Wet Noodles

Here is the gallery.

Yep, we are all drips as it has been raining. We get out and we get wet and well we get to be a mess. We are trying to keep Lachlan clean as redoing him may be a big job but at least the dogs are playing indoors and having fun. Each time it stops, Dennis takes them out and then it pours and he brings them back in. 

As I am typing, the sun has come out brightly for the 1st time today. Now, as I am typing, it is cloudy again. You can't win. 

No matter the weather, we still enjoy!

Who Fell In?

Here is the gallery.

Well Rain fell in and Sage jumped in. LOL I had to wash and dry them after. One wonders why I don't take a bunch in? I am allergic to the extra work. 

Today it is Dennis day off. Tomorrow is Nathan's. They say that this is the last for a week of warm weather. 

Dogs had a blast. 

Hazel was biting the hose water while I watered. She loved it. 

Mabel and Velvet are really enjoying themselves with the 4 Kershaw dogs. We have not seen rabbits for a bit. We do see cardinals, bluebirds and bluejays. Lots of dragonflies. 

Despite it being his day off, he played hide and seek with the dogs. He hasn't done that for a bit so they were so delighted!

Bad Weather Coming?

Here is the gallery.

Here is Ellie gal as happy as a clam. Coco was here too and they had a blast.

We had a couple of new dogs that arrived and a couple more tonight. 

It started out cloudy then hot now we are waiting for a big storm. Dennis is betting on it so he doesn't have to water. LOL

I transplanted my tomatoes that we started over the winter and they already have tomatoes on them. They were looking mighty frowny - is that a word but perked up today. 

We have not seen any rabbits and Harlow was downright sad always looking but she is back home where they do have rabbits, I bet she is a happy gal!

We have Blue Jays, cardinals, bluebirds and a TON of bumble bees. The bumble bees confuse me. We always have some but this year is a huge uptick of them in my garden. They leave us alone and just flit here and there.

I still have 2 plants of aloe here free for the taking. I had 10 and 8 are now gone. One is a monster plants and one is a medium plants. If you want, let me know.

Dogs are enjoying this inbetween weather and we are awaiting 2 dogs to arrive. Then Nathan is getting me something so I can sit and watch FROM with Dennis. I just finished cleaning all the couch blankets so they can lay on me. Perfect combination.

Swim or Not

Here is the gallery.

Hazel can swim. Just not sure she likes it. We will have to take her in many more times to get her to enjoy. Socks was smooth sailing and wanted to go in again. 

I am finding Socks is a different dog since Hazel has come into his life. He is more playful, attentive and sometimes she drives him crazy but if she isn't he is checking on her to make sure she is okay. It is obvious they have this wonderful relationship. You never know with an older dog and a puppy but it works for them.

The Kershaw 4 is playing wonderful with a variety of dogs. When they 1st came here on their very 1st visit, they were more apt to be a cohesive group but that unfolded and they find relationships with incoming dogs to be quite enjoyable. 

Mabel and Velvet have been so loveee and fun to have around - truly!

Opus dad has a serious operation tomorrow so we hope for the very best for him in his recovery. Opus is enjoying!

Jersey has turned into a total play monkey. Everyone is having fun.

It was my day off and I managed to have some pool moments. It was a hot day!

Lounging

Here is the gallery.

These pads we got from Tenshi's mom and dad and they LOVE to lounge on them and I mean LOVE to. 

It's cloudy then sun peeks out and then cloud comes back in. 

The dogs are enjoying being in and out. 

I transplanted my tomatoes and they already have tomatoes red on them. I am amazed as it is early but thankful as I love tomatoes that I know have no pesticides.

Chiclet, Cody, Logan and Panda departs tomorrow and Jersey arrives. It is my day off. 

Everyone is having a blast. It is what gives us smiles - through and through.

In-between the Rain

Here is the gallery.

Well not many photos as it was raining - well still is off and on. We get these mini windows of time we can take them out. 

No gardener. No swimming. 

Yesterday was wonderful weather - just perfect. Oh well.

Dogs will go out but that rain comes and they go running for the house - well most of them do. 

It's a dawg day of making the best of it!

Happy Birthday and Play

It is such a terrible photo but our daughter took it. We had lunch out with some of the family. It was a good time but we were missing many. 

Here is the gallery.

The dogs were celebrating too. They had steak tonight - yum!

Tomorrow we have that person coming over to weed. Our son is coming over to help Dennis clean the car inside and out as a present. 

