Getting Ready

Teddy just had his bath before the picnic. Now the trick is to keep him clean till then. :-)

Here is the gallery. 

Ollie departs tomorrow. He will be missed. Boy is he a Casanova. Must be due to the gals in heat. Leti and Stone tied today. I washed all the girls in heat about 5 days ago and they look like - well like they never had a bath in 10 years. Okay, that is an exageration but what gals in heat do is bite each others hair, mount each other and create knots. The bottom line is they make work for me. LOL

We are stilll working on the kitchen. Dennis had me buy a sponge mop so he can clean the ceiling without using a step stool. 

Kitchen walls will get painted on Friday. TV and front room where I have been storing things that have to go back - some will be stored, some will return to walls etc will be cleaned starting on Monday till it is done and then those two rooms will get washed walls and painted and that's ENOUGH! It will be done before pups. 

Next year we will see about doing the rest of the walls. Baseboards only partially will be done as I have to have one section removed so I know thickness to buy and then I will stain that. Dogs eating baseboards over the years has not been fun but one bad section was our late goldens. I have yet to hang a picture yet. I have to figure out what and where the studs are. 

No pool for the last few days. Just too busy. 

Boarders and our dogs are invited to the picnic so we hope to see you there. It is always fun. Remember it is NEXT DOOR at #25 not at Yvonne's old place. 

So come Sunday, I will be getting up extra early to groom dogs going home. Next week is insanely busy. I need heats over. LOL

Wow, crazy girls! Hope the heats pass soon. Hope you'll show pics of the kitchen once it's painted. Exciting times ahead!

Yup, I'm wondering how I'm going to keep my 2 clean, even for 1 day 😂.
