Where's the Havanese

Every now and then Inula has to count and her pal Ozzie, Yes, we also have a Ozzie havanese visiting us. heh

The dogs had a blast. Katie and Molly departed. We hope Ruth is feeling better.

Simba arrived and is having a blast and well all the dogs got to see our grand daughter, her friend and our daughter. They marveled at how well behaved Dusty is telling us they could tell she is a therapy dog. She is hoping she can come to visit when Danielle is in the hospital. Three more days and surgery.

Here's a gallery from today. As my arm is a tad messed up Nathan had to do the brushing so he decided he only had energy to brush out Ella. So swam she did. Everyone played and enjoyed and crawled all over Danielle. Wish I had that photo but I was in the pool and well all I could do is watch it. The moments we miss.

I also did 5 miles of aerobics in the water and had the company of 2 miles with the daughter till she said ENOUGH. 

On Tuesday updates will be sparse as Paula, Tracy and a few dogs are coming into town and sleeping over. She will be departing early Wednesday. 

Is anyone heading to Whole Foods. Can you let me know if they have a S'well Bottle for sale? Looking to buy one. My all metal thermos died. If not, I will call the Markham one and talk Nathan into letting me go before class. Let's see if that works. hahahaha

Looks like everyone had a great time. Really glad the weather was good and you were all able to swim before your granddaughter has her surgery. Too bad Paula won't be here for the picnic. The fact that she's in town, does that mean you know who is you know what? I'm working slowly with Clarity in the pool, starting with the steps and making sure she is comfortable on them with me. We made it in 3 times and a little further each time.

I hope your granddaughter's surgery goes well, and she has a smooth recovery.

Darlah, when I was at Chapter's near me the other week they had S'well Bottles for sale. I just checked the website and they're listed there as well. If you have a Chapter's around, it might be a little easier to check out/get to than Whole Foods?

Thanks, Lainey. I will call the local Chapters.I appreciate it. I prefer not to have to buy online.

July 12, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

No, Paula is in town to do testing on dogs - hers and Tracy's. When Adele is in heat we have to go there. I so wish she was in heat seeing she is visiting. hehehehe Things can't be that easy.

Good re: the stairs and pool! I will announce when gals are in heat.

PS: I have invited Paula to the picnic each year but she always has something going on with kids etc.

July 12, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Good luck with the surgery, how long in the hospital. If aim back in town for sure Dusty and I will visit, we can also do a home visit as well.

Simone - 7 to 10 days. Her surgery is Wednesday. She checks in at 6am and surgery is supposed to start at 8am.

Is that really Ella diving into the pool? Wow, I expect that from Roxie, but little Ella???

What lovely tender moments you captured with Danielle and her Mom.

All the very best to all of you, especially Danielle. We will be sending many positive thoughts her way.

Oh Darlah you took such great pictures. The ones with your daughter are very precious. We wish her an easy time and a speedy recovery. Will be thinking of her.

Rusty and Ella look so much alike. I can't wait for them to see each other again. I will be in touch to find out what is good for you guys. We are all going to the cottage this weekend for a few days. Evan wants to fish with Sam and Rusty. I will send pictures.

Have a wonderful time at the Picnic. So sorry the date didn't work for us. I look forward to seeing pictures.

Darlah hope your hands get better.

Ella is quite the swimmer for such a young girl ! Love the pics on the steps. It is like the dogs were posing for the picture.

July 13, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

If you're still looking for a s'well bottle, they sell them at well.ca (as well as a bunch of dog stuff, some better priced than others) so you don't have to trek to whole foods!

July 22, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterEllie

Ellie: Thank you. I am looking for another so I will take a look. PJs mom picked one up for me and I gladly paid for it. I don't get out much so it was wonderful that she picked it up for me. When litters come I get out zilch.
