Fun and Corona

Well fun and Corona should not go in the title together but it may of grabbed your attention.

Pippa brought her baby to share with us today and you can see her in front of Tempie and Hallie enjoying her time. I must say Pippa is doing something magic with her hair as its delightful to touch. Bravo!

Here is the gallery.

Thank you goes to Sylvia and her husband (who forgot to tell her how much I liked them - hubbies)  for the gorgeous bows that I get to share. Deepest appreciation. We will miss Tenshi this month. Sylvia is doing the nurse thing - wow bravo - and Will has been told to work at home. Thank you goes to Ozzie's mom and dad who brough me Purdy's cherry cordials - oh my gad so nice and brought Ozzie despite not going away. Thank you for the tip! We have been deeply hit financially due to Corona and so this title Fun is one of being feacetious. Thank you to Dorothy, the 2 hairy ones (yes Pixie and Leo are hairy due to Dorothy's grooming skills) and her husband for lightening our load when we were drowning is stress. Deepest, deepest appreciation.

This was my day off and off and on I spent the time with Kat in my arms having laboured breathing. Now he is sleeping soundly and he ate a small amount of food and kept it down. I waffle between its time and there is hope. I wake up each day - as much as I can sleep not knowing what the day will bring. Not trying to be dramatic but accurate, I am afraid.

The dogs are really having a blast. I make sure they have fun no matter what is going on and they do. They are like children oblivious to whatever as we make sure they are. Therefore they make us laugh no matter what and that's a win/win.

A shoutout to those that went away early on before this craziness and are now stuck somewhere. I went outside and played with the dogs in a light jacket just to feel alive. It is still cold but boy just standing outside feels good. Tomorrow I groom all day with my window open. I don't care what the weather is. We need an exchange of air. It gets hot in the grooming room.  Soon spring and perhaps all of this will be over. Here is hoping!

We have 3 moms pregnant. Not tested yet as its too early but now Stormy has started eating half her breakfast in the morning. The other 2 not. But they are a bit later than Stormy. So, we are all on schedule for spring puppies. May it be warm by then!

Honestly, I was on the look out for a HUMAN baby, no it's Bailey, real silly of me! We've had 2 babies in the family in just the past year so my mind automatically goes searching, lol!

Hahaha, yes, Bailey came for a visit!

I think Bailey just has that aspect of "Je ne sais quois" as I do not do anything special to her hair except brush it regularly! So I guess that's just her! It's so interesting how Havanese can have such variations in coat texture.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Bailey today -- she is absolutely pooped now and from seeing these photos, I can see why! So glad my baby girl had an absolutely lovely time with you guys as always! I will bring her back again regularly! :)

This has been an awful week, but hearing about Kat’s present condition is just my limit. I’m going to have a good cry and just hope for the best. Hugs to you all, Darlah. Such difficult times and difficult decisions.

I can't believe that there is so much tragedy. Beautiful Kat. It breaks my heart. What a nightmare. I seem to have a few. Please give him a big hug from me. And to both you and Nathan.

Ronnie: With all that is going on, we will have to do dinner when this is over. They are now talking about closing takeout.

Sue: Yeah...need a miracle to get him through. Really doubt he will make it. It is like someone ripped my soul out and is trouncing on it. Yes, excited about pups but between March Break being a bust - thank you all that helped - truly - and deeply thank you, Corona and Kat...wow - overload to the max. I am thankful for our puppy people and the dogs. You are all special. If you need something - I am there - honest! We all need fun at the end of this - someway - somehow! but Kat - one in a million. He is who started all this swimming business. Going to be sad swimming this year.
