Muddy and Sunny

Tenshi can't help but have fun and can you blame her? I can't! She departs tomorrow and she will have a full bath.

Here is the gallery.

Half the pool is clean, half still green. We tested the heater. It started then we shut it off. The water is 42f. Imagine your hand going into that to reset the pool cleaner each time you backwash. Only me. 

Dogs are getting used to it being open now. Yesterday (you will see Thyme looking into the pool) not sure what it was. Everyone that didn't know what the pool is did that. It was a riot. They have now adjusted. We are always out with them. They were leery of the pool equipment in the pool shack too. It was a mighty cold day out today. Even though it says it is 50f - 10c, it feels colder with the dampness. Tomorrow warmer and Thursday swimming weather but we will not be swimming as it takes 2 days for the pool to heat up and it gets cold or cooler after Thursday. 

I now have a ritual. Nathan goes up to take a shower and in the time he gets back downstairs all the dogs are combed out. But by noon they don't look it.

Did get Logan and Panda washed up as their mommy is coming home from Aruba.

Me, I was fighting with a company in the states about sending me the wrong part for my grooming table and then selling me a kit times 2 vs. just to get the part. I need it but the cost was not fun. 

I also ordered a bathing suit online and it comes tomorrow. Oh well, it will sit in the closet. Nathan also bought a suit. Are we excited or what? The weather is not cooperating though. Maybe May? 

Can't wait to get the dogs in swimming. I did overseed the back grass. Maybe this rain will help it. May need another bag. Dogs ignore it. I was thinking I needed to fence it off. They saved me work. 

It's tv time. Got to keep warm as heat is still not on and it is cold in this house. It's damp cold. Besides, I need to grab the recliner before Nathan beats me to it and Dennis finds some job for me to do. 

Oh the creative ways we try to avoid. hahahahaha

Off to snuggle with dogs.

Darlah I am hoping that we skip the rest of Spring and jump into summer weather.

Those pictures are great of the dogs checking out the pool. You just want to hug them all. So very sweet.

That picture of Tenshi makes me groan ! Guess I should appreciate the fact that Rebekka doesn't like to get her feet wet !!
