Happy Mother's Day

Here is the gallery.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms. It is strange not doing 4 blogs. It is strange not working till 1130pm. It is strange not being so busy that you make mistakes. It is strange not having the pups except Yoshi.  Then we had Yoshi crying yesterday missing everyone. I think it is easier for those that go home as they have a new environment. There are no huge reminders of a loss. Plus she had to adapt to all the adults - ours and the visitors as they had to adapt to her. She did eat half her kibble so not too stressed.

Today the dogs rallied around her. Chai started playing with her. She found she could go through the gate bars. She  is no longer fussing as she adapts.

She loved having Coco the maltese here as it was someone of size. Coco did play with her at times. Other times Coco wanted to play in Dennis lap while he was on the computer playing games. We are all doing things we haven't had time for in 10 weeks. 

The dogs are playing like crazy outside as the weather is perfect for that and the xpen is now down giving them more room. Nica loves Chai, Chai loves Yoshi so the 3 play together. 

Life is good for the adults and pups. Tomorrow back to grooming. LOL I also can make Chai's Whos Walking Who class for the 1st time.

Today I slept in till 730 and then took a leisurely shower. We went to Winners where I got a few things. We also went to Canadian Tire to buy a fry pan. The last one Nathan bought was warped and he didn't even realize it till Dennis went to use it and boy was it warped. I think he has been overtired too. We then went and bought a BBQ as 3 of the burners were not working and you can't buy parts for this model Weber. Nathan said it is for both of us but he uses the BBQ not me. Nice try, though. Best part it is coming tomorrow or next day assembled. Dennis was none too happy when he thought he would have to assemble. 

The daughter is taking me out next Saturday for Mother's Day. The son comes tomorrow to help put furniture outdoors, move the couch back into this room from upstairs - all for mom's day. I got a gorgeous plant from one son and a flower arrangement from a son in the states and my daughter-in-law - one of the best!

Never got to the Farmer's market but this weather and buying plants - should wait.

Off to Dairy Queen for a sugar attack. I so miss the pups but downtime is nice too. I hope they all brought a memorable day to their new families.
