Pups and Older

Ozzie is a Stormy pup and was here for play and grooming.

Gucci from Raven was also here for the same. 

They had a blast playing. I am highlighting them tonight as they played with the wee pups and the adults and they played wonderful. It was great to see. 

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow I finish thinning out Cooper. They depart Monday early. Well, early relatively. April and Barney comes tomorrow. April is an Ella pup. River and Adele depart tomorrow and as Adele is in heat - oh boy its been interesting with the boys. My daughter owes me. LOL We so miss the dogs when they depart. It's hard to explain. Happy to see them happy to see their humans, sad for the lack of cuddles from them. Except as much as I love Adele, she needs to get spayed as we can't do this craziness when our dogs are not in heat. It's too hard on the boys and us listening to the whining and scratching the doors. 

Monday, Shlomo departs and he has had an amazing time playing. He's rather fond of Cooper, Ali, Sky and Leti. Zoe and Noah departs Monday. They have had an amazing visit other than the thunderstorms. We have had way too much rain.

Bonus Willow from Raven's litter comes Monday and Rocky also comes. Come May 1st, we will just have Barney as a visitor. Wednesday we head out to a movie. 

We are looking for glasses. Corey ate Nathan's glasses and he got his last pair from Clearly. He feels they are junk so if anyone knows a better quality place that isn't expensive, let me know. He can't see without glasses so his is taped etc. We so love the pups. LOL 

We had a lot of wind today and the dogs were loving it. But our pool is now full of leaves and debris - argh. It was mighty cold today - winter coat time. 

Starting next week, I am taking a day off and Dennis is going to do the same. I am not sure what day but it may change from week to week depending on grooming. If you remember I did this before pups and it worked well. Dennis brought it up today and I said - oh yeah... no washing dishes, feeding dogs, grooming, cleaning floors, bathrooms etc Everyone needs 1 day off a week, I think. 

I am also going down to just doing this blog. I will continue to do updates though, when I receive them. Tonight we have Jasper in Ella's blog. That means, you will see the puppies in the gallery on this blog. 

Can't wait till summer! Mother nature - get with it - will ya?

I think it is about time that you had a day off. You all deserve that at the very least. I think Lencrafters have good deals and if you have CAA they have a discount. Maybe not as inexpensive as clearly but Lenscrafter fills the prescription well. Some places I used to go to didn't get the script right and that is important.
i needed glasses for driving. My old age has seemed to make my eye sight better for distance and not as good for reading. Funny how that works.

You need a day off! I found that Optical Culture at 3325 Bayview Ave North at Cummer and Bayview on the East side of the street are excellent. They are in the little plaza next to the gas station. I have tried a few places here up north an didn't find them all that great. They are totally worth my 2 hour drive to get there. It's not a big chain. Maybe that's why he really knows what he's doing. He strives for repeat business.
