Cold Out Today

Here is the gallery.

As it is just before the holiday, I was doing a ton of grooming today. I still have no videos or photos of the puppies so I am very behind. 

Rosey's parents brought Dennis a Steam card and he is mega delighted. He rarely gets anything so he was so excited. A Steam card allows him to buy VR games - which is loves!

Nathan has not opened his and well I got a huge fave Purdys - dark too! Best of all, I got to see the 3 of them!

Ronnie brought us chicken pot pie and I am looking forward to it after I am done grooming and puppy play with photos etc

Dennis took the photos in today's gallery but didn't take many. 

My coffee maker died today and Nathan is heading out to get a new one. I hope he remembers a filter. LOL So no coffee for me today and strange I am dragging.

We are getting a full house due to the holidays. Each dog gets along with the other. It is wonderful. Barney just arrived! I got to see Farleigh for a groom. It was wonderful to see him and his human. Thank you for the grooming tip!

Tenshi departs tonight all freshly groomed and Maggie arrives.

Well, the dogs are doing a hide and seek game with Dennis so I have to take the pups upstairs myself. Then I get to do their blog. 

Let it Snowball

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are not crazy about wet snow. It simply just sticks to them and makes them very unhappy. I get that. They are now at the point if I go to rinse them, they go hide. Think they have had enough. I do not blame them. So, they melt all over - so puddles. I do not see any snow in the foreseeable future but rain may be back. Strange winter.

I want to thank Rochelle for 2 gift cards and chocolates from Atoosa. Most appreciated. 

We have many dogs coming over the holiday season. 

I am still falling asleep mid day. My body is still playing recovery. Of course I sleep covered in dogs. Nathan goes upstairs with those that want to go and he has more room.

Mr. Lachlan has been playing up a storm. Ellie departed and was playing with Jax.Yoshi has been playing with the pups. Noah and Zoe own everywhere they nap or so they thing. LOL

It's been a good day!

It Snowed But...

Here is the gallery.

We had a bit of a dusting. These pix were from this morning. The afternoon more decided the white stuff was not an issue despite the snowballs stuck to their hair that had to be rinsed off - dog after dog I did. LOL That part they were not thrilled with. 

Harlow sniffed and went back inside to use the pad. I laughed as she was not the only one. Was she the smart one as she didn't have to be rinsed? Perhaps if she had the foresight. 

Well this dusting despite the washes was better than rain and mud. Come spring, we are going to add river rock thick around targets.

I want to say thank you to Dorothy for the baked good and thank you to Tenshi's mom and dad for chocolate covered fruit.You have no idea how welcomed it is and deeply appreciated!

Now I am going to upload videos and maybe chill in a recliner. Dennis is making dinner for the dogs. 

Oh My Rainy Again

Here is the gallery.

I am sorry but I am busy cleaning feet and under carriages so if I am not getting photos but I will play catch-up tomorrow. It is one of those days.

Dogs are now chi lling and had a mad play session today - so far!

But know the dogs are having fun. Even if I have a bad day, they never seem to.

Rain Rain Rain

Here is a mini gallery that I took myself. It has been raining all day and none of the dogs want to go out. 

They are having fun inside especially Maltese Coco and Fudge. They are all interacting but those 2 play and play. 

Short blogging it as I have the visit on Nami's blog to do, Sage's crew and well my sleep has not sorted itself out.

Thank you truly to Alfie's mom for stopping by with chocolates to say sorry about Alanza. I was grooming Fudge at the time so sorry I didn't come to the door. Hope Nathan was okay. We are still teary. Think it will take time.

Not Many Still

Here is the gallery.

Dennis still did not take many photos and I was busy doing baths for pups and for adults. Sorry... then tomorrow is the puppy visit so let's say, I will take some come Monday daily.

I think Dennis is in a funk. Guess we all are but are trying our best. Playing with the dogs is more important than clicking but I realize its not for you. So, say me come Monday, I will pull up my boot straps if Dennis doesn't.

Despite all this, the dogs had fun today. They all maul Nathan when he goes outside to read. They run around playing games with Dennis. I even see Dennis having fun playing games with them. 

All is good.

On another note someone had someone drop food off for us but the store deliverer didn't know who sent. We so appreciate it. Please let me know. It's been a struggle cooking o this was really welcomed!

Long Day

Here is a mini gallery.

It's already a long day and just after midnight. Want to say thank you to Tenshi's mom for the Purdy's chocolate cherries. Made my day. 

I vow to do better about the gallery. Just today has been hard but not for the dogs - well the past month has been hard. The dogs played and played. All need comb outs but not today. We will start in tomorrow. I need to catch my breath. Did get some groomed a bit ago but taking a break and having a stiff Hendricks gin and tonic with lime. 

I had a number of groomings - do for days now that my mornings freed up. The dogs will be happy to go to bed tonight. Dennis will watch the Sage's pups and in a week or so they too will go upstairs in a divided area and Dennis will go to his own bed. 

We have a great crew here. Already Christmas break dogs are coming. Well it's not the dogs but the people. 

We hope to have some holiday cheer here. The dogs deserve it. I guess we do too. Jeannie for the past month has sat at the door wanting to get to me downstairs. She and others will be extra happy. It's been a long time. Usually I am in bed by now for a couple of hours. Hope I can sleep tonight.

oh and Coco the Maltese is beside herself as Nathan is out getting his stitches removed and he is not here. How rude of him she says.

Update Here

No gallery today. Sorry - just a bit overwhelmed. 

