Kitchen and Outdoor Play

Sherry asked me to ask what booties you are using - brand - where to get them as the last ones she tried created mats. We do not use booties. They are good to keep the salt off their feet especially in the city where its plentiful in the cold weather.
I started cutting down Riley as I am always proactive when pups are coming and you have no clue when that may be and then I realized she doesn't depart for another week. Oh well now all I have to do is bath and shape. That is okay too. I think I need more coffee. Being on wait for an impending birth means a lack of sleep always. Everyone else sleeps but me.
Nathan is getting the Keg tonight. We have 2 gift cards that we were holding on to for quite sometime and Nathan will do pickup. What a treat.
First he has to take Abby to the vets for her shots. Lucky him in the traffic at this time.
We bought more masks so if in need, we do have some at the door.
The dogs did not want to be outside too much today. It was windy cold.
Someone asked if we let the dogs outdoors by themselves. Although our backyard is safe (we have connected yards) and we check the area daily. Yes, meet my OCD son who feels better when he walks the fence line and I am glad he does. Nathan does it too. We ALWAYS go outside with the dogs. You see, how can you tell if they have an output issue. How do you know how they are interacting with each other. How do you know if they slip and hurt themselves etc. I know a lot of people open their door and just let them go. I get it - it is easier but by monitoring the dogs, you can stay on top of things and not assume. That makes me feel better. Besides, you couldn't take photos and you miss a LOT of fun by hibernating. I know - it is winter but fresh air is a good thing.
The dogs had a run today upstairs with Dennis. It is too icy outside. They have fun either way.
We have Fudge, Riley and Abby playing so much that they napped with Nathan out cold for a couple of hours. Dogs are always invited to nap with Nathan daily but it's very important for puppies as they don't usually pace themselves by taking naps. They are just too excited. Can you blame them. But when they hit that bed and see others napping, they do too.
Levon decided the cold was - well cold. He peed on the pad when everyone was going out and then turned away from the door. LOL
If you really watch the dogs - they are comical at times. You will find your laughter every single day no matter how bad it is. Dogs - well they are special and your heart swells with a good feeling - if allowed. Do allow. You will be glad that you did.

OMG Abby looks like she is having such a blast! Can't thank Nathan enough for taking her for her shots for us while we are bogged down with work travel this week. And I love the photos of Meadow you get with her grandpa Truffles! They are twins!
They are definitely indoor dogs, lol.
We always go out with our girl. Too many coyotes and agreed just like to keep an eye on what’s going on. So glad we have a look place with you all to bring her to that feels safe and FUN for her.
I don't have a fully fenced backyard. So when Bailey goes out, she is always with one of us. We usually take her for a walk to the park.
Yes, this place is always safe and fun. To say we love the dogs is an understatement. I think they get treated better than the humans. :-)
Pippa: That works and I bet fun for her.
Shannon - you know that about them, eh? LOL
Even in the summer, if i want to sit in the heat, they’re both standing at the door to be let into the air conditioning. Lol.
We always go out with our 2, coyotes, hawks,(they could pick up Pixie) and then there are skunks. Yes, checking the output is important, don't want to wake up too early to let them out in am, 'sleep in you guys'🤣
Also we can monitor them should they go off, ie ill, tummy ache.
Darlah, Max will send you a picture of the kids's booties when he lands. I bought them on Amazon and Ines has nr. 2. I hope Sherry and Murphy will be as happy with them as we are.
Carmen thanks so much for the boot info! Murphy was matting with the Canada Pooch boots. I ordered them!
Sherry, it is my pleasure. Glad to help you.
