Love From the Dawgs

Here is the gallery.

Such a warm day out. Little by little I am playing catchup grooming everyone. I should be totally caught up by tomorrow. We have some new visitors today so it has been a ton of fun. Dennis cleared excess water off the pool cover so the dogs are loving running across it and they are not getting wet. We need to get the pool open soon.

Last night we had burning wood and poor Dennis was going crazy. He was looking everywhere. We didn't see smoke nor did we hear sirens but we smelt the wood smelling experience. I suspect someone was burning wood in one of those outdoor fireplaces but it was interesting we didn't see the smoke. We actually set up everything in case we needed to evacuate. We still have no clue where it was coming from but the smell went away in the wee hours. Didn't give us a solid sleep but glad that is done.

Dogs and Nathan have really enjoyed the outdoors. As I said, I was playing catch-up on grooming so other than going to get the stick out of the camera outdoors, I didn't enjoy. Dennis was pumping off the water so although he was enjoying warmth, he was working. He did run with the dogs.

I should head upstairs and open my upstairs window to get fresh air. Yep - think I will do that and then I have Harlow to groom as she is heading home.

The dogs - well they had a great time today!

Fun Times

Here is the gallery.

It's warm out and Kirby had just a bit of time to play so play he did. He was a challenge as he wanted to lay down while I groomed him. What a riot.

I realized we have decks to sterilize. People coming to see pups on Saturday and Sunday and I have 3 moms and 16 pups to wash. Oh boy... Crazy times but we will figure it out.

Dogs are so enjoying the outdoors. Nathan is too. I got to stand out and look around today and go oh boy. LOL

At least we are not dealing with an ice storm like Quebec has.

The dogs - well they are enjoying this warmth. I hope you are too!

Watch Tenshi at the pet show running the course. Way to go Tenshi!

Play Play and Playing

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are really enjoying the play. We have a full house with the holiday weekend. The weather is decent and they are playing in and out. Dennis even did the run game today. It was fun to watch.

I am better than yesterday. I am eating food and it is staying down. I am falling asleep often but we are getting there.

Nathan made some steak on the BBQ for the dogs and they ate it YUM!!

It's been a good day!

Crazy Times

Here is the gallery.

Short blogging and yes, getting tired of it. Not feeling well still. Got told my brother (unexpected) died yesterday. I have lots I am dealing with. 

We have dogs coming - going - grooms - none of it I am up to but we are dealing. I so enjoy the dogs. 

Ruth is still in hospital.

Every single dog that is here is having a great time.

Happy Passover - Happy Good Friday and Happy Easter - Happy Ramadan - whatever you celebrate may it be an easy one. Not sure if Happy is the right word but just know the intent is good.

It is nice to have sunshine - isn't it?

Warmish Day Outside

Here is the gallery.

Each time I groom, it sets me a bit back and I need to rest. So, short blogs yet again. Dogs are enjoying outdoors. Weather is finally refreshing and ice on the pool is almost gone.

Fun, fun fun is to be had from the dogs despite how I feel. LOL

Rain Rain

Here is the drippy wet gallery.

It's raining outside so I am not sure how much of a gallery we will have but when I know, I will post it. It is now up.

Brodie has arrived. It is delightful to see him. Nathan and Dennis is napping and I am better than I was yesterday. I have to look at getting food delivered. I am pacing myself and am watching junky TV. 

I am playing catch-up grooming 1 dog here and there. :-)

I just came from getting more water and I see a bunch of dogs is all over the couches and recliner all over Dennis napping. Rainy daze and naps - perfect!

Run and Play

Here is the gallery.

Run, play and living to have fun. That is what dogs should do and this is what they are doing.

Everything seems to be melting away. Could true spring be soo

Rather Warm Today

Here is the gallery.

Kinsey is out of heat and delighted to play with all comers. The play was fun today. Although not there yet in the sick department. There is hope. I am also holding down food. I may gain all that weight back. LOL Wouldn't it be nice to wake up tomorrow and go wow I feel okay. Here's hoping!

