Pool is Open

The pool is open. It needs to clear up and it is snowing - yes snowing. Dennis is busy cleaning up the paths and tomorrow he tackles the back of the yard. It is starting to look good.
We got the dogs reacquainted with the pool. It is funny to have white stuff coming down after opening but better early than never!
Also - early days - NOT CONFIRMED YET BUT WE WILL LET YOU KNOW - but Raven and Cinnamon may be coming into heat. Can you believe it? If so, may have to breed them (in discussion) and no Ella or Spirit till next year as that will be IT! That would mean no leisurely summer pool time - yikes.
Now on to other fun things... it also means quiet September to December and who knows if there will be holidays in December. Time will tell.
Dogs loved the pool opening the leaves and debris getting piled up. Everyone got greenies today.
Poor Stormy is now having difficulty jumping up on the chair and couch as she learns to navigate life with a large tummy. Even stairs she has had to adjust to. She is the largest of the 3.
White stuff has stopped since I started to type. I am sitting surrounded by dogs, wrapped in a blanket. I refuse to put the heat back up but I may have to. The beauty of dogs is they keep you warm. LOL Here I was dreaming of warmer times.
My friend Sherry is making mats for the whelping box - 1 each that are reversible so it looks like 2 new ones. This way when pups are here, I take their first clean photo of them on it. She does such a great job too.
Dogs are now playing throw the kong and the treats spill out. Such excitement!

Throw the Kong sounds fun! So looking forward to the pups. Not long now!
It is. The treats go flying and so do the dogs. LOL
Doesn't Dennis say "Don't you know mom, it snows for my birthday?"
Happy early birthday Dennis🎂
Do you actually turn off the heat, you have said Nathan says either the house or the pool, 1 only? It's so cold.
We’re looking forward to seeing the pups too! A positive distraction is welcome for us all! 🙏🐶🐾♥️
Well no pool heat on now. You have to be crazy or rich to have it on with this weather and looked all week and the hottest it will get through the weekend is 11c. Nathan turned the heat down and well I turned it back up as wearing a jacket inside is crazy. Now it is just warm enough that you can sweatshirt it. That's okay but a winter jacket lol
Yes, Dennis always reminds me that it is always cold for his birthday or snowing. He was out cleaning the yard today complaining about allergies. He reminded me before pups its my turn. Sorry it is truly too early.
Aww more puppies!!! So exciting!
My neighbours across the street had their pool opened end of March, and their young kids have been swimming already and often (they're rich)🤑
Dorothy - they are NUTS! Just north of us is a house you can see from the trails. He literally has a bubble over his pool that is retractable and a walkway that is plexiglass in from the house to the pool and they use it all winter. I do not think the walkway is retractable. I have never seen it open but I have seen a roof off in summer over the pool. Some people have way too much money.
