Such a Slacker

It's a tad warmer today but we had a broken dryer, a puppy visit with two of Jeannie's pups (huge thanks for the yum desserts.) I also didn't click anything but the pups. You see Roxie is in heat and I believe Leti is coming into heat. Leti refused to play and well when a gal is in heat they usually stay in my office and get girls let in to play with or have to be taken out without the boys seeing. Its a crazy process so when we have visitors with a gal in heat we either have to put them away or the boys away. So while we have visits Dennis sits in and watches tv with them. Sometimes he goes upstairs with them or outside and runs with them but today with a repair guy coming for the dryer at the same time as a visit they went into the tv room to cuddle with Dennis. Besides its a tad warmer but still too cold to stay out for a period of time.

Right now Roxie is in prime and she is not being bred. She is over on the 23rd but if Leti comes in we have another for 3 weeks and the separation continues. Even if the males are neutered they can connect - yes that is so true. They just can't create puppies. Then if a neutered male does connect he will always be looking. That's not fair to the dog so that means mostly the gal in heat is away while the boys and others play. But we look for opportunities for the gal in heat to have her time to play too outside of the office as I believe they need to play, get out and live. When gals are in heat at least twice a day the crew watch tv and have their downtime with Dennis or Nathan. Sometimes Nathan naps with them. Other times he watches tv. We always try to give the dogs down time twice a day as they play nonstop.

So this is our life with dogs in heat. The boys count neutered and not and so do the girls. The gals aren't up to par so they want and need more downtime than the rest that are not in heat.

Isn't this more than you ever want to know? The long story is no photos. hehehe

PS: Several hundred dollars later I have a dryer. I have to have a dryer.
