Fine Spring Day

Got to get Scruffy and Pepper ready to go home (brush out - nails done, pads done) so this will be short. But we had a ton of fun. Half the yard is ice and snow, half debris. Our bench is totally broken so I am looking for a new bench this year - a used one. So if you know anyone - let me know. It's amazing the damage the storm did that you didn't see till the melting began.

Dogs really got a mess. Some even ventured into the water on top of the pool still mixed with ice. Here's a few photos taken today. Then off to brush. Everyone else got their brush earlier. I wait till just before for the duo so they look nice just before departure.

In, out over and over today. We had a lot of fun!

Those are great pictures! Love the one of the five amigos on the deck!

Love the picture Darlah of the five all lined up ... like they were posing for you!!
Such a nice looking bunch too! :)

oh, I love that bottom picture! Thank you. Who is Levon's buddy waiting to go in the back door with him? I also love the group shot.

The five on the stairs look like wise Buddhas waiting to dispense their wisdom to any who should ask. Great photo.

Shannon: That's your duo in the last photo. Touching noses at the door is Logan. :-)

No posed photos. They just stood that way. I think they were trying to figure out where they could go seeing the pool was water and ice. Cali, Scruffy and a few others decided to plow through the middle of the pool.

April 8, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Lol, no I knew the bottom two were mine!!! It was Logan I couldn't place. :)

The five lined up is truly a great photo! So cute. Though Pepper looks like the leaning tower of Pisa :)
What can I say about the Scruffster? I'm not surprised that he opted to make himself a mess, especially if he could follow Cali around while doing it. LOL. He is silly that way.

April 8, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Yeah Cali leads the crew in so many %$^ ways but its funny too. Just a lot of grooming work. Couldn't tell that Scruffy did the run through the ice water thing could you? Can't wait till it is swimming weather as I have a feeling she will love it.

April 9, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Yes Darlah, I could tell because he was cleaner coming home than when I dropped him off! LOL
I'm wondering if this summer you might get Pepper to swim. I believe she is afraid of the water. It would be nice to condition her slowly. Probably would make her baths less stressful too. Believe it or not, Scruffy is getting much more patient with his baths.

April 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Well Scruffy has a bit of age on him but yes we could bring her swimming. If we can time it on bath days even better otherwise I may as well bath as you are blowing them out anyways. :-)
