Day Off?

Here is the gallery.

It is our anniversary and we are hoping to fit in some downtime. Will I update the blog? To be honest I have not had any downtime. I woke up, groomed, fed pup, did Nami pups play session and now blogging. Nathan is off to the Keg to get some food and wonderful Sherry brought me muffins.

I still have to upload puppy videos. Then I get to go to bed after eating. Oh boy...

Even dinner is challenging as I go to bed at 530pm and that means eating before then. It's not the usual but we are going to attempt to make the best of it.

As you will see the dogs had a blast despite the wetness. They really are a wonderful crew. Everyone loves each other.

Update Later?

I will be updating later, after I get up. Dogs are sleeping with Nathan and Dennis. I miss that! 

Here is the gallery.

Only some want to hang out in the white stuff so not many photos in the gallery today. Still, those that do really enjoy. Those that don't play indoors. LOL

Messy Messy

This blog will be updated hopefully later today. I need photos, 1st. Everyone is sleeping at the moment - dogs and all. 

Here is the gallery.

I want you to know I brushed out Spirit and especially Misty and look at her now. I about died laughing. Guess I will have to do her again tonight after I get up. I am off to bed at 530 and really dragging today. 

Dash arrived for a grooming and was such a good boy! He had a blast and will depart shortly.

Dogs were playing in and out today. 

Thank you to Phyllis for bringing a Costco rottiserie chicken. Gone about 20 minutes after it arrived. I am kidding you not. So easy to just eat and not have to cook.

It is Nathan and my anniversary on the 2nd and we are figuring out takeout but funny it has to be no later than 530 as I go to bed 545pm till 9. LOL I am hoping Nathan gets me a magnificent orchid just so I can brighten my mood. I think I will just get takeout and a snooze in bed. I will take just feeling alive and human.

Dogs are now eating and barking as Dash's mom came to the door. It's a normal fun day!

I think the night shift is killing me. Not sure how Dennis does it but I guess I will adjust. 

Light Dusting

Here is the gallery.

The play was fine today with a light dusting of snow. The dogs LOVED it! They ran. They played and then they napped.

Nothing like fun play on a cool day. Will it snow more? Who knows. 

As I type, they are all literally napping after the last play session. It's a quiet house, at the moment.

Boy is it Cold

Here is the gallery.

Lachlan is trying to figure out - is this snow?

Ms Skylar departs today. She had so much fun!

We didn't get enough to call it snow. Perhaps we can call it a slight dusting but the dogs are enjoying the cool. What are you sniffing, Lachlan.

Dogs had a blast. Cassie since she has had her heat is calmer - still playful but not sewing her oats. Wow and she is highly affectionate. It's interesting.

Logan and Panda departed today. Gallan has heart surgery like Nathan on the 9th. We wish him well. It is a process but he will feel better coming out the other side.

The dogs are heavily playing today. It must be the briskness of it.

I am eating terrible and still not adjusted to this schedule. Now that Nathan can feed the puppy, I can groom and not fret about her feeding. That was weighing on my heavily so I have a solution. Solutions come as you go. 

I am going to try to get Nathan to go to Costco for the chickens. How long can it take? 

Hope you or your dogs are enjoying the coolness. I am not. I like SUMMER!

Update Minor Snow

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are now sleepig with Dennis and Nathan. They split up the dogs. They will come down at 7am and by 730am I will crawl into bed. 

It has been rather wet outside so I am hopeful that Pingo will stay nice. I will brush him out before I head to bed, I suppose or Nathan can. It will depend on how tired I am. He isn't going home till 2pm so I suppose I can do him then. Mom and Dad just got married so wild applause and congrats going their way.

It did snow though it is melted now and it is awfully cold and windy. Dogs reflect that. I am grooming each but I will tell you Cassie and Ollie hide when I want to brush them out. This is silly - you two. I do not hurt you but you would prefer to be ragamuffins.

Dogs are arriving - no one other than Pingo is departing.

It's cold - oh I did say that already. LOL

It's Been a Day

Here is the gallery.

It's been a day. With my sleeping schedule, I do the grooming when it works. Pingo was supposed to go at 11am so I just finished him knowing I would be sleeping. Now to keep him clean.

If anyone is going to Costco and coming here, can you get me 2 rotisserie chickens cooked at I will pay you for them. We love them and the moms love them too. Let me know. Just with this schedule we can't go and 2 chickens is not enough to do delivery. 

Ms Kally also got groomed for departure tonight.

It is wonderful that if I am grooming longer, Nathan can now do the feedings. This is the 1st time in all the years that he has done feedings on a pup. He can do it and he is when I can't stop to do it. She si on a strict 2 hours feeding schedule 24 hours a day and its working so some stress is now off me. That feels better. He is also good at it as you have to do it the right way so she doesn't get too much at once.

It was a bit cool out today but the dogs loved it. The dogs are now playing a fun game of hide and seek with Dennis. They adore the game.

Tomorrow I am combing out my dogs here and there. We are getting into the groove. LOL

Day After Dental Clinic

If you need grooming, please do not go elsewhere. I do need the $$ and well I know 2 that went elsewhere as I was busy with Alanza and they are shaved down to the skin. So, just send me mail. I will fit them in. Now that Nathan can feed Alanza while I groom, it will be fine.

This blog may stay as it is or I will update it tonight. We shall see how the day goes. 

Here is the gallery.

Dental Day, Snow and Messy Dogs

Here is the gallery.