Nathan swam with just Ella and he brushed her out too. I do believe he enjoyed the day and he has leftovers to eat.

The dogs had a blast too. 

Visit and Fun

Here is the gallery.

This is Mac. We had his humans and his partners in crime visit us today - Raylan and Monty. We had not seen them since pre-covid. As they are all serious seniors - age is just a number - it was amazing to see them and their parents. We genuinely love their humans too.

It is Nathan's day off and tomorrow another day off as it is his birthday.Dear miss Bossy pants Coco - and I say that endearingly as it makes you laugh gave Nathan an amazing gift. 

Tomorrow he gets Hibachi for lunch and to see some of the family. Then later in the day our 2 sons will detail the van. It really needs it. He will be happy. 

On Saturday Ozzie departs (will be greatly missed) and on Sunday we have the guy who is supposed to weed and edge. We will see if he comes. Nathan tells me I need to supervise - really?

The dogs had a ton of fun today. 

T.G.I.F - may all of you have a splendid weekend.

Sun is the Best

Here is the gallery.

It's nice for the dogs to be out in the sun. They had a good time outside. Daisy is looking at me as if to say - WHAT!

Nathan went into the pool today but my face still hurts. I did not.

Today Donald Trump got found guilty. 

I may have to have a gin and tonic. LOL

Dogs are really a cohesive crew. They are enjoying each other. 

It makes me happy to see them happy!

It is Nathan's day off and that gardener is going to weed on Sunday. I will believe it when he shows up. LOL

Late in Day

Here is the gallery.

It seems to get warmer as the day goes on and too cold to swim during the morning. Soon I will be complaining that it is always warm. Make up your mind, Darlah.

I had high hopes for the day but it surely fizzled. Dogs did play and did have fun. We hacve not seen rabbits as of late. I wonder what that means?

Two of the sisters were here and had a blast. Socks seems to be playing with the older dogs and Hazel with the younger ones but Socks checks in on her. 

The 4 crew are having a blast. They are playing with everyone.

Sometimes Sunny

Here is the gallery.

Sometimes sunny - sometimes not. This was Magic after her bath and trim.

The dogs had a ton of fun. They also love when Dennis cuts down weeds and mini trees as they pick them up and have the others play chase me. It's a riot. Maybe it should be called Keep away.

No rabbit chasing today. Maybe the rabbits moved on or they are staying very hidden. 

I am doing a short blog today. I have a terrible headache that is going up my face. Maybe its not a headache. Time will tell but it is bad enough that I am going to hug the couch with dogs.

Another Rainy Day

Here is the gallery.

Not too many photos as it rained and Nathan didn't take photos. So, I did after grooming. 

Despite the rain, it finally stopped and they went outdoors to have fun and I clicked. 

This rain has to stop - please.

Sorry for the short blog. It is Dennis day off!

We Run, We Play

Here is the gallery.

Dogs had a blast. Our son came over and mowed the lawn with our new mower. We still need to find someone to weed. We can now see the dogs when they run on the grass. That's a bonus but I think they like it long. 

We have a busy week coming up. It is nathan's birthday this coming Saturday. It's a big one so we celebrate. The older you get the more you have to create memories. 

We have a number of visitors and they are having a blast. Keke departed, Jax too. Pingo went this morning. Logan and Panda departed and Sox and Hazel arrived. Ollie arrived for the day.

Everyone is having an absolute blast. 

Sherry took me to Costco and got some potted plants. I am not sure Dennis took photos of Murphy. hmmm Murphy departs tomorrow but I am not looking at my grooming list tomorrow. LOL I think it is a long day.

It Rained and Rained

Here is the gallery.

It rained and rained and now the sun is out. There was lots of wet feet, mud and play indoors. They had fun. I groomed and groomed.

Oh and the gardener didn't come as it was raining. Makes sense but is it raining tomorrow too? I hope not.

The dogs are having fun. I am eating nachos - 1st meal of the day. Good news with the rain - always something you can say is good - well no watering the pots. LOL But I think the muddy feet made up for it. 

No Gallery Day

Sorry - we had a great day but I handed the memory stick to Dennis after I thought I transferred and I hadn't transferred them. He ended up formatting so they are lost. 

It is ONE of THOSE days.

I planted some plants that I over winter in the house and I went to do another pot and one of the havanese dug up the 1st one. Oh my. 

I hope you forgive me. We all have days like this at times.

We tried to get our mower going. Tried is the operative word. I hope the gardener shows up.

