Catching Up on Grooming

Oh boy what a few days and tomorrow is yet to come. We didn't get home till 10pm. Two days worth of working the specialty and I couldn't have done it without Lynda. I took photos and videos and without Lynda, I would not have been able to do that. She was amazing and I owe her big time. 

I have to admit I am exhausted. Panda is out of heat today - hooray!! It means no dogs segregated. Hooray!!

Dennis was amazing. By the time we walked in the door everything was done except the water dishes that needed to be washed. I did that when I walked in after the dogs went wild to see us. But the pups woke up at 6am and screamed to get up. It tells me they went to bed earlier than usual. Dennis thought that having them out 4 times for long play sessions would have had them sleeping in. 9pm is too early. 10 pm seems to give us to 7am at least at this stage.

Last night I crawled into bed and got bathed with kisses and snuggles for a good solid half hour - no lie. You would have thought I went away for a long time. I guess they love me - including the visitors and that's extra special. I told someone at the show if I didn't connect with the dogs like I do then why do this. They give me smiles - each and every one of them, ours and the visitors. That's something to treasure for sure!

It was great to see Breeze and Chinook plus Shelley and Al. Just not long enough!

Here are a few clicks I took today before doing a marathon brushing out. Kat is back to normal and playing without gals being in heat. Life resumes as we know it!

What a great son Dennis is. Thank you big time for all he does to help when you have litters. The Specialty was wonderful, we really enjoyed it. Thanks Darlah and Nathan.

Yes, Dennis is wonderful and does so much, dare I say behind the scenes.

We agree thanks to Dennis for following in your footsteps and taking responsibility for the dogs and loving them too! Breeze and Chinook just went with him yesterday so we know he has that connection to the dogs to make them feel comfortable.

You are all so busy and we thank you for all you do!
Sorry it was such a busy weekend and couldn't have had a longer visit but next time!

Yeah Dennis is special. He really loves the dogs like us!
