We Wanted To

I missed so many moments like the one where I was playing Bejeweled in the outdoor furniture on the upper deck. I was laying down. Scruffy jumped and I mean jumped on my head and as I was in the middle of the game his tail kept swishing in my face not once but over and over. I was scoring poorly and that's my excuse. Then Pepper jumps up and pushes him back off my head to my neck. She decided my head was her spot. Then Levon decided to walk up my tummy and give me a kiss. I gave up. No photos as I was sort of in the experience but I had several others laying with me - Oscar cuddled up on the inside, Spicy just minding her business, Levon taking the circulation out of my lower legs. Brewski was up with Saffron and Nathan taking a nap - those slackers.

But I did get a few photos but no action ones. We wanted to swim but the weather had other things in mind.

Everyone did a fair bit of investigating. Scruffy and pepper depart tonight and Nathan is at class with Inula. Anyone who complains about washing a Havanese has to have an experience with Inula as she is blowing her coat. She is a strong one and doesn't want to stay still. So when you think you have it tough come bathe Inula for me. hahahaha Really washing a havnese is NOTHING.

Oscar likes to walk on the top stair I guess to get his feet wet. Risa does this too.

Levon is fascinated by the cardinals in the yard. He watches and watches them. He never chases but he is very aware!

The girls was telling Trigger get your own chair so he did!

Oscar likes to watch me do crazy pool duties. He watches this snake thing in the pool. Hey, it moves! He is becoming good friends with Ella.

That's it. Got to brush out Pepper and Scruffy before they go home then chill with the dogs out back till Nathan gets home. Saffron is hanging out with the big guys. So far, so good!

Darlah are you talking to me about bathing Rusty! It wasn't easy but You are right Rusty was an angel. I was the problem. I got soaked. He looked great. Thanks to your bathing video. I love the picture of the girls on the chair.

Ronnie: No I was talking about Inula. She was - challenging.

Omg, I miss my puppies. I've only seen 2 dogs in Ottawa. That's crazy.
