Needing Brushing

Sometimes I take photos before brushing and sometimes after the brushing. Jayne owns Mabel and Velvet and of course the Safi one lives here.

We have an issue with our pool cell so they are fixing the cell hopefully, empting the pool and filling it up again - okay half the pool water - oy is right! Our cell has not been working for a few weeks but we had a transmission to rebuild so I still swam but it wasn't crystal clean nor green just cloudy. As your pool gets older usually its 1 thing a year or 2 and some years you skip something. This year was a pool cleaner and maybe a cell. He's out there working on it. 

Here is today's gallery.

Marco dropped in and he is drop dead gorgeous. 

I need to wash Buddy for departure tomorrow and another dog. So, I am trying to get the blogs done. We may take some of the adults next door after Nathan gets his nap in. We shall see. They are doing tv time with Dennis as the pool guy is outside. Saturday, Sunday and Monday I have a ton of grooming so blogs other than the departures on Roxie's may be small. I do so hope you understand.

By Tuesday night things have calmed down. 

Dogs are all enjoying each other. Just waiting fo the pool to empty so we can go back outdoors.

Yes, Marco has settled in quite well! He wasn't even hesitant around the collie. Good one!

Sherry: Me too!! By the way saffron and Murphy are still ever so tight. It's amazing that they have such a strong relationship.

I always enjoy the wide variations in the Havanese colours, but also in the patterns which is so evident in these three.
Just curious, are you not able to add another sanitizer when the cell is broken without it swing detrimental when the cell is working again? Just curious, I don't know enough about salt water pools.
Half the pool water ... YIKES! That's likely the size of mine!

This afternoon with 2 hoses we will be putting on the heater. It has risen that far. It needs to be halfway up the skimmer as you know and its about 3 inches below that point. No, was unable to as I added way too much salt. Salt will etch the pool equipment if too high. Tomorrow it should be warm enough to swim if I leave it on all night. hahahahaha

Wasn't sureness why you had lowered it. Now I understand

I was wondering about Murphy and Saffron's relationship since she had puppies

Sherry: They remain tight!
