Halloween Day
Sunday, October 31, 2021 at 3:42PM 
We hardly get any trick or treaters and tonight we will be shutting off our lights as the dogs really dislike the ringing of the bell constantly so why insist on irritating them. We have been so busy, we have not had time to get candy besides. I think last year we had 2 kids. So lights out. Sounds selfish - I know but I care about bombarding the dogs with the door. That's my take. What are you doing?
Winston arrived today for a short stay. Kally and Rocky departed. Dogs here for grooming will depart. Dennis is now in bed till 10pm. I have been so busy that I have been unable to update blogs.
I almost had a meltdown today. I do not have my comb that helps me demat and I had dog to demat so my hand is on fire. The comb has been discontinued. Sherry came to the rescue and is bringing me her comb. Now that is a true friend. I usually get through it but with juggling, pups, grooming etc..... well it will pass. I so worry about pups at this stage. I watch them on my ipad while grooming. Even when there is nothing to worry about, you just do. Much responsibility with dogs and pups. I take it serious. If the dogs aren't having fun, I am not happy but they have been having fun so I do smile. Good news, they are always having fun and why not. They do not have to do anything but rest, play and put up with my grooming. To be a dog - at least here... the best!
Hope you all have a Happy Halloween. It's time to feed the dogs and I need to help as Dennis is sleeping till 10. Look forward to taking a non groom day weekly and maybe a day off when the pups are 5 or 6 weeks old. It can't be a full day off as this is the play upstairs fun time at that age.
PS: Dennis did do the run game with the dogs. Thank you no rain!

Haha! We also close our lights on Halloween but we don’t have the excuse of dogs being bothered by the doorbell. Even though you sound madly busy with all the work you have on your plate, it is so reassuring how much care you take with your dogs and litters
Jodi: Good for you. Something about lights out fun is enjoyable too!
We are doing lights out this year as well. The kids being back to school having not been vaccinated yet along with us being seniors… next year, I hope.
We still had knocks and dogs barking. Poor Dennis is trying to sleep for night shift
We take turns sitting out on the porch, no doorbell to deal with, but I do let the dogs come out to see some of the kids they know, they're now back in the house, been there, done that. They are now tuckered out. Passing out treats with tongs.
That must have been a very good comb, I've heard you mention it before, interested in the make, I just have 2 routine dog brand but also a German carbon comb, for humans, Hercules, got it at a Beauty Supply store, but it is so good for detail work around the face and mat splitting, no static.
Funny, some of the kids recognize my 2, most popular doggies in the area.😊
We put a table out with pumpkins and a sign saying, “Happy Halloween! Have fun!! Help yourself to a bag!” Was the honour system. When all were gone, were gone. Didn’t matter.
What beautiful puppies you have! Many happy families to love them in the near future! 💕
