Sorry - we just took Moxie, Ella, the 2 pups and Cinnamon swimming. No one else was interested and we went and tried with each. Plus I am still recovering from pups so combing out every single dog that swims is on me so I feel bad that the warm weather is over for a bit. WE have a summer though and there will be more opportunities.
In the gallery you will see a basket that I got at Lee Valley. I use it in my laundry tub to clean feet. You see if the dogs stand in the sink the water wicks up the legs and the hair stays soaked. By putting them, in this basket the feet drain when you wash and you get damp vs soaked. Damp allows faster drying time or as I have been doing with Roxie, I have been leaving them damp and they are just slightly damp. It has saved me so much time and it fits in my laundry tub easily and its easy on the dog's feet. I like it so much that I will buy another in a different colour just to make sure I have a backup if this one breaks.
It was a very hot day. We spent a lot of time trading off with time outdoors. Meaning we alternated responsibility for Roxie and the pups. I also had a few groomings today so I was juggling. Even though the pups are doing well, I tend to watch them on my video to make sure everyone is good.
We just had a big rain and no one wanted to go out after it. They don't realize how comfie it is. I have fans on, windows open and hope for a more comfortable sleep for all of us. Ever have high heat and dogs snuggling with you?
Well, that's my life!!
