No Photo Day

The dogs are all hunkered down as it is pouring outside. Got notified by a friend that she just received bad news about her dog. It reminds me that we all need magic wands, puppy kisses to make life positive. She's going to have a stiff drink, I may have one too and maybe we will Skype and do it together - hahahaha Just teasing. Not making light of it. Just making a note that the dogs absolutely get you by if you allow. No matter what happens, a kiss a snuggle feels better but only if you allow. You must allow!

I also know someone that recently lost their dog and I know they read this blog. My heart goes out to her truly. Good people - crazy mountains we seem to have to climb.

It's raining and the dogs are all piled on Nathan soaked and when I am done I will be blow drying them one by one. Nathan says just brush and put the blowers on as they have to go out again and you get to blow dry them twice. Gee thanks...

Its okay. It keeps me busy.

He is literally drenched and is now changing and getting a ton of blankets so they can snuggle in.

I think tomorrow I am going to send Nathan to get a pumpkin muffin from Tim Hortons. Don't laugh but they are great and makes me feel good till I look at the weight.

The dogs really played their hearts out but Dennis did click some but really I need to teach him how to hold the camera steady as I am getting too many blurry. It happens when you start out. But there are techniques to steady the camera with a long lens on. Teaching is on my to do list.

My to do list grows.

Till tomorrow. Hmm why did I even wash anyone today?

Gigantic hugs to someone with a wonderful heart. All the troubles right now you talked about yesterday, especially your poor grand-daughter, and you still think so much of others. That takes a whole load of compassion and you have that in spades.

Darlah, by doing these blogs you let me into your life...for the good,the bad and the ugly! Right now it's an ugly time for you....sending positive vibes your way. I've been doing a "Gratitude Challenge" this week and at the top of my list was that I am so grateful for my dogs....to share joy in my life and to brighten my day during the bad times. You are so right about taking comfort from our fur children
