News and More

Thyme is in her new home with the Marlee gal. It will take a few days for her to adjust as I am sure she is confused and it will take a few days for the Marlee but at least they know each other. I am glad that we will get to see her. Nothing wrong with the Thyme. Nathan thinks she is on the smaller end. We could have shown her to her championship and bred her. You can't keep them all and when you know a dog like Thyme who has such an agile body and fun personality - well you know that her journey is meant to be a grand one. We will miss her - especially me! Okay Nathan too but sometimes it feels this is right and that is okay too!

If this works, it is a win/win for all. Marlee gets a playmate that will be able to keep up with her and she will add some fun into their house. So far she has found a fave bed and seems to be exploring.

There is no gallery today. Okay, I could have taken photos but I have been saving up tip money to buy Nathan a birthday/father's day gift. My tip money is gone but I got him the weber BBQ that he wanted. It's not their high end but its a Weber and its been years since we had one. His birthday isn't till June 1st.

So, I took him out to the van to show him. Dennis will assemble. He said I guess I can now buy you a vacuum for your birthday. I said don't you dare and hey I can bring this back. He said no. We need it. I said no, I can bring it back. He said no. So, he either likes it or I made a mistake. Time will tell.  

I will create a gallery tomorrow. I am sorry for being so lax. Just so much to do.

I have to go plant my pots and then I will do the Roxie blog. 

Spice and Trouble goes in to get spayed in a few days - on Nathan's birthday to be exact. 

Still looking for cannas. Still looking for water plants. Still wanting to swim but am lost in puppy heaven and we have a pretty spectacular mix of dogs here. Now that is special!!

Update on Thyme:

We're totally in love with her already. She ate up all her dinner and seems very at ease. Obviously a great tribute to everything you do with your dogs. Thank you so much!!!

Congratulations to Thyme and her new family. Wow, what wonderful news for her and her family. And, for Marlee, nothing better than a playmate.

Is Trouble with you, Darlah?

Thyme looks right at home!! Very happy indeed.

Once that BBQ gets installed and Nathan starts grilling you'll all be thrilled with his new birthday/father's day present!!! Yummmmmmm

Hope Risa had a fabulous Birthday. Marco sends hugs!

Yes I forgot to wish Risa a very happy happy birthday. I am sure she had a very special dinner.

From what you said, Trouble is getting spayed? Does that mean you are looking for a home for Trouble?

May 29, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterRonnie

Trouble is already in a home. We are just taking her to be spayed at our vets as we are going for Spice. They requested when they took her home.As we were already going, it made sense. Doesn't if we aren't as Nathan stays out there all day waiting till he can take them home.

May 29, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Oh, now I remember about Trouble, another double Havanese home. Thanks Darlah. Your dogs are like our own in many ways. :-)

Congrats to Thyme's new family !! She looks very comfie !
