Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 6:19PM Snow is coming, they say!!
I had an extremely busy day today. Tomorrow is crazy too. So, bear with me.
Mr. Ollie, Bailey, Rusty and Luna departed. Tomorrow Buddy will depart and a number will come for grooming if the weather allows.
Thank you to Ronnie for Centre Street Deli dinner - wow - nice!
I have a TON to do before pups depart.
Dogs had a ton of fun! Me, I have blogs and well someone to shave down. :-)
Monday, January 23, 2023 at 4:01PM The dogs love the snow but its wet so they are getting snowballs. Not fun but we deal.
They say more snow come Wednesday and Thursday.
Brewer went out and decided playing indoors was better. He had snowballs up his legs.
Tomorrow we have quite a few departing - believe 5. Lots of grooming as I do comb-outs on the rest.
Ms Bailey has been with us for awhile and she goes tomorrow. I did another cut down and tomorrow she will get a bath and finish. We really got used to her being here. She is so loving!
That is it today. I have to get some more snow off dogs, I am told. So - till tomorrow!
Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 2:57PM This is Maury and Opus out on the pool cover. Maury is here for a play day and well, he is making the most of it. Wild, crazy play and fun is the name of the game.
Snow has just begun and they say a huge storm is on the way. Here is hoping.
Bailey goes home on Tuesday after having a grand time with us. Mr. Ollie has arrived and is playing.
Mr. Levon and Trigger arrived and are heading outside with Dennis. If he takes more photos, they will be in the gallery tomorrow.
Mr. Tchibo just departed and he is missed. It's been awhile.
It's my day off so I am just not grooming so if they look like a motley mess, you know why. We all need a break every now and then.
Saturday, January 21, 2023 at 5:32PM We had a number of dogs depart today. More tomorrow. We had Ella at the vet as she was bleeding so we thought maybe pyo, that is rather significant. You can lose a dog to pyo. We are not sure what it is but after much $$ and xrays etc, we figure she may be in a split heat. She is on antibiotics. We need to watch her closely but she ate tonight.
Had a friend die recently. Have another one that is terminal. She celebrated being able to sit up on her own today. Another is fighting a battle with cancer - round 3. My knee is screaming today and well there is more but you don't want to know more. I told you the easy stuff relatively so. This too shall pass.
Plus one of our dog family - a family I genuinely love has covid and well, I am worried about them. But their dog is having a glorious time. So they can concentrate on themselves and smile when they see their baby playing like a play monkey.
All and all the dogs bring us smiles. They play dance. They french kiss you when you least expect it when laughing. Had that happen today - yikes. I know close my mouth. That was Misty cause she can't help herself. She is the same dog that comes up to me at 2am wagging her tail so hard with a toy in her mouth batting me to ask me to play. That gal and Cinnamon has the play in them. They are happy happy dogs always. We all need that, don't you think?
Last night, when I got out of bed for my bathroom break, the dogs must have moved real fast before I got back in bed to take my spot. Were they telling me something? All I could do is laugh and try to push them out of the way to make room for me. I must admit, I was still scrunched up. Am I a fool or do I simply love the dogs that much. Maybe a little of both.
That's my craziness for the day. The dawgs are having fun and now I must go hang out with them as Nathan needs to bring Katie home.
Friday, January 20, 2023 at 3:15PM Imagine this - no rain today. LOL Skies are dark as if it will snow but it isn't.
Opus arrived. Magic got cleaned up for Chinese New Year! Happy New Year 兔 you to all who celebrate!
Ms. Bailey departed this morning. Harlowe gal departs tonight. Tomorrow we have family visits for the pups.
The dogs do not mind going out today as it is not wet. It may feel cool but not terribly so.
Some are napping with Nathan as I type. Some dogs want to nap daily with him. Some like to nap with him on occcasion. He has more takers, it seems when it is raining. What is that about?
