Bitter Cold

Sky is saying what is this white stuff? This is the pups first experience with this cold white stuff and they LOVE it!

Here is today's gallery.

The dogs are having fun. Last night Brewer and Sky slept with our daughter. She requested them both. They were pleased, I guess they could tell she is a true dog person. 

Dogs are running around like crazy but I am taking in outside cushions, washing and putting them away. Yes, they were still outside. We have been busy.

The daughter cut down Inula with clippers. I am off and on trimming and shaping to finish her (daughter left that to me) but boy she doesn't look like her without hair. Nathan maintains her. Hair grows and yes, I like Inula in longer hair but she has a beautiful shape and it changed her hair colour which often happens when you shave them down. Wrong time of year to shave down though. I may have to get her a coat. LOL

Dogs love this brisk wind but they want to come in sooner and so do I. 

We are dealing with the roller coaster rides that someone dying brings but the dogs make us smile. Nathan... he will be in Ottawa for the duration. 

Really going to miss the daughter. I love how she so loves the dogs like we do. There is love and then there is love!

Getting cold here, might get snow Tuesday, nothing yet but super strong winds. We went for a walk by the lake and the winds were so strong, we turned around and came home. Great gallery, is it Inula is #824 ? She looks good and her colours are striking. Sky is a real cutie pie 🐶💞

Inula looks great any way her hair is, she is a true beauty! Darlah, how long would you say Inula’s hair is, I need to let my two grow for the winter.

This is a 1 inch guard comb. Yes, that is Inula. I am still trying to adjust. I did shape her up. Didn't want her too short as it would have gave her too much exposure in winter and this is truly cold out. I have a feeling this is only the beginning.

Sky is adorable :-)

I just love Sky !
Hang in there Darlah, these situations are never easy but you just have to try to get through it a day at a time. So nice that your daughter is here for a bit. Not only for a visit but she can help you with grooming.

The deck makes a prefect background for Sky's lovely colouring!

I agree! Sky is a beautiful girl. She has the same little black patches on the sides of her face that Ellie has. (Didn't want to say beard for a girl-LOL.)
