Done More Tomorrow: Some New Photos Added

Dusty has her child certification this morning and passed with flying colours. She was amazing.  She is now on her journey.

We are really proud of you Simone and Dusty!

We have visitors today so updates will be later. Check out Spice's blog to see the latest photo of Shelby, the gardener! Plus check out Kat and Roxie jumping in the pool video style.

Long story but almost had no time to swim or take video as I had unexpected things occur. Fiona jumped in after Cali jumped off the stairs. Fiona jumped off the side but I missed it and didn't get video. I was busy brushing cedars out of Cali's coat. Junkyard dawg.

Tried to get Cooper in - no go - Ziggy no go - and Scruffy. Oh well, there is tomorrow. We only had a 45 minute window for the pool today due to grooming, unexpected grooming for others etc. It was hot today too... so I was looking forward to the pool but it wasn't meant to be except for a short stint today. There will be other days.

Everyone got groomed. Muntuno was over for a bath. He is in a show this weekend.

His Momma said he was matting overnight so I did a bath, deep conditioned him and lined combed him. The top photo was after this happy, happy boy smushed his face into the dog bed. Don't they all?

Finnegan and Pippin came over but didn't get the time I wanted with them as Muntuno showed up and feel ever so bad as I missed my opportunity - life....

Desi who never was here before came for a playdate and did really well. It was fun to have her visit.

Panda looked and said I don't think so!

She would rather be playing with Logie....

I did run out of steam...

Everyone is in the tv room all over Nathan watching tv and here I type. Hoping tomorrow I have more time - whatever that is.

Still wishing while I was grooming Nathan took more photos of Pippin and Finnegan. Oh well...

Love how Kat keeps his tail up while swimming! Don't think I have seen another do that. Almost like a rudder!

He actually does use it as a rudder. :-)

This is the best video ever! Wow, they are amazing swimmers.

Congratulations to Dusty and Simone! Well done!
