No Brush Day

This is Clarity and Farley. They are not here but their mom sent me a photo of them mucking it up at the park. This is my no brush day. Every once in a blue moon I don't brush for the day other than to do those going home or grooming dates. it is extremely rare that I have absolutely no grooming. Usually if I am really sick. hehehehe Everyone needs a break every now and then.

Here is today's gallery.

Nathan and a couple of dogs went in the pool. That means brushing and combing for me. Weather got cool and everyone got out. Looks like rain again. 

Everyone is having a good time.

Saffron is back eating well. Leti who eats some days and other days she says nah (always been like that) ate 3 meals yesterday and ate 2 again today. Some dogs will hold out for the good stuff and Leti is it. In Saffron's case she must now be over the morning sickness. Her belly is also getting round.

Dogs are really enjoying themselves. Murphy and saffron are still stuck like glue. Shlomo and Stormy never seem to stop playing. Ziggy plays with everyone from Riley to Chewie to Murphy - just come on play. That is what I am here for.

It's a great crew. I just hope everyone is enjoying this weekend. Hoping teh weather cooperates for all of you. If it rains we may snuggle up on the couches and recliner, watch tv and enjoy. You should try it too. Nothing like multiple dogs on your laps giving you snuggles. Best...

Multiple dogs must be fun. Who was Leti's mate ?

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the dogs having a great time next door. Good to see Tuffie. I see that the Kat was in the pool today.

Great that you had fun next door. Always nice to see Truffie in the mix. Not sure if Leti was bred? Can't tell from the comments other than she seems to eat more?

I'm curious how you keep the dogs from jumping in the pool. I know Ella did yesterday. Surprised it doesn't happen more often!

Leti will be bred when she goes in heat. She was not bred - no heat - except saffron. Leti is just eating better. they are due to go in heat soon. I hope not in August as listening to Kat may make me have to find people's homes I can sleep at. hahahaha Just teasing but just want August as stress free as I can get it.. Nathan gets his yearly Florida trip with the guys. I just want some days with hardly anything to do. :-)

Sherry: No one will jump in the pool. They look. They won't go till Nathan has his bathing suit on. They won't go even when I am swimming. Ella - that was her first time. She realized we were not happy. Every now and then she has a streak of Stormy in her. Stormy is not crazy about swimming so... there is that. We have spent a lot of time training them not to go in unless Nathan is dressed to go in. It has worked so well that I can swim to my heart content and they will just look at me. They won't even go in if I ask them to. It is great as I get the pool to myself at times. Risa used to lay on the steps. she no longer does.