Thursday, January 19, 2023 at 4:37PM This is Lachlan, a Misty Baby and he has her personality. He is a happy, happy boy no matter what you are doing. Bath time - no problem. Blow dry, no problem. He loves to play and so does Misty. His happiness is infectious!
We had a couple of cancellations due to the freezing rain but mostly everyone came and maybe we will have departures and maybe not. That's okay too. I prefer everyone stays safe.
It is Nathan's day off tomorrow.
Bailey is playing like crazy and so is Ellie. Logan and Panda have their places for tv watch time. Lexi is groomed and awaiting a late pickup.
I can hear the rain pelting down - rain ice. I am so glad the dogs have all been trained to use pads. When it is miserable like this,
We are inside staying dry. The dogs have had dinner. They surely get excited for that - all of them.
Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 6:06PM There is not much in them as Nathan took photos. Gad I love the guy but he believes in the less not more sort of a thing.
Dogs did have a good time running with Dennis inside. We will not take a chance with the ice to do that outside.
As we were busy, they had a day off from a comb out. They were happy. Tomorrow we start in again and hope teh weather cooperates.
Everyone had greenies today. A few days ago they had dental bones from the vets.
I was making nachos for a quick lunch and as I was clumsy and spilt some bacon and cheese, guess which dogs came running? You tell me.
Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at 6:34PM The gallery is a bit sparse as it's been raining yet again and its really a mess out there. Dogs do not want to venture off the deck.
It is also Dennis day off so I pickup his load that he carries. I am doing the puppy visits, baths, dry, the pad changing, the dishes, the water and I guess taking video and photos too. LOL
I will most likely stay up till 11pmish to do the pen cleanup, the play session before bed and well the normal things I do such as dishes, coffee the night before and well I don't want to think about it.
Bailey and her sister Charlotte indeed remember each other and are playing from morning till night. Jamie saw a squirrell 2 days ago and he's still looking for it.
Buddy's human had heart surgery so we are hoping he is well.Siapoa and Dimsum are well way comfie and like to sit with Dennis when he is playing a game. He is doing so today. Lexi gets into the thick of things with anyone who engages with her and there are many.
It has been a great day despite my busy day. Nathan did take quite a few to bed for nap time. Truffie is in the photo on this blog. That's it
Monday, January 16, 2023 at 4:54PM Dogs find it cold outside. Melted snow is now ice everywhere.
They enjoy heated blankets when they come in. Yeah, we do that too. LOL
Tomorrow I get to do 2 moms, 7 pups 3 visitors so blogs may be scarce. Wednesday vet visit so another day busy.
So bear with me.
Dogs are all having fun. Today though, they are cuddled in with Nathan. Some actually watch the TV and some do not. It is interesting to see who does.
Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 2:52PM 
Sometimes you are comfortable where you are comfortable and this happens to be our tv stand. LOL
Maury is here visiting his canine mom, Spirit and us. He is having a total blast but now he is napping with Nathan along with Harlow and a bunch of others keeping him warm, I imagine. I am sitting typing away feeling cold. Nathan reduced the inside temp and I feel like I need a jacket. Something about mumbling about the gas bill. LOL
That's okay. Soon I have to bathe and trim Maury and he will be in my grooming area with dryers going and it will feel warm.
I am going to have to buy blankets as they go on sale. The dogs really don't but I do or I need to gain some hair all over. Right....become a dawg!
Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 3:14PM 
Ah look who has arrived. Of course Bailey is curious and enjoying.
Our visitors that arrived late missed their naps with Nathan. Tomorrow is a new day. Nathan is still napping.
Harlow is still wanting food from Dennis each time he eats. She is a riot. I can be across the house and know when Dennis has food and Harlow is asking for some. It makes me so laugh.
The dogs are having so much fun.
Nathan ge

