Muddy Times

This is my floor after ONE outdoor adventure. We clean after each and then it returns. It's actually a joke. It makes me want to cement my entire yard in. Yes, I am serious. After each, I need to do feet and under carriages. Then we place the dogs in the hall after clean till the floor is clean then we start again. It's about a 6 times a day event. That floor is normally cream. So, if you see photos with dirty floors, it is what it is till we get everyone done. Fun?

Here is the gallery.

I so need to relax even for an hour but got 2 more dogs to groom. Dennis will do the pups playing when I groom. Nathan will watch tv with the rest of the dogs, I suppose.

We had a Sage visiting session today and I had been grooming up till they came. I looked in the mirror after they departed. Nathan is nicely clean but I had hair stuck all over me despite grooming clothes and well even though I had a shower last night I so needed one today so I said the rest will wait. Usually I take a shower just before bed as that is when I have time. Nathan takes his first thing in the morning. Dennis fits it in when he can. Cause I groom so much, I prefer before bed cause I am cleaning all day. I had to laugh though at what these people must have thought. 

I am back being hairless and clean till Dennis hands me more dogs to clean. It's our life with visitors and a rainy winter. I seriously need and want powder snow.

Dogs had fun as you will see in the gallery minus the mud on dogs like Harlow and Bailey who I swear swam in the mud. They had to have a full bath. Ollie walks around outside being ever so careful not to get dirty. I so laugh. He's not the only one. I suspect the dogs are hating the rain as much as I these days. I so want a removable dome over my backyard. Can you imagine having that?

Relationships are strong with the dogs. Coco the maltese is still the Queen. She so believes it through and through and I swear she smiles when she says - no - it is my spot, my human - my...

I could go on and on about everyone but I won't. I have cleanups to do, I am told. Back at it. Can we have NO rain for a week, please?

Enough - back to work.

Yes - she is having a blast. Every single dog here is. Just an amazing group of dogs. They truly enjoy each other and the play!
