Today's Update

Today I get to wash Nora, Shady, Brie and Colby as they depart. They were here for the weekend and Alene went on holiday the first time in years - hooray!!! I hope it was a huge amount of sun and fun!

So updates may be later. I hope Nathan takes photos while I am washing. Gracie comes just for overnight and no one gets the crew going like Grace. I call her crazy Grace as she is so hyper fun. I swear she has a havanese body but a Jack Russell infused energy. She's not from us but she goes to our same training classes. She adds an element of crazy play and when one gets tired she just moves on to the next dog.

Logie also gets to come to see his gal pal, Panda. They will be excited. One thing I have learned is when the mix is tight the relationship unfolds slowly and you are left with 2 dogs that are so truly bonded. They do love each other. Logie and Panda jump around as if they just won the gold in Olympics when they see each other. It's a riot!

I have to say that it turned out to be a busy weekend but this mix is outstanding. Everyone plays so well together. As the dogs get to know each other from a variety of visits they become completely relaxed as if its old friends seeing each other again.

On Valentine's Day I have 6 dogs to wash - 4 of my own as 4 are going to the show Saturday/Sunday and Monday and then get washed each day - yikes. Happy Valentine's Day to me. So Nathan if you are reading this the 12th would be good to celebrate Valentine's Day. Yeah, an in your face hint!

I am also getting rid of phlegm and so is Dennis so wondering if I should train Nathan to do show coats? 

Tuesday we go to the girls to the vet for an xray. Roxie is going in too as I need to know why she is still in false pregnancy mode.

Dennis must be bummed as he refuses to set up the xpens for the gals. He did clean and sterilize everything. He said please wait till after the xray. It's quiet without the pups but I hear they are all doing well.