The dogs don't care. Chiclet today had a dog on the tv in the tv room and he went to attack the screen. I guess he could see the dog clearly.

Mr. Lachlan departs tonight. He's been magnificent. He is such a happy dog like his momma.

Well, till tomorrow. Know the dogs are having fun - enjoying. 

Cold But Clear

Here is a mini gallery.

Rocky, Majik and Oreo has departed. Missed already. It was so nice to see Rocky and he was such a good boy. Lachlan is here now till tomorrow. Cori, Chiclet, Hugo, Ali and Joey arrived. Everyone is so enjoying each other. Dolly and Trouble - having a blast but they always do. Trouble has reclaimed her tv spot and Nathan too. LOL

Kinsey and Sage are out of heat - no breeding. Sage just had a litter and Kinsey is a baby. We celebrate.

Me, not well yet but seeing small signs of improvement. Maybe tomorrow more - we hope!

Pace Oneself

This is Rocky. He departs tomorrow. As he needs to be groomed and I am not well at all, I started doing him here and there. 

Here is the gallery. Most I didn't get to comb out but will be trying tomorrow. Certainly those departing will be done. I am cancelling grooms other than boarders. When sweat is coming down your face, you keep running for the bathroom and you are dizzy as all hell and add sweats in, desire and capability don't often mesh. I am trying.

Dogs have been laying outside today on a stunning warm day. They have enjoyed. I went out to take some photos as Dennis only did a couple. I think the dogs were truly excited about this weather. They say cold again so this is just a tease. Go figure... it is April 1st.

Ruth is still in hospital but Katie is enjoying. 

Still Sick

Here is an oldie but goodie. I am sick so I am crawling back into bed. Just not up to this but I have never missed a day so... hoping tomorrow I feel better as today is not it. 

Dogs are doing well with Nathan and Dennis care. No worries.

Sorry

I am not feeling well - no not covid - yes I have tested daily cause why not eliminate that but I was really really careful when I went out with the daughter  so short blogs and no gallery here. I need to lay down after Nathan takes his nap. I had to do a dog that was departing today - cancelled the rest. I almost didn't make it through. 

Dogs are enjoying and having fun. I am not. So, if I am short blogging and cancelling grooming - please understand. 

Wild Weather

Here is the gallery.

It started out okay with plants peeking out and then the wind and the flying rain and snow. The dogs looked at it and said NO WAY! Me too. 

For those that think spring is here - well not yet. Just hopeful, I gather! March is always like a lion. April - let's hope. When it is sunny the dogs come to life - humans too!

Dogs are so enjoying warm blankets - tv and running the halls!

Bad weather - no worries. We still fiund a way to expel energy.

Still Ice?

Here is the gallery.

This is the middle of the pool but everywhere else seems to be dirt, mud and plants trying to make a debut.

Today Fenton and Cali departs. I combed them out and hope they remain decent.

The dogs are enjoying outside and so is Nathan as he lays in his gravity chair. LOL

Oreo has taken over Harlow's job of barking for meals, snacks - lap - what have you. I watched a tv show with Dennis today and Majik melted in my lap. When Nathan takes a nap, Oreo must go. Mr. Levon loves to scratch at my legs - hey you - I am here - stop doing what you are doing - it's me. Trigger loves the smells in the garden. Rue - well Rue was playing and playing today. Rue is rather reserved but she does play but today she played like it was all she was thinking of. It made me smile.

Off to upload videos.

Wet and Nasty

Here is the gallery.

It is so wet and nasty out there. We had hail as you can see in this photo. We would not have had them out but it started after they were out. Cali just stared and stared and stayed under the gazebo. What is this ---- I imagine she was saying. I feel the same.

I have to tell you that they now look out and say - rather do the tv room - the kitchen - the hall - anywhere than that. Besides the snuggles reciprocated is wonderful. So, we make the best of bad weather.

Catch Up

Here is the mini gallery.

I have been out all afternoon. Went to Rock of Ages which was fun and a bit racy. Singing wasn't as good as originals but that is what made it fun.

Nathan said he sat out with the dogs today as it was so lovely. They say snow tomorrow - sigh.