Nathan is going out with his 2 brothers for lunch tomorrow to celebrate his birthday on the 1st. We are getting some of the family together on the 1st for lunch. He is going to have a fun week - tomorrow, Friday his day off and another day off on his birthday. Lucky guy! Best of all he will have extra dog snuggles. I will make sure of that!!

It's the Play

Here is the gallery.

Of course Ozzy is playing and playing with Chiclet.

Yes, the dogs managed to have fun today despite the warmth. Nathan said when did you put the air conditioning on. Amazing he just noticed. Tomorrow is Nathan's day off. 

Dogs were having a ton of fun today. I planted onions and garlic and lettuce in the trug. The dogs watched me intently. 

They lazed inside and outside.

Today Nathan said when did you turn the air on? He just noticed? Well, we have to be comfortable and so do the dogs. 

Don't You Just Love

Here is the gallery.

When a dog looks at you like this your heart melts - doesn't it?

It was a hot one. We had hail, rain, wind and sun again. Mother nature is having fun.

We had dogs depart. Dogs come. It's a full house but no dogs swimming today. It was my day off and well I didn't want to groom more than I needed to. :-)

The dogs had a blast!! I mean a total blast! Now they have eaten and are lounging in back with Nathan.

We found someone to do our lawn and weeding for $25 an hour. He starts on Saturday. It wasn't easy as everyone is booked. He is the most reasonable so we will need to tip him if he does a good job. It's only fair. I get that. I may be proud of my garden again. Who knows. LOL

Well back to the dogs. We have an amazing crew with us. They all enjoy each other immensely. 

They Do Like to Play

Here is the gallery.

Tuppy is laying next to Chai. Chai had a bath and so did Tuppy. Who thinks they look a mess? Now if you saw Maurey in that photo you would see how much he was mucking it up. Well, that is what happens when you are play monkeys. Jango arrived and they welcomed him in a huge way embracing him and getting him to play and then the rest did.

We have a slew of dogs departing today. Cassie the player departed already.

Tomorrow is my day off and I planned to look for 2 hanging baskets. Everyone tells me that they are slim pickings due to the long weekend. Guess I will find out.

Rue had to get spruced up as she rolled in the mud. Oh my - she looks good now but we will see for pickup. 

We got to see Nava. How gorgeous is she. 

The dogs are really enjoying the hose. The mud. They are kicking up the grass and we still are looking to a service to mow the lawn. The stuff is getting as tall as half my body. I am embarrased. I worked on the mower and can't get it started. :-( 

No one wanted to swim. Nathan and I got a short swim in. Will it rain tomorrow?

Sorry a Quick One

Here is the gallery.

Got 2 more dogs to do so extra small blog. Dogs had fun. Many departed - only Maurey arrived. Pingo, Maurey, Tuppy are running the backyard with Cassie. The dogs are a mess. Cassie departs tomorrow. She so needs a bath - like beyond needs one. Tuppy is no better. Pingo and the boys like to destroy each other's hair and I brush frequently. They are having fun. 

We need someone to mow the lawn. If you know of someone, let me know. Our mower does not work and I have no time. So, we need to hire someone. Hoping it is not too much. But our grass is really getting high. Let me know.

Our son came over to walk with Nathan. He needs to walk daily he is told - slow pace, small distance till he can go a bit further. So they took Rain and Hope. It's going to be an experience. Hopefully a healthy one. LOL

Well got to eat takeout as Nathan just got back and go back to grooming.

Warm Day

This is a mini golden doodle. I don't think I see any golden in her. She is visiting for a couple of days. 

Here is the gallery. I did manage to click.

The dogs did not react to her. She was a little nervous at first but getting much better. She is now playing. I swear she wants to jump in the pool. Oh and Cassie did but no one else. I said no to her and it is as if she said - who said! I wanted to swim but it is Dennis day off and I had a record breaking amount of dogs to wash and groom so tomorrow - tomorrow. I will start grooming at 730am tomorrow and hopefully be finished by noon so I can get a swim in. I earned it - oh boy I have earned it.

While Nathan napped, I had all the dogs with me in the hall while I groomed. 

I think I am too tired to type - if you c an believe.

Rue is playing like crazy - bravo Rue. A number of dogs went home. More depart tomorrow and yet more on Tuesday. Wednesday is my day off and I may drop dead - okay not literally.

Anyone see any hanging baskets that look nice locally? Let me know where. I never have time to look but if I know where I can make the time to get 2. I am on the hunt - but if you are too and see - drop me a line!

Sorry - I am tired but everyone had a blast!