This little monkey turned one today and shared his birthday cake with his best buddy Maximus!
Happy Birthday Knuckles!
Friday, January 13, 2023 at 3:57PM Dawgs are having a ton of fun. They are enjoying the snow despite it being wet. It beats mud.
Ms. Coco just departed. Rocky will be departing shortly.
I think Harlow thinks she is starving so I gave her a greenie. Then she looked at me as if to say - well that was small you cheap human. LOL I swear I could hear her say that to me. She will have to make do with ground beef and cheese tonight.
Bailey LOVES greenies. She took hers right into the open crate with her back to the outside till she was done. Did she think someone would take it? Good for her. Everyone gets one.
Nathan thinks the dogs love me as I am the treat lady. He always insists the dogs love him the best. I laugh.
We have light snow going on but nothing to really speak of now. We shall see what tomorrpw brings. Can we have a rip roaring storm so we can d

This was Bailey, Oakley and Maki. Sorry for the blur. Maki has since departed. Dennis took the photos but you can get the spirit of the play despite the blurriness. I didn't want to leave them out.
Bailey and Maki had a groom. Bailey will go shorter when she departs but for now I like her this length so I will enjoy, LOL. Even longer her hair is easy to manage. Despite the amount she plays, she rarely gets a knot.
Maki playing with his mom Ella.
Maki was here just for the play and groom and he brought so much fun. Bailey is a major player and so is Oakley so it is easy to see why they were playing their hearts out.
Amy was also here and Mr. Brewer had his groom for departure tonight. Mr. Brewer likes to muck it up in the mud so he really needed it.
It's a little tricky to keep them clean as it is raining. Oh, I am sure you are surprised that it is raining. Well, then again perhaps not. You would be surprised that it is NOT raining. Well, I would be.
Mr. Buddy is really enjoying Truffie. Truffie and him and real pals. Buddy likes the others but they have something going on - the best pals thing. It is nice.
Siapoa and Dimsum are attached at the hips but they do play with the others. I think with the rain, they are playing a great deal in the house. Outside they are investigating. The dogs love outdoors but not with rain. So - here inside we play, rest and enjoy!

Kinsey and Lachlan are thick as thiefs or so it seems. LOL Since birth they seem to be and the relationship continues. It is quite nice to see.
Nathan was at his heart doctor for his 6 month checkup. Dennis was at the opthamologist for his eyes. I was hanging with dogs. Dennis took the photos in the gallery despite having blurry vision.
Some of the dogs are napping with Nathan. Some are hanging all over with Dennis and I.
It appears mighty gloomy outside. Makes you want to wrap yourself with a soft blanket and dogs and nap.

Happy 1st Birthday to Spirit’s gang and
Talemakers Wild Bunch Butch Cassidy
Such a handsome Dude!
Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 8:02PM It has been a crazy day. Not many photos. Murphy gal departed. Maui came and went. Opus, I just finished his grooming just in time. Mr. Ollie departs tomorrow and Dennis is off to the eye dr and Nathan to the cardiologist. Ms Katie was also visiting today!
No snow today and no rain. Bonus! Everyone is out of heat now except Ella.
I just finished grooming so I am trying to get blogs done. In 45 minutes I have to start cleanup before bed - water dishes, dogs outside etc No rest for the weary.
I am so tired, I am not sure what I am typing but it is a day and the dawgs always has fun. Bailey needs a groom and bath in a couple of days. She thinks I can wait. I am not sure I can. LOL

I have a corrupted memory stick so was only able to get some photos from yesterday and today. many were lost. Sorry. I need some new memory sticks.
Here is the gallery but realize there are many lost. This gal, over the next few days will be bathed as she just is mucking it up so much and needs it.
The photos that had Murphy laying on top of the crate under the table are lost and when I asked her - why not try on top of that crate again? She looked at me like I was an idiot. I suppose I am thinking she would do it again.
Oh well - dogs played. Maui comes tomorrow. Winston and daisy came today. Charlie departed. Think maybe Opus is departing tomorrow - have to look - Ollie the next day? Girls are almost all out of heat so normalcy?
No mud - that's a good thing but it is cold. No snow in sight.
Sunday, January 8, 2023 at 3:46PM It is a quieter house. I am not grooming today - zilch. I will play catch-up tomorrow. Every now and then we all need a day off and besides Dennis has me binge watching this really terrible show (dogs all over me in the recliner - had 8 dogs on me) and now I am on season 2. Every now and then you have to watch trash, I suppose or then again not!
The dogs are having fun today but it feels bitter cold out there. No mud so no muddy floors. That is also why I can take the day off. Tomorrow is busy.
Sherry dropped off Murphy and brought me this HUGE banana split. Oh my gad am I feeling stuffed but oh it is a mighty treat to get Dairy Queen which is now closed in Richmond Hill.
We handed out dental chews from the vets and not all enjoy. It is interesting on who likes - who doesn't. It's a real hit or miss here.
Skylar departed after her nap with Nathan. Naps are important and some dogs - visitors too really enjoy the afternoon nap. It is their choice - to nap upstairs or not and he invites - who comes or doesn't is up to them.
It may be cold but more enjoyable than mud or too much snow. :-)