The dogs he said really enjoyed lazing out with him.

They played indoors too. Many went home - a few arrived. I made a list who had to be brushed and what time they were going home. Hope he followed through. 

It was good to get out. I so appreciated it. Guess Nathan, Dennis and the dawgs survived without me. 

Wet Rainy Day

Here are a few photos. It has been raining ALL day so very few photos.

I just clicked a few and that's as good as it will get. Tomorrow blogs will be late and short. 

Tomorrow I am out with the daughter as her present to me. Sadie, Leo, Olive, Lola and Pepper are departing. I won't be here so apologies to those I will not see. Trigger and Levon with come.

Despite the weather that NO ONE wants to go out in, they are still having a great time.

What a Wonderful Day

Here is the gallery.

I want to say thank you for all that made my day a wonderful one. I didn't groom. I took a long hot shower this morning instead of coming down with the dogs. Eeeking out time to take a shower is not a given always for me nor is it easy. So to leisurely not worry about doing everything that I do every day from 7am till bedtime was amazing. Maybe its not for you but for me, I work so hard so anything that lends me an easier time is - well huge smiles.

I want to thank those that brought their dogs that I have not seen for a bit. Bonham arrived today and was so much fun. Mom brought gifts - a gift card and yum homemade scones. The big gift was Bonham that was so delighted to see and her husband Steve was a treat too as its been a long time. Nice way to start the day.

Daisy's mom brought dessert - yummy desserts - thank you! 

Tenshi - well we get her an extra night. Poor Sylvia is working herself to death before she can go to Montreal for a funeral. Hugs...

I must admit, I changed blankets, moved laundry on and snuggle over and over with the dogs. I am about to sit in a recliner to rest enough to start my day tomorrow grooming.

A gift of yum designer fruit arrived from Coco the Maltese owners - yum. Though Nathan has been picking at it. He loves fruit. I told him hands off the chocolate covered strawberries. The other day Ronnie brought smoked meat. That's Nathan's fave and was so special as she always thinks about us. Tenshi's mom brought me yum is it Korean or? It was ever so good. Thank you.

Thanks to Sandy who sent me mad money. I bought a few summer shirts. Thanks to Sherry - tips, mad money always wonderful and she always thinks of me even when going crazy moving.

Nathan picked up Lonestar and my tummy is bursting.

Then today Kandoo's mom came with Kandoo and Asal and brought Purdy's chocolate and well we watched Spirit literally go out of her mind to see Kandoo. She even kept trying to get Asal to play. Spirit was smiling and so incredibly excited. It made us smile too. Between Bonham and Kandoo - it made my day. Yes, I so love the dogs but Spirit - oh boy grinning and grinning made my heart melt. I did put a short bit of it on Youtube. Nathan also took a short video of Jersey and Pepper playing - siblings.

Dogs had fun. A day off from grooming - needed. Thank you for everyone who cared. The recliner is calling. 

To all who sent messages - thank 

Happy 8th

Hi Darlah/Nathan,

I hope you guys are doing well! 

I wanted to wish Saffron and all PJ’s litter mates a very happy birthday!

PJ got his yearly photo session done with lots of sardines to enjoy on his day, he loves his photo sessions lol. Attached a few images we got.

Hugs,

Adriana

The sisters are still bonded! Murphy and Saffron.... They are wishing their siblings a huge happy 8th. 

Mini Day

Here is a mini gallery.

Sorry but I think Dennis forgot to take photos. He's a bit exhausted and is napping till tonight now. I suppose I could go and snap photos but I am also exhausted. So - hopefully not too mini for you. 

After this blog, I need to eat, check blankets and upload videos and it is almost 7pm. 

Tomorrow no grooming. Otherwise, I imagine I will still be working. Almost 3 weeks of grooming nonstop every day due to March Break is taking its toll. So I do not care if they can't see - I will be barking at Nathan to do it. We shall see how it goes. I am conditioned too. 

Dogs enjoyed themselves, I am told. a recliner and dogs are calling me. Nathan is tv timing it.
