Changing

Mia had a bath and is all ready to go home bright and early tomorrow or is she?

This photo was taken 5 minutes after the top photo. Got to love it!

We will miss her - so will Truffie, I imagine! Can't wait to see the pups when they are born. 

The dogs had a really great time today - each and every one. I caught them yawning mid day they were playing so much. You will see it in the gallery. Don't worry they nap and then play again.

Nathan will be home very late so we will be waiting up for him. Inula today got Select towards her grand championship. She did well this weekend considering. We are proud of the team.

Here is today's gallery.

Everyone is out of heat - hooray tomorrow though Clarity is here and I want her to play with more sedate dogs so we will be acting as if we have a heat. She just had her surgery. 

Bracing ourselves for the next heat cycle coming I am sure next month. 

Pool Thursday when Yvonne visits. I hope I get in sooner than that though. :-)

Geez summer is almost gone. 

I have to say I have some of the best puppy people as friends. They let me know about things they are selling that I could use first. One of the items I am buying will replace that gate that is falling apart. The gate became available just in time as I think Kat has killed the one we have. Good old heats... a must but really...

I did not realize that Mia was such a dark girl. She reminds me of Risa.
Truffie will miss her.. I am sure the break from gals in heat will be welcome.

I am excited to see the pups.

You can tell that Mia is related to Jeannie. Where does she live? Great photos of today's play. Inula did really well and you guys must be so proud. Bonus...Coop gets to see Yvonne on Thursday :-). Wishing Nathan a safe drive home tonight.

Those pics of Mia before and after and only 5 minutes apart are priceless!

She lives in Quebec City. I hear that is where you are heading. Now if you were going Monday I would have sent her with you. heh She is from Domlina Havanese.

Yes, Inula did really well. Val did the same but Val is not happy. The person who was running the show won the speciality. With the havanese we have a rule that the person running the show can't show their dogs.

Yes lucky Coops gets to see Yvonne. I hardly see or talk to her these days so it will be a treat.

I figure Nathan may be home by midnight at this rate.

Kathy: She is a silver black. Risa is a black. I rather like Mia's colour.

August 23, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I sent them to her owner but didn't hear back. Maybe she wasn't impressed. Hoping my handiwork in the morning remains till she arrives

August 23, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Wow! What an active day. Looks like Murphy and Saphron were inseparable. In some pictures you can't figure out where Murphy begins and Saffron ends. Such a joy to see their friendship.

Love the Mia before and after 5 minute photo. Gives me a sense of the non-stop grooming you do!

August 23, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterSherry S

Yes, they do so love each other. It's as if she didn't see her and then when she did they both went crazy.

August 23, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Such great photos, Darlah. I love to see Trig and Levon hanging out even with all the other dogs there. I also love to see them playing with others. Lol.

August 24, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterShannon

Yes, they are playing so well independently these days too.
