Blast From the Past

Just found this photo from my archives and had to share it of Ripley - a Katsura son. I am dreaming about that white stuff about now as I am exhausted from all this combing out wet coats. This is a no photo day - sorry other than pups.

We are still busy getting rooms ready for the daughter and grand daughters to move in. It's more work than I thought as we are juggling rooms, throwing out things that take up room etc. I am also getting things ready for pups departing. Radar tomorrow..... Last one departs on Monday. 

Still waiting for that Japanese food. :-)

We also just had 2 dogs cancelled - well their owners for the holiday time frame and I had been turning away people so we now have 2 slots open. <sigh> Sorry to those I turned away. If I only knew. I do so apologize.

Today Kona departed. He was happy to come - happy to depart. He just loves his momma so! I love it!

Dallas arrived (see her playing with the pups in the gallery on Adele's page) and well Friday Gerda comes for her trio who will be bathed extra early. I hope the rain ceases. Can you imagine trying to keep Tre clean who thinks the rain is meant for him and Cali who is a swiffer mop as she is so close to the ground the water wicks up. hahaha But Kismet I swear says sit down lady - yeah in that recliner. I need a lap. Better yet a soft blanket to settle in on a lap is the best. Going to miss this trio.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. We may be busy but we are thinking about all of you - truly and hoping its the best or at least you get through it. :-)

Fun to hear about Laci's bro, Tre loving the rain/wet. Laci will want to go out and when she see's its raining can hold it like a camel. :-) She's quite the dainty lady. Funny, we've had both w/ our last two, one that liked to get dirty and dig and dig. Another that walked around puddles. Laci doesn't like dirty or wet, but she sure likes to be rough and ready, so a cross between the two. Love it!

They're so much fun!!!

What a nice surprise to open up the blog and see my very own cutie pie! Bless those paw protectors. Too many times Ripley's feet have looked like Murphy's in the photo from yesterday. They take a little bit to learn to get them on comfortably for both you and pup, but so worth it!
