My is it Hot

But funny thing is no one wanted to go in the pool except pups and Roxie and Ella. We had Helen and Suzie over with Milo and Hugo. Here is the gallery of the adults plus some with the pups. Then if that wasn't enough, here are the puppies swimming and oh my gad they all swim well.

Tomorrow I wake up, wash Envy and he goes home. We are meeting Paula in Newmarket, having lunch and hopefully swimming. We shall see. Dennis and Jonathan will be home with the crew. It beats driving to Sudbury.

It has been nice seeing Envy. I hadn't seem him since he was a pup (born here) so it was extra special to me. Nathan had seen him. 

We had puppy heaven here with PJ, Dallas, Saffron, Murphy and Olive. 

Oh and Mia is the gal with the ribbon in her hair. It's Truffie's girlfriend. :-)

I had a tremendous amount of marathon grooming this morning. It's been like that for days. 

Girls are out of heat but keeping Mia company. No sign yet with Leti. heh. That's okay. I have a sneaky suspicion in will occur in a few weeks - just watch.

Off to dog snuggles and watching the voice. 

PS: Cookie has a new home. He goes this week and we may get another rescue in and guess what, if we do we have a home that wants her too. I am so glad. Every dog deserves a forever home.

So happy that Cookie has a new home. We got to know and like Cookie through the blog. He does deserve a forever home. Thanks for keeping us all posted on Cookie. So Truffie has a new girlfriend....hmmm.. Can't wait to see what they produce.

Great shots of Nathan diving and the dogs looking up at him. Looks like it was a great day by the pool, for humans and canines!

What a treat having all the puppies there. Murphy looked like she didn't stand still for one minute! You realize how little they are under all that fur when they are soaking wet.

Best place to be on a scorching hot day ....your house!

Wow, all those puppies together ... Fantastic and so much fun. Still can't get Clarity to relax enough to find the pool stairs on her own while swimming. She comes in with me, but grudgingly, although quite comfortable on the stairs while I'm with her. Really happy for Cookie!

I am very happy for cookie. You really had a busy day! The puppies are adorable and the adults appear to be doing their own thing. Unruffled by all the bodies around. I loved seeing the pups in the water. Nathan is a natural teacher. They trust him completely and that is key. Thanks for all your work.

Christine, how is she playing on the mat in the water?

Sherry - yeah not enough time in the pool though. hahaha

Congratulations to Cookies new forever family.

Love seeing all the pups swimming.

With the heat today I am sure that there will be pool time.

How are Mia and Truffie getting along ?

Yay, Cookie, wonderful when a homeless dog gets a home. And, wonderful pics again, Darlah! I especially love the pics of Inula running, wow, she is gorgeous. But, you know what, I could say that about them all. It is just that some pics really show how each one has features that are out of this world.

Oh my gosh these pictures of the puppies swimming are fabulous! It took me a few looks to see which pup was Dallas, she has never been swimming before. Looks like we will be going swimming at my mom and dads house. I think Nathan should start a puppy swim school. Great photo's Darlah.
So happy to hear that Cookie has found his forever home, wonderful news!
