Slushy Weather

It's warm enough that the dogs are staying out longer with us and that means we can snap but we don't just go out and click photos. We play with them and we go pickup on site. They are expelling more energy now that it isn't as cold.

Here is the gallery.

The dogs were all brushed out and are now wet rags. It's that wet snow. I comb them out again but instead of putting each under dryers I give them warm heated towels and blankets and set up 2 dryers to get them feeling toasty. Then I brush them out again. It's a crazy process but the dogs love it. Nothing like burrowing into warm blankets and towels in the tv room and taking a nap. Of course some prefer the kitchen or the hall but the absolute fave place is the tv room. It's like the kitchen table area for a family without the food. Everyone gathers and enjoys each other and has some downtime.

We have cameras in the house so one day Dennis had the display of all the cameras on the tv. Murphy (Safs sister) was watching it and was highly fascinated. Yes, some dogs do watch tv. Watch out for that Pet Channel. Some dogs will bark at it. :-) Not all but... some.

That’s so interesting about Murphy. She does love watching the aquarium channel (just a bunch of fish swimming on the screen) so I leave it on when I go out.

Sherry:

She is indeed a tv watcher. :-)

Takes after her mom😊
She does bark at dogs on screen so I’m surprised she didn’t bark at your images.

My earlier comment about the Flying Havanese seems to have disappeared, so here I go again.

I IOVE this photo! i know that it's difficult enough to get this sort of action shot of just one dog, and here we have three. Good job! The dogs are obviously having a great time, and just looking at the picture makes me smile.

Wow. What an amazing photo. The dogs look like they are having a blast. So much work for you I can’t even imagine.

Yes, lots of combing out but they are having fun. Supposed to be slushy tomorrow. <sigh>
