Happy Father's Day

Here is the gallery - mostly humans - sorry but dogs too.

It is a long day but we are interrupting it with feeding dogs and the blog. We had some family here.

Dogs appreciated the tv room and air conditioning. 

Poor Kinsey had to deal with Cassie pulling her tail relentlessly but we redirected and said no. Just like the pool she didn't listen till we kept it up until she went - oh can't do that. Kinsey was beside herself. I finally put Kinsey inside and visa versa but good news, she is no longer eating the pads. Yes, she tried that out for size. We will try her with Kinsey again and again and again unless Kinsey gives us signs that she has had enough. Cassie is no longer jumping in the pool but wants to. So.... we are making headway. She so loves to have fun.

It was the 3 stooges this week with Gus, Cassie and Yoshi - all siblings. I am glad that we have Cassie here. We have a chance to give her boundaries as she is a step over the line dog. The grandkids loved all the pups but especially Cassie as she was and is so full of it. Yoshi can handle Cassie. Gus has departed.

Noah and Zoe had enough of people and activity so they went into the tv room with me for a bit of time even with company. You have to watch the dogs when you have company and know what their needs are. They were not the only ones. Each dog that was showing signs they wanted rest and quiet time got it. 

All and all it was a great day.

Thank you to the Maisels for a lovely plant.

We may have to replace our pool filter - sigh. It was still swimmable just shooting out sand. Always something.

Katie is still with us. They want to move Ruth elsewhere. She now has a roommate as they needed the single room. Her gangrene is spreading. 

Tomorrow I have a full day of grooming. Hoping to get dogs in the pool here and there and 4 dogs depart.
