Rain Yes Again

Mabel is getting out and about between the rain sprinkles. The dogs are growing weary about this weather. My to do list is growing.
Tonight prime back door. Tomorrow paint door. I can only do it after the dogs go to bed as the door gets used too much.
Considering we will have walls painted, backsplash in kitchen, new sink, desk, my closet - what else? Nathan to do the tv room, livingroom combo. We still have the pool house to do, Eaves troughs. Nathan mentioned the cabinets - not a chance this year. What else will we do? It seems we are consolidating. We will organize a bedroom downstairs with all the dog stuff for puppies - oh boy. Now it is in 2 rooms upstairs and they want it all placed neatly in a bedroom downstairs so we have our guestroom back and the puppy area they go into upstairs completely organized. I think this will be worse than my closet. My goal is to finish by end of the month so I have 2 weeks without lots of things to do before pups arrive.
I always wash my own dogs just before pups so everyone is clean before arrival plus my usual grooming. So - not totally off but no more daunting summer off - must get done projects. We will also have to bring in plants - order more lights - yikes! I need to put my trug to bed and all my strawberries and green beans that are still producing. Yum!
The dogs think I am nuts. Thankfully I take many breaks to play with dogs and Dennis, Jon and Nathan playing with them when I am doing crazy projects. Today we tested sit. Oh boy.... some immediate. Some - are you serious - okay I will now if you treat me.
One has to laugh when the dogs think they can pull the wool over your head. I know they all know sit. We will try it again tomorrow. Then we will move on to other things. I like to do something daily to work their minds. It is why we do find the treat, hide and seek etc We also do mind games to see who can figure out how to get treats and where they are. Running also expels energy and we do a lot of that. The dogs love it and we do it inside or outside depending on the weather. It must get them tuckered out as they come inside and take a nap. Nathan too. LOL I think its good for them.
Jessie and Kat is really feeling this rain. Nathan too. Murphy, Kat's brother plays and plays all day without a sign of arthritis.
Cinnamon is getting fat, Leti is rounding out - Raven to a lesser degree but she was the last to be bred. All have had morning sickness. Raven still, to a degree. It all unfolds!
The dogs have had a great day despite the weather!

I think you are too hard on yourself! I’m exhausted just reading about all the stuff you do! That’s a super long list of chores you are trying to get through. I’ve had one task - declutter a spare room closet - on my list for months now still not started. Take it easy....enjoy your pups before the new pups arrive!
I, too, am done with the rain. Boo.
