Emmy had a good day today - tail up, playing. This week we happen to have a full house plus relatives, kids and all that jazz. It has been a crazy house. Tomorrow it starts emptying out. I thought she would loosen up when that occured as she wasn't playing much though would lean against Harlow or Oakley or Mr. Bean. The odd dog that hadn't been here for a long time due to the pandemic was also cautious but eating. Emmy ate with the crowd.
It's like getting invited to a party but you don't know many and finally you connect. This process is good for the dogs as they gain trust. It bodes them well when they meet dogs they do not know in the future.
People ask about swimming. Sometimes we take the dogs in and sometimes not as I always have to comb them out after to avoid knotting and dry them. It takes time. We had way too many humans in the pool this past 9 days. Tonight we are feeding our grandkids and our son and daughter-in-law are doing errands. They decided to drive back tonight. It is now 545pm and they were supposed to be back at 530pm.
So, tomorrow we have a 70% chance of rain and I have a full day of grooming for the dogs that are departing. We will miss the family but we may not have to hold our eyes open after days of exhaustion. Nathan plans to stay in bed till noon. Tomorrow is his day off and Dennis and I will handle everything and bonus if it rains Dennis doesn't have to water the plants.
The dogs will have more room on the bed come tomorrow night and I will yearn for Tuesday to rest these hands and body.
The dogs are fascinated with Hallie's pups. Jamie is a riot as he tries so hard to play with them but they are not old enough. All the dogs seem to be enjoying seeing them. Something magical about pups.
The dogs had a fantastic day today!
