Dogs Keeping Me Going

Here is the gallery.

It is my day off and I really really needed it but not meant to be. Feels like a regular day. I had to wash a dog that is going a day earlier. We are non stop dealing with the hospital and caretakers and Ruth. I am barely sleeping but the dogs are amazing.

We had a visit from someone that is having their dog stay here. It is a Raven pup. It's been years but he gave me a lick on my face and knew me. He didn't react to Nathan. Maybe he likes women best. Think Nathan was sad about that. But he will come and a light bulb will come on. It's rare that this happens.

Told Nathan due to this crappy day, I want buttered popcorn from the movie theater. We shall see if that occurs. Tomorrow I have a highly busy grooming day. I have yet to eat. Think that is stress. I have a headache but I so love the snuggles the dogs give me. I played retreive with them. That was a riot with who will get the ball first.

I so need a break. Soon Nathan will be at a dog show for 3 days in a row and Dennis and I will be carrying the load. 

Pool still broke. Yoshi went in the pool herself - 1st time for that. The gal with the skinny legs. The pups can't get enough of each other. 

Magic stopped playing in the water bowls. Tuppy started doing that too but learned fast - no we do not appreciate. If this pool gets fixed before he goes home, maybe we will take him swimming and call kandoo at the same time. Not hopeful but hopeful - if you know what I mean.

Hi Darlah- during COVID hubby and I would Uber eats an order of theater popcorn- they may still offer that service!

Re Nathan and dog show- is he judging or showing? Wouldn’t mind knowing more details about the show, if can line up with our schedule to go see it. Bonus would be Havanese kisses when they’re done 😊

So sorry it is a difficult time for you. I’m glad the dogs are giving you comfort. Thinking of you.

Kim: Nathan is working the show. It is the Markham Kennel Club. Send him mail and he will be happy to tell you how to get there. Tuppy's mom and dad ubered us some. I need to uber them something. :-)

Fiona: This is a ride I do not wish on anyone.