Here are the duo chilling. They did play out today. Dennis forgot to tke but a few pics. We will do better tomorrow. But dogs are about to eat and then play a game of hide and seek. They always manage to have fun.

Play Hearty

Here is the gallery.

Where are the snow squalls? I guess no where here. That's okay. It gives the dogs a chance to play crazy.

Play, play, play that's all they do and don't you wish you were able to do this too? 

Fun of It

Here is the gallery.

The dogs had a ton of fun today. It wasn't warm but it wasn't cold. It was the perfect weather to run around and that they did. Then they came indoors and played more.

Mr. Tuppy departed and so did Lola. Soon Tenshi will depart. It's the lull before the Christmas break.

Greetings

Here is the gallery.

I update blogs as I can and when I can. When I finish, I finish. At this moment it is 1238am. So my updates may appear to cover yesterday's new plus today's news. It is the best I can do.

Thank you to Bailey's mom for jelly donuts and latkes. Yum!!

Dogs had fun today. Today - well, I feel trashed. Too many doorbells while I was trying to rest.

Update

Here is the gallery.

It is raining as I type so I expect dirty floors and dirty dogs. LOL 

This photo reminds me of jump for joy. That is what the dogs do in and out. It is a riot to watch and be a part of.

Hmmm

I am hopeful we will have more photos today. So far, not but here is one of Ollie and Ollie messy as ever.

Here is the gallery now.

We will see how the day unfolds. All I can say is the floors keep getting muddy and so do the dogs.

I am crossing my fingers 5 ways to Sunday that my ipad will get repaired today. We shall see. And it did - hooray!

I am blogging at 3amish. What strange hours I keep.

Dogs are having fun but it is muddy. 

Today

Here is a mini gallery.

Dennis has become stingy with number of photos but it is muddy and I get that. 

Dogs still had fun today but we need it to get colder and snow or freeze so our floors are not muddy and feet and under carriages do not need to be clean.

I am going to post my schedule as people are asking. I am doing groomings in the afternoon. I sleep from 730 till noon then 530 to 730-8pm. I feed every 2 hours and Nathan does the feedings while I sleep. I am feeding a finger tip of Mousse to Alanza each feeding. Nathan does not so far. Her bowels so far are okay. My goal is to extend her feedings to 3 hours vs. 2 but we are not there yet. So, there you have it. It is labour intensive. 

I do comb out dogs between. Do laundry - try to eat. I do give snuggles to the dogs.

My ipad is dead and in shop awaiting a repair. They said Tuesday. Nathan tried to talk them into tomorrow. We shall see. I use my ipad to take videos of the pups upstairs at night so trying to find a solution. Have a solution to see not record. 

Dogs, as I type are watching tv with Nathan. They really enjoy this part of the night beyond snuggling in bed.

It's a dawg day life here.

Just a Touch of Snow

We will be updating this blog after I get up from my sleep. For now we have a light dusting of snow on the ground. They are calling for icy rain. Seems like a bit more snow arrived as you will see in the gallery. I was able to watch during the night. Rain has not come yet.

Nathan cut his finger yesterday and had to have 4 stitches. Instead of a nap, he got to sit at a clinic in Thornhill as not everyone does stitches, it seems.

I am off to bed in an hour only to start the night again. It's another day but a fun day!

Today is the Day

Here is the gallery.

Sorry so late today but better late than never as they say.

Dogs had a ton of fun. Coco and Logan and Panda depart tomorrow.

Everyone is enjoying each other and I am about to feed a puppy. So - an update but a short one.

Freezing snow/rain coming tomorrow? Really?

Play Play Play

Here is the gallery.

This will be a short blog. The dogs have been playing like crazy. They are truly enjoying each other. Jax - much to Yoshi's irritation will be going home. They play so much, it is so nice to see. Ms Tenshi will also be departing. Harlow will like having her pillow just to herself or will she?

It's been a fun  day!

It's a Day

I will be updating this blog when I get up from my morning snooze. 

As we had to do trash and recycling and forgot till I remembered, Dennis was up extra late so I didn't get a nap in before this all nighter and the adult dogs that are sleeping with Dennis went up late. We were off kilter but I bet they get enough sleep to play like banshees when they get up today.

Day to Come

Here is the gallery.

We have dogs coming, dogs departing and I have groomings to do after I wake up. This blog may be late. Maybe it will be non existence except for this. It depends how the day goes.

I am updating before I head to bed.

1 grooming didn't come. I hope they are okay.

Dogs are playing in and out and enjoying the snowless day.

My schedule is I am grooming in the afternoon. I go to bed at 730am. I wake up about 12-1230. I do a 530pm feeding and then go to bed for a couple of hours then I am up from 8 for the night. I am not adjusting yet but trying.

I brush out a dog here and there. For instance Logan and Panda are departing shortly and I will brush them out before I go for my nap. Each time I find a wondow, I brush out a dog. It's a day.

We are managing but this is new territory.

It's a Day

Here is the gallery.

I started this blog in the wee hours. Dogs are now sleeping. I am awaiting 530am to do a feeding and looking forward to sleep. Hopefully I will be so tired I do not hear the door nor the activity in the house. 

We shall see.

I did hear all the activity and now I am trashed. This all night stuff is really draining me and I need to do the Nami pup play in the hall. Nathan is at Loblaws so I may be doing it alone. We shall see. 

The dogs mostly played indoors as we have had rain, rain and more rain. Dogs do go outside and come back in lookinging like I feel, I bet! It's a riot.

Another rainy day in paradise.
