Interactions

Stone is such a sociable being. He plays with all including the pups. Here he is with Elvis. I was able to get Dennis in midstream taking photos. As I was finishing up grooming, he was finishing up clicking so I said to him next time you go out, take photos after they are groomed. He said why? He said cause dogs get messy, mom. Well you will see in the gallery befores and afters and afters did not stay beautiful beyond minutes. But that's okay. I know they don't have knots.

As you can see, Leti is getting more wide looking. She's a small gal. They are experiencing the morning sickness vomiting thing but they eat right away after it. Thing is Stormy did it at 3am and at 6am. I sorely needed a nap but instead I washed Truffie and Spirit. Tomorrow hoping to get Saffron done. Here there... pups coming soon enough. 11 days till xrays. Will we make it in time for Stormy or not? Time will tell and we have MUCH to do to get ready. We will start the weekend of the 18th. As one of our sons has a broken leg that seems to be not healing right (haven't seen him as he's isolated at the girlfriends as she can take care of his needs lol) we need Nathan to move furniture. Not sure about that but we have to do what we have to do. Got a couch and recliner to remove and it will not go upstairs as usual but in the front room interfering with Dennis VR gaming area.  Dennis tells me he can drag it with his dad so that's what we will do.

Nathan is making banana pancakes from maui that someone gave us when they visited. It has been forever - yum. That's our dinner.  The dogs are sniffing. I tried using a thermometer that checks your temps by pushing up against your neck. It's not accurate and totally not on the dogs. That would be easier if it was. I also use it to check room temps as the puppies need to stay at a certain temp when first born for 3 weeks till their bodies can regulated.

The sun is out. Rain coming Sunday and Monday. A friend said to me, this is the 1st year I do not have to buy an Easter dress that I hate. Small blessings in disguise, I say!

Dogs are managing to play games - find the treats - hide and seek and that fabulous run game Dennis does. They are happy we are back into that!

Leti gal is gorgeous! <3

If you need help moving furniture, I can put on a mask and gloves and help you out. Let me know if so!

Stormy's going to be Mom #1 -- I will be sending positive thoughts to her and the others for a smooth delivery. And yes, hope she makes it for x-rays!
