Muddy and Cold

This is how you get dirty 10 minutes before you are picked up. Dennis can't help himself. He says the dogs must enjoy even if you just washed them.It wasn't these two but everyone cause - why not!

Here is the gallery.

You should have seen Kally before her wash and groom. Oh - you will in the gallery. What a personality along with Jersey. One looking like they just ran through the wringer and the other laughing her head off. The house is emptying. The mud is wet out back. Each year I think riverstones and it never happens. It's only me washing and washing again so silly of me not to do it. Remind me in spring, please.

I have to say the dogs have an outstanding time.

Dennis is blowing leaves. You see pool closing is booked till November. It will be our latest date. Sometime this winter I will buy a new chlorinator as it will be on sale in the dead of the winter. Our gas line will probably go underground next year. Just too costly and getting too late in the season. Our plants are all in - well the ones that we are saving. Call me nuts but I feel bad for those that will die. It is what it is. I replanted pots before coming indoors. This cold is brrr... I hate cold but we shut off our air and do not have the heat on yet. We won't need it till pups arrive. Lots to get ready.

Some of the dogs that visit saddle up to Dennis. He sneaks them treats for the ones that can have and he plays their most fave game running around like a crazy guy while they run after him. They so love it. You should try. He says he always feels good after it for many reasons.

Seems you got a Congo line happening at #46,lol!
So painful to watch them go thru the mud,dirt,leaves right after a bath, give me a couple of days of them clean, then 'go play' your hearts out!

Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Benny while we were away. We can tell he had lots of fun, plus looks great after the grooming!

Haha. This explains Daisy today. She was a little messier than usual but was clearly living her best life. Thanks again for having her and giving her such fun days!

Laura: Like a target - oh mud - let's run through it. She did have an amazing time.Enjoying life is so important.

Georgia - our pleasure. I am so glad we got to see him and that he had a great time.

Dorothy: It was a futile attempt keeping them fresh looking but the tradeoff is they had fun. Me, I kept attempting to clean feet and undersides.It's so important that they have fun.
