A Day Off
Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 2:27PM 
See what a day off is like - well a semi day off. Still have pups, blogs, cleaning, laundry but a no groom day says I can blog at this time and be done. Amazing. Now only if the pool was warm enough. Last time I checked it was in the low 80s so maybe tomorrow I can swim. We shall see. I have groomings tomorrow but a quick 30 minute swim may help this back and rejuvenate this soul.
Harlow has been chasing the squirrels with the rest of the dogs. It has become a real game. It surely expels their energy.
Misty is excited that she is no longer in heat. She is playing with all today and quite happy. Raven finishes soon. No one else has come in yet. Maybe we will have sometime to swim this summer. I certainly hope so.
We went out yesterday - Nathan and I to do curbside for starter mousse for the pups to eat. We go through a lot so eventually we will be softening up fromms and they will make that transition but moms like it too. We can get 48 cans and it may last a week or a week and a half. Feeding pups and moms is costly when you have 15 pups. It is also hard to get so he had to go to 1 store then another. We are making it work.
I find it interesting as I see about 50% with masks and 50% without. I thought I would see a higher number yesterday but it was not the case. Yesterday was the 1st day for stores with curb exposure to open up. the mall was closed tight. No school for the rest of the year. We got Swiss Chalet and their takeout window was open. Delivery guy was masked up with a cool mask, I may say. My fave Shwarma place still closed. I so hope they open up eventually. Not another near us that is decent that I am aware of. It may force me to try others further away but I so like my local - people and food.
I have to start transplanting my plants but not today. I need a down day.
We are mulling taking the pups out again. The weather - well its great. I may sit outside now that the blogs are done and watch on my ipad when the pups wake up. Got to take advantage of the moments that you can.

Glad you had a nice day :)
My 2 neighbors are both in the thick of covid work, 1 a public health nurse, other physio therapist redeployed as 2nd tier screening, both say this reopening is too soon, they are seeing everything as it happen and we are still seeing lots of positives and deaths.
Please everyone, continue to wear both masks and gloves and shields if you have them and donning and doffing correctly. People have become complacent, they think its over, they're not reading the news of the new outbreaks around the world.
I've seen lots without masks,gloves, not a very wise decision, our extended family is limiting all interactions to the absolutel minimum. I'm not even sure if my dad has seen his newborn great granddaughter.
With 2 family members directly involved as front line workers I worry about them constantly.
On a lighter note, I think I have most of my vegs planted, when do you want your cilantro plants😉 and I'm riding this Sunday 1st time in months👏
Let me know how much and any day. We are here. I am going to try swimming tomorrow though I do have grooming to do. Still, if the pool is warm enough, I am going to see if it makes this back feel better.
By the way, Tenshi's mom is front line, Winston's dad - his son is as well... on and on. We have a lot of front line workers here. Nathan's brother is head of maintenance at CHEO in Ottawa. He does the work too so his employees do not have to in a particular ward. We often forget about those that sterilize and clean in hospital settings. We do wear masks when out. Many were not yesterday but if you are 6 feet apart and outside you are considered safe. So, our next door neighbout was crying as she didn't see her grandkids so they came over yesterday. She looked out the window as they rollerbladed and yelled to their grannie. Today our son came over. He's been at the gilfriends as he wrecked his leg skiing and then covid hit. He came over to get his car that has been sitting out front as he starts working Monday. His girlfriend stayed with windows up far, far away. Our son came in, got his stuff and stayed about 12 feet from us. We are not sick, He's not sick. I haven't seem him in what felt like eons and I couldn't hug him. I am really sad about it. I hope that doesn't last for a long time. We are so disconnected.
