Spice Pup in the House

Mabel is visiting and today I decided no grooming. She will get the full treatment tomorrow. I have to say she is AMAZING in how high she can jump - oh my gad!

Nathan was getting calls wishing him a happy birthday and Mabel kept licking his glasses, giving him kisses. It was a bloody riot. Okay so she is a Spice pup so expected.

I just love the spirit and it was needed today so thank you for bringing her.

We did spend the day at the pool. We had good food, warm water, great cake and as you can see Roxie is ever so tired from jumping and jumping in. I think Nathan and I are tired too.

Everyone was chilling. Logan decided to hang out with Dennis or Danielle. Maybe it was too much noise but he snuggled in with Danielle and just gave her love. It was nice! Maybe he figured she needed him.

The dogs had to go inside a few times as the excitement they got so excited they wanted to bark each time someone jumped in the pool. Our rules is bark - inside and then they get let out again to try again and usually it only takes 1 try. Dennis was really sick today - migraines, bloody nose - been like this all week. So sometimes the dawgs would snuggle with him inside too. He had Adele for part of the time as she is in heat.

But all and all everyone had at the pool time and running like crazy time despite the busy-ness.

Ziggy is such a class act personality. He is indeed a Scruffy sibling. They may look different but they both have that intoxicating fun personality. We are enjoying him.

Our youngest son fell asleep outside and Fiona decided to lay next to his head and create this draping effect. It was funny as Jon didn't move - just slept away.

Poor Roxie - the air dried look.

Roxie swam for hours - no lie - and I mean hours. We had to keep making her rest and she would whine to get back in under her breath as she was so thoroughly excited about it.

Truffie was the smart one and caught the shady moments.

Wasabi - well she is truly enjoying the activity. Today was a good day for the dawgs having a tremendous amount of fun. I just realized I don't have a Panda photo and I am not sure why but she was thoroughly fun today. She just adores Mabel as if she is hers. :-)

Now off to snuggle and rest!

Wow, 60! Doesn't look it at all! Happy birthday Nathan!

Thank you for having her! She was so excited before you even opened the door I could barely hang on to her lol
Yes she can jump! ... I had to leave the room at dog class and she cleared the baby gate that was there to stop the dogs from getting up the stairs to the door! Also she can jump on the dinning room table. No running start just looked up and next thing I knew she was on the table.
Sorry to hear your son has migraines :( I do know how difficult they can be.
Does he suffer from allergies?
I hope Nathan enjoyed his day!
Thank you again

Looks like you all had a wonderful day. Nathan sure doesn't look 60! The dawgs are keeping him young at heart! Wonderful!

Jayne: Yes he has allergies and this is not a good year. :-( Mabel is amazing at how agile she is and she is a happy, happy gal. Just love her!
