Murphy is back and oh my gad is she a fun puppy. When Odin tried to play with her Saffron interfered. I went no, we share around here. :-) Dolly thinks the puppies are great too.
We didn't capture all the play as we actually had to replace 6 deck boards as they were rotting. I strategically had plant pots covering holes. That wouldn't work in winter with pups and all. So, 1 more thing off the to do list before pups arrive. Still have sanding doors and staining. We are almost finished the pool shack. We had to replace a new door, flooring and well seal up the roof. Got to laugh. Nathan mentioned painting hallways but somehow that won't get done as I am not doing it. I would like a couple of days to breathe before the pups come. We shall see how it all unfolds.
Wanted to swim today but the deck took ALL day. There's always tomorrow. Ella was itching to go in. Roxie is a miserable soul. Swimming may be good for her. I think she is still in morning sickness and Adele seems to be eating quite well now. Poor Roxie, this too shall pass for you too - hopefully!
My garden has gone to hell. There is always next year. I looked at the pretty fall flowers and Nathan said really more plants? So, I didn't indulge. I was out shopping for rolled linoleum. I wanted one piece that would fit this room to protect the flooring when pups come. Home Depot's machine was broken and they tried to upsell us. Guess next week is a Rona trip.
Today Ringo departed. We will miss him. He really enjoyed himself!
We have a busy holiday weekend. I think people must be out having fun.
Got a pair of thinning shears on a real cheap deal. It took 6 weeks to arrive here too. Well, having issues with them but when they cut right they are great. When they catch, well they don't and then I have to fix the catch. Can't cheap out on grooming scissors. Live and learn. Will just have to save up for ones that actually work well. I am still working on having 2 of each so I can send mine out to sharpen but still be able to use a set.
It's been a day but tomorrow brings new players for a fun filled long weekend and I have only brush outs tomorrow.
Come Tuesday we will only have Ziggy and Odin.
