Quiet Today

No rain today so there is a lot of sniffing going on. Benny is on the right. He's over 16 and he's the dog you hear barking in the videos. He barks for his food. He barks to go in or out. He's just a vocal guy. He wasn't eating at home but he is eating here. I hope it continues at home. He departs tomorrow.

Here is the gallery.

Nathan is at a dog show and won't be home till 830pmish. So, it is just Dennis and I. 

Dennis is about to take the dogs out again. They had tv time in the afternoon today. I think that confused them. LOL It is good to mix things up. 

Miss Olive departed this morning. Her fave dog was Riley. Riley and Pepper were also best pals. 

I think because I have been sick, I am finding the galleries - 5 of them too much so I am looking forward to when they are all together. We shall see how that goes.

Kinsey really loves the Tempie pups but she loves all dogs - but especially the puppies. 

Miss Murphy was combed out and looked at me as if to say really? All the dogs are funny - really comb out again? 

It's been a day - a good day! I am not whole but better.

Dennis is throwing beds, blankets, toys etc in the laundryroom. He does this often to make sure everything is fresh. I am now on load 10. Really?

Always so happy to see pups like Benny. It means even at 13, there might be lots of time still for me with Ripley♥️

Darlah, I just don't know how you manage to do all this, so many pups, grooming and then Dennis gives you laundry. Oh forgot, Nathan's not even there too.
Super woman Darlah.

I have to say it was hard. Add Benny into the equation - do not feel like superwoman. Feel like defeated women. Today is crazy too but easier than yesterday. To top it off Nathan's brothers and wife came and brought swiss chalet. It set me behind. But it was nice. I had a visiting dog pee on my fridge while they were here.

I so appreciate Benny’s barking! Lol. He seems to know how to say what he needs. My 1st Bichon was same. Barked when needed out. Barked when wanted in. Although she politely waited for meals. Next Bichon expected us to know. So does Laci. She’s smart, but expects us to know these things. Love the different personalities. It would be boring otherwise.