It has been a chaotic house due to dental, grooming and puppy feeding. To be honest, it was overwhelming. 

But we survived. Dogs are playing, departing and tomorrow is a new day.

Everyone's teeth looks gorgeous. 

Dogs are having fun and I have 2 more blogs to do, grooming plus a puppy feeding every 2 hours.

So my updates are what they are.

We were lucky as Ollie pict

New Faces

Here is the gallery.

Pingo has taken a liking to Cassie or is that Cassie has taken a liking to Pingo? I am not sure. Bonham went really? Cassie noticed him and started to full out play with him. The relationships they create are wonderful. 

Tomorrow is dental day. I have a puppy to feed and lots of grooming and I think many dogs getting their teeth clean so this blog will be short. 

Nathan also has a birthday paty for a friend he is attending on Saturday. I was so looking forward to it but can't with my 2 hour window with feeding a pup but I did make a slate piece for the event that came out really nice. I juggled that into my schedule today. They haver wonderful food for this event. Oh well - he will enjoy. LOL

Can You Believe?

Here is the gallery.

Despite the rain, they did manage to go outdoors but messy they achieved. LOL Harlow, I had to pick leaves out in every direction.

We also had a day with Lulu playing with her momma, Nami. Plus Willow with Cassie. It has been an entirely fun day for the dogs. Me, it has been crazy busy. 

I am still trying hard to fit everything in. Friday we have the dental clinic so if you haven't asked Nathan and you want to do it - please send him mail. Time is out after tomorrow.

I also have 3 dogs to groom on Friday and can't do anymore between the clinic, grooms and feeding a puppy. I so need some down time.

But as you can see, I was above playing with Nami and Lulu. It was fun!

Raining

Here is a very mini gallery.

Pippin departs tonight. We are keeping him dry. He has been groomed. The dogs are getting mighty messy. It was supposed to be snow.

I am tired so I am not going to do a big blog but Dennis is about to run with the dogs upstairs to chase their willys out. 

They have fun no matter what the weather is.

Play and Change

Here is the gallery.

This is Pippin and Ellie full out playing. Ignore the floor. This is what comes in and falls off of them many many times a day. Dennis can't vacuum until Nathan gets up. LOL So, you now get what we go through every day, many times a day.

Ellie departed 20 minutes ago and Pippin departs tomorrow. As I have to groom between feedings of Sage's pup, I may prep Pippin tonight. He doesn't go till tomorrow night so I will bathe him and finish. He will be missed. I believe this has been the best stay yet with all his crazy play. 

Murphy has Coco leadingf him around. Such a bossy thing, Coco but Murphy doesn't mind. Cassie thinks she is in a candy store each new dog.

Everyone else is having fun. They are playing up a storm. I am getting boarders combed out but not my own. I will play catchup as I can with my own. 

Thank you to Dorothy for matzah ball soup. It is what we had after the last feeding of the pup. Eating is interesting as I do not have the time. This too shall pass.

Happy 11

Happy birthday to Nora and her siblings. Nora still gets mistaken for a puppy on our walks. This is what she does whenever we go to pat her. She flips over for maximum belly rubs!  We will spoil her today, shady is already jealous and whining, but happy for Nora we are sure!

Sunday It Is

Here is Barney all ready to go home.

Here is the gallery.

As you will see, the dogs are playing in a huge way. Harlow had leaves all through her so I spent a great deal of time getting them out. Chai was the same. Despite us having the leaves picked up - well we have more. 

I am living on zero lemonade. Is that a bad thing? 

Dogs have been playing in and out. Me, I am so busy it is unreal. I just want 15 minutes to do absolutely nothing except eat a Dairy Queen split. Yes, I am laughing but the things you want when stressed and too busy is crazy. 

Coco and Ellie enjoy each others company. Ellie loves to sit high up on the crates. Pippin loves me the best - just saying. Yes, I am laughing as according to Nathan they all love him the best. He must be delusional. It's an age thing. hahahahaha

Sorry - my blogs are what they are due to busy-ness. Apologies!

It is Fun Times

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are having a total blast today. Not sure why so much play but it has been non stop. Today is a real dawg day!

We have dogs coming and going. I am exhausted. I am sending Nathan to the mall for 

Yes, It is Raining

Here is the gallery.

I can go to the mailbox in a t-shirt but it is raining. Some like to go out. Some do not buy we do manage to get the ones that hate the rain out under the gazebos. It stays dry there as the rain is not side ways. Socks doesn't mind the rain. Lachlan usually doesn't mind either but when he headed to the muddy area, I stopped him. He looked mighty confused but no mud on him.

We usually do not have mud in our yard. I know this will pass. It's not overly muddy but if the dogs chase each other - well muck. No one has reached that point yet. Hooray!

Would we rather have snow? You tell me.

2 Posts Today: Happy 1st

Just a Small Update

Here is a tiny gallery. Hopefully I will add to it after Dennis takes photos. These are from Nathan.

We have a dental clinic coming up on November 24th. If interested, please send mail to nathan

Dogs are having fun. I did groom where I could yesterday. 

Dennis did play games and he will this afternoon. 

I will continue to groom inbetween feedings. It is non stop. 

We couldn't go into Ottawa for a funeral so we attempted to watch a poor quality feed online. What a year this has been for deaths for those we care for. 

I am tired today as I had a dog that wanted me up to play last night. I gave up at 6am. I have another feeding in 30 min so I am going to sit in the recliner with the moms and let the alarm wake me up. How is that?
