Heat is On Plus Pablo Update

Hi everyone!  Special woof to my Pawrents!  I just had to take a dip today! My mom went in and I barked and barked asking to join her! And I loved it!

Here is today's gallery.

The sink is in. I had doubts it would go smoothly especially when he said he may have to cut the floor to fit the plumbing in. I said no. Find another solution or I will have to get someone else to install it. Sounds like I was being a biach but this is the most expensive sink I ever did have and I wasn't about to devalue it by cutting out the flooring which I needed for storage. That was the idea of the cabinet. There are different views in the gallery but its hard to get a complete photo.

Went to Costco with Sherry and held my breath wondering what I was coming back to considering Nathan took his nap, Dennis was watching the dogs and the handyman was doing what he was doing. I almost didn't want to look when I came home. 

No cuts. It is installed. He found a solution. The faucet is wonderful though after much use, I will tell you. There is a significant difference with water pressure with a commercial faucet vs a laundry or kitchen unit - significant. It's not too hard but should be a dream to remove product out of the coat. We shall see.

I took Brewer in swimming today. He is a good swimmer but I think today it was so hot they enjoyed inside the most. Can you blame them?

I am so glad the sink is over - hooray!!

Thanks to Sherry for Costco and the company. I do believe they shut off the air in Costco. Geez

I think they did too. It was really warm. Sink looks even better in person. It’s awesome!

Can I say WOW! Just gorgeous, and that includes the whole room! My doggies like being in the new larger sink, they settle down so much easier for their baths. Yours will be so good with all the puppies. Hope the faucet meets your expectations.

Wow great looking sink, I will have to bring Meelo over soon for grooming and possibly a swim, I think he needs to have a good run and play with everyone!

It is truly beautiful. Darlah I am sure you will be so happy and you really deserve it. How exciting to have what you really wanted. Yippee. I love it. The cabinets look great. I couldn't imagine it and hoped for the best. It is! Congrats.

Darlah I was catching up on the blogs. What a fall you had! How are you now.?

Finally! Pablo said that he is definitely coming over to give that set-up a work out!

Pablo is so cute!

I am better but my wrists hurt too much to swim or groom at the moment. I tried swimming laps today and that ended fast.

Jyou have a lot of swimmers this summer. It looks so cute seeing a pool full of pups! Any of these pups Roxie or Kat?

Wow, everything looks great Darlah! I'm happy the sink got installed no problem. May you enjoy it to the fullest, and the doggies too :-) Great photo of Pablo in the pool!

Anne: It was hit or miss. Sherry and I laughed about it. He was watching Youtube videos on how to install on MY computer. At least he is proactive in learning. He also went to Powell Plumbing so they could tell him. Nathan was napping - guess it wasn't his sink. If he had cut the flooring of the cabinet, I would have been very upset. What's the sense of having a cabinet if unusable. I am so glad it turned out. Just hoping my hand feels better enough to use it. I have a dog going home tomorrow earlier than expected. Thought I had the weekend to heal. Now to find a stopper that works.

Just looked at the gallery, amazing to see all the dogs in the pool having such a great time. Also looked at your grooming room pics, everything looks so good, you must be happy 😊

Absolutely fabulous pics of the dogs and humans having fun in the pool, fantastic! The pics can only be beaten by those of your great grooming room. That’s what you need for sure. Bathing all the dogs you bath really requires the best and it looks like you now have it.
