Evolving

Fitz and Coco are playing up a storm. It is nice seeing Fitz play like he was with her.

Here is today's gallery.

Both Willows were swimming today and then we realized it was getting late and I needed to groom Willow to go home. So, I rushed with her wet to go get her done and Dennis had wet the floor in front of the door so down I went. I messed up my wrist, hand, the other hand, knee and on and on. I am bloody sore. It was hard to groom and do it rushed. LOL Despite that, she came out looking gorgeous. Well, I think so.

I am icing myself and hoping tomorrow is a good day as I have grooming to do.

Come Friday the sink goes in. The faucet arrived and it was packed like fort knox. It looks and feels substantial. Looking forward to seeing how it works.

Tomorrow Ozzie, Miss Mia and Amy arrives. Ozzie is coming for a few days and Amy and Miss Mia for the day. Coco and Doozie departs. We miss them when they depart. It's silly, I know but we appreciate enjoying their moments.

Its hard to type believe it or not so am leaving this blog at this point. Off to the couch, icing and dog loving. 

PS: Nathan was in the pool when I fell and he said you could hear me in the next city. He's so funny....sure...

Oh Darlah, I am so sorry you fell. Please try to take it easy. I know how hard falls can be. I tripped up our new hardwood stairs recently while carrying Patches up. I was just concerned about hurting her so I took the brunt. I was sore for quite a while. Take care and hugs.

Take good care Darlah, tomorrow will be a better day. You may be stiff but it will pass, try to stretch the affected areas. I find stretching works well when done properly. Better than pills, for me anyway. A beautiful day for the pool though, nice gallery.

Willow and I are sending you puppy hugs and kisses!!! I hope you feel better quickly. I feel so bad that you fell. We also think she looks gorgeous Darlah. Thanks so much for a fun play day and grooming.

goodness! hope you are OK darlah! take care!

I am icing. I did 2 dogs tonight that are departing tomorrow as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them done tomorrow. Wanted to do the 3rd but hands gave out so hoping I can get her done tomorrow. Glad I have Friday off.My knee and both hands are in so much pain.

Anne: Can you tell me what stretches, please?

Ruth: Willow didn't even realize what was what. The dogs are always my priority so I don't think but react making sure they are fine. sometimes at the cost of me but wouldn't have it any other way.

Angela:

I can relate. We love our dogs so!
