Warm But No Swim

The ZiggyIt was warm but not as much as yesterday so no pool today. Besides, we were busy. We did a find the treat game. Dennis did run and hide with them and whomever found him got a small treat. We had fun.

This is a small gallery.

Pablo is here and to say he rested would be a lie even though Nathan tried to get him to nap with him he still wanted to play. He will sleep tonight. He is such a happy boy and is playing with everyone. He is so excited. Even the non havanese are fun to play with. Oh you say they are not havanese? I didn't notice, says Pablo.

Siopao and Dimsum went home today. Teddy is doing really well. He surely loves the recliner. That is HIS spot. He especially loves snuggles and tv time.

Misty I give up on. I gave her yet another bath and she is dirty. She loves to roll in dirt each time she is clean. Is she telling me something? I am NOT cleaning her before Woofstock. It is what it is!

Plants have not been planted. Weeds are growing. My dogs are getting their baths here and there. Woofstock is tomorrow.

I am looking through my photos as I am printing a few up to hang in my grooming room. Just before the sink comes, we are painting, changing cabinets and hanging some dog photos. :-) I want to be surrounded by dogs that I groom. LOL Lots of work but it needs to be done. Better to do it when we do not have pups - especially painting.

I am hoping Woofstock is fun. I haven't even had time to look at the vendors but we always manage to find something. Hope to see some of you there. Umbrella will travel. 

Sunday Nathan goes with our 3 sons to a kung fu movie (thanks Lynda) and I hold down the fort. It's his birthday on June 1st so they are treating him.

Darlah, what is your routine for the dogs' swimming? Are you or Nathan in the pool inviting certain ones to dive in?

There is always someone outdoors at all times swimming or not. We take the young ones in Nathan's arms and have them swim out several times giving support if required. We do not push dogs in going in. It has to be a positive experience.

Oh I know their safety would never be compromised. If they have enough confidence to dive in, they have the ability to climb out on their own. I recall the photo of Desi and a sibling swimming with Nathan. Thanks, Darlah.

Actually just because they go in doesn't mean they can figure out how to get out. It is why Nathan spends so much time showing them out all summer long. LOL He's a bit OCD about it.

Perfect situation for OCD! Dick is OCD about Desi and the fishpond whereas I would prefer him to fall in (under supervision) get scooped out and learn from his experience!
