After Bath & More

Coops couldn't help himself after those warmish dryers (use very little heat so it takes time to dry) and took a big old drink before I could snap but he's ready to depart and looking mighty fine. He's so soft and snuggable.

No swimming today.

Nathan has a show tomorrow. Adele started her first heat so I suspect Jeannie will be soon. It means Kat and Truffie and any intact boys have to be kept away. She gets segregated as she is much too young to have pups. The insanity begins. We hope that Jeannie doesn't come in for 3 weeks even though that would mean when Adele is finishing as Nathan has a National Specialty and if she comes in this coming week guess when Jeannie would be due? Never a dull moment.

Did a few baths today and thinned out Risa after her bath. Tomorrow I get to wash 2 dogs for the show and then Kat who really needs a bath. It's that time again.

Tomorrow we may have a Tibetan terrier in the pool after Nathan's show. Saturday no show and Sunday back to the show on his birthday. I am hoping the afternoon is warm on Sunday so he can laze at the pool, eat well and do nothing for the rest of the day.

Here's a few photos I managed to click between baths.

Mommy and son

Ty smiling and running.

Sticks and more sticks

I see a cardinal

Daddy Love

Open the door will ya - forget the camera

Can we swim now? No, its too cold now.

Adele gets to go out at different times than the boys. For the next 3 weeks its gals week.

It's a riot. he was washed, thinned out and you can't tell. He's a roller. Oh well.... one day I will get you perfectly groomed. At least no knots....

Now off to cuddle with the dogs and watch Britain's Got Talent.

Shannon: We know. Adele is without any of the boys. :-) He is keenly interested though. :-)

Talk about a fluff & buff !!! Cooper is gorgeous !!

May 29, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

Truffy, you have always had a special place in my heart. Totally adorable and looking mighty cheeky in this picture :-)

May 29, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAnne and Cooper

I think Coop looks like a big pillow .....

May 29, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAnne and Cooper

Aw, Spicy and Trig - how sweet! He's such a happy boy, always smiling!

May 29, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterShannon

Cooper sure is handsome, what a coat.
Truffie has a causal devil may care look in this picture.
I see that most of the dogs like their sticks.

Little Adele will have to play with the girls for awhile.
Who is Nathan showing ?

May 29, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKathy & Kona

Yeah Coop was a fluff ball - a nice and soft one at that. :-0

Yeah Truffie he does have a little of the devil inside him. :-)

May 29, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

These are all great photos!
Does Spicy chase birds? I think Pepper believes she can fly.....wants to chase them all. She gets up on her hind legs and does the bucking bronco on leash for every bird she sees. Hilarious!

May 29, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Yes, Spice thinks the birds are fun to chase and jump up at but its simply a game to her - fun. Where Wasabi will catch a squirrel by the tail and then let it go.

May 30, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Cooper looks like a manly man! :-) Love his hair. How is his top knot done?

Is it Roxie or Abigail in the 2n photo?

May 31, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterDebi & Laci

That is Roxie. His top knot was done with poking a hole and pulling it through the ponytail twice.

May 31, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I've done that w/ my granddaughters. Tried w/ Laci only once today - wasn't successful. Not as easy. Next time will leave looser ponytail and then try. :-)

Laci is a summer girl. She adores this weather and the outdoors! Love to see her so happy in her yard! Love to see your gang enjoying the outdoors as well!

June 1, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterDebi & Laci

Rubberband it higher up perhaps? Using a pencil or a sushi stick or a pen helps create the hole to make it look neat.

June 1, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Thx - will try that. Her top is so long now that we can do anything and actually been thinking of cutting it a tad. She can't go w/o the double tail at the moment, but I like it.
