate in the front as dogs have scraped it to hey - well we made a huge splurge and bought a new gate that will come in a week or two. It's bronze, no longer wood so no chew toy gate for pups and bigger dogs. It will come with a gate so you no longer have to climb over it. Good news for many.

It was way overdue but somehow our $$ tend to go to the dogs, the vets, bills and supplies. hahahaha You notice who is first in that equation.

If I do not get to photos, at least you have the beautiful Roxie to look at. I know not enough but I am only 1 person. I do try.

In 5 days Nathan is at the show during the day in Lindsay for 3 days. So, on Friday I am doing a lot of washing and getting him ready - 6 baths with visitors. He packs the car. So if we have a lull that day, please understand. It's only Valentine's Day. :-)

Maybe I will let Nathan put it all away on Monday. He would but I may not be able to find things if he did.

Hi Darlah .. when you have a moment (haha) will you either post or email me where you got the gate. Have been looking for one for awhile to replace the one I have blocking the front door.. a gate to walk through will be heavenly !

thanks

Roxie does look a lot like Logan in this shot. She is a beauty. I wonder if she is actually pregnant ??

I know what you mean about not finding things after Nathan puts them away. Ken empties the dishwasher and I end up looking for stuff, sometimes it takes days. The picture of Roxie is stunning! What a beauty. You will love your keyboard. I have been looking for one that will work with my Blackberry tablet and not cost a fortune. Don't beat yourself up if you don't get to everything. For those of us who follow your blog, we would rather have you healthy and not stressed. Even having one dog keeps me busy so I don't know how you manage with your crew and everything else you do.
Keep well! :-)

Kathy: If she is pregnant she most likely only has 1. She never connected with Kat. We will take an xray to be sure but I am leaning towards not. I am probably leaning towards that as I prefer not and to breed her in April/May instead with Jeannie. One will be a tough one as all her focus will be on just 1. So lets hope not. Tomorrow we know for sure.

Gerda: Will do!

Marilyn: Thanks. I just finished washing my last dog and brushed everyone. Nathan never took photos - tsk tsk. Is it a playbook? Been seeing them cheap on Craigs list. Have you been watching? I have been watching for a hipstreet standing case for Dennis' Nexus 7 but I may buy new as they are just under $40. Sometimes used is not always a deal. With all that Dennis does he deserves one. I think the playbook case/keyboard that I saw on Craigs list was 25.00. All the cases/keyboards seem to come up with the same search. Do you have Craigs in cottage country? What about Kijiji?
