The Play Of It

Look who is playing most any day too.

Here is the gallery.

The running joke is - been too long so my brain is foggy - is that Trigger is a play monkey and Levon is not. But its not so here if I have that right. Let me just say Trigger is Romeo - yeah that is right!

I am doing the blog early. It's my day off. Nathan is taking his usual nap with the dogs. Dennis and I want the next edition of Foundations to come out. What a cliff hanger. I am so enjoying that show.

I am doing a side business for dog bags (loot bags filled with goodies) for breeders. That is what all these crazy classes are about. I am doing another one on sublimation. I think I have etching down on metal and acrylic. I am learning and I always enjoy learning. HTV and vinyl - easy now.

Soon the dogs will be helping us take our plants in. We do that yearly to save buying new the next year and you get mature plants that way. It takes work as I don't want bugs inside so we change out the soil and one by one they come in. Not all - but most pots.

Another fun time is raking leaves. The dogs always jump through that and it makes for wonderful photos. I look forward to that and yes even to snow even though Nathan REFUSES to get a snowblower. He has this idea that its good for the body. I am so laughing.

Dogs have been having a great amount of fun today.

I am cooking a roast  and guess who gets leftovers?

I’m so happy Levon is playing! He can be a bit of a loner. Trigger had an abscessed tooth out about a month ago and they’ve been playing a ton since it healed.

Yup, I've been looking at my plants too. 😪 So much work, I don't change out the soil for the mature plants, maybe this year I should. And then juggling where to place them in the living room. The tubers of the cannas and dahlias with be dried off, this year includes an elephant leaf plant. I'll save more seeds from the Mexican sunflower plant, I was hoping to give you some seedlings but only 2 came up. They are massive and still blooming amazingly in the backyard.
With very little of new shows in production I've been watching old series on Netflix, ie Midnight Diner(I enjoy foreign films), Downton Abbey, yes, I am very behind.
Fall leaf raking will be late this year, there's little colour change and leaf drop.

Shannon: Interesting. Wonder why that removal created play. hmmm

October 6, 2021 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Dorothy: Sounds like a lot of work for you too. I leave my cannas in pots. It would take up less room but I do get winter blooms.

Wow that's awesome that you're doing this side business!!! Wow!

I’m afraid he may have been in pain before and avoided the mouthing. He’s been super playful since.

There is enough interest and an untapped market.

October 7, 2021 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I am glad you noticed it, Shannon. They need to be able to speak.

Have to look at the Diner one... I groom and use headphones and watch on my ipad suspended.

October 7, 2021 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Midnight Diner is Japanese with subtitles, might be difficult to groom and watch.
Stories are small vignettes of customers at that diner, interesting characters, funny at times, bonus you get a new recipe each episode🤣

2 other series that are EXCELLENT, Vienna Blood and Death in Paradise, both BBC productions. I heard The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is very good too, I have to watch that aswell.
