Sun Times

Oh my Chester, you are so cute! I also noticed that Murphy is looking more and more like Risa.

Here is the gallery.

Today was busy. You can look in the gallery. We had a blast with the dogs - always manage to do that no matter if you are tired, down, depressed etc. The dogs lighten your load, if you allow. I seriously mean that. I have Lennon hell bent in trying to ruin my japanese maple. Yes, we are correcting him but I also shake my head knowing I will be talking about this one for years.

Plus I had a lot of work done today at home. I also had a lot of grooming. Thank you, Lynda and Gallan for yum food. It was great to see you!

My extra pegboard went up but not filled. The backsplash behind the sink went up. Oh my I love the backsplash. Now I want one for the kitchen. The electrician came back and for the 1st time in 30 years, I have a switch inside to control the outside lights in back vs. having to go outside in winter to turn them on each night before letting the dogs out. It is the little things that count. Now we can turn them on from outside and inside. Now to get all the landscape lights working and installed. 

I bought the itune cards and they went missing. I say the cashier never gave them to me and they insist she did. Upsetting as it was expensive. Life...

We also heard of a family that boards with us, their daughter had a serious accident at camp. Our hearts go out to the family. I am complaining about itune cards and look... life. We pray she recovers. I know 3 people dealing with cancer - and they are people I care about. F$%^ cancer.

But no matter what... dogs truly lighten our load if we allow. Thank you for them! I am blessed to share in your dogs and my dog's lives. 

No swimming today. Oh and we got our guest bathroom painted. One room at a time... before mom's are pregnant and if you listen to Kat, Cinnamon may be coming in any time.

Your grooming room is looking slick!

Thank you....Feels better grooming in nice surroundings. Hard to explain.

I agree with you. Rusty is my mainstay through everything we are dealing with. He gives me comfort and unconditional love when I need it most. He gives me peace whe we walk together. I love him to pieces. So I say thank you for giving me something so special. Seems that everywhere you turn there is cancer Ugly thing and so tragic. We all need that inner strength to get through it. I hope that all your friends hang in and get better. Positive thinking does help as hard as it might be sometimes.

The grooming room is beautiful. Your sink is utterly amazing. I am sure you are wondering how you did without it.

Which dog is in the first 2 pictures? He has black hair and it is quite short?

Backsplash fits perfectly with the rest of the room, I know it will be easier to groom in that room and easier to keep tidy. Keep us posted about the mats for the sink, I have looked a bit but might order online. My large shelving unit was from Uline, stainless steel, expensive but Tom would only want that so it wouldn't rust or corrode.
It is distressing to hear about all the illnesses happening as we get older, others and ourselves. Prays for all those affected and their families.
I hope the daughter injured at the camp heals quickly, sending her healing prayers aswell.

That is Pepi. We watched him for years. He is not our breeding and then mom brought us him to rehome. He is an old guy now and has been in his new home for a number of years - quite happy!

I sure am wondering how I did without it especially all the years we had the goldens. Now Inula fits in it nicely too. She was a bit cramped in my original setup.

Kisses to Pepi, from another rehoming mommy. So happy for him🥰
