Balmy Day

What an absolutely balmy day seeing it is almost the end of September. I just love it and so does the adult dogs. I think the pups could care less what weather it is. Just take me outside. Here is Havoc, Opus and dare I say 2 someones that want to go inside to the air. LOL

Here is the gallery.

We hope Ruth is settling into St. John's. Katie is having a fab time but I bet she misses her momma. 

I am finishing the blogs early so I can sit outside in the sun with the dogs. As I type Dennis is out on the 2 deck with the pups. 

Tomorrow it best be warm as Sherry and I are heading to the Keg for an early before rush dinner and may stop at winners. Cold weather is coming and I have lost weight so my winter stuff is hanging but maybe that is a good thing. I love roomy clothes vs form fitting. The dogs don't have to fret as we used to dress them but not anymore. If it is too cold we just bring them inside. 

Cool New Item Coming Out

Check this one out. It may be a great way for your pup or adult to keep their mind busy. I am getting one - well actually 2 as I always like to try something that looks promising for my dogs. 

Oh the Smells

It's still warm.  Misty and Ella got in the pool. Others wanted to go but I was simply not up to combing and blowing them out. 

Here is the gallery.

Ruth has made it to St. Johns so a step before home. Katie is enjoying herself so she can rest with knowing  that Katie is on holidays. 

Pablo has departed. Ollie, Alfie, Opus, Tenshi, Tobias and Havoc have arrived. Mr. Winston is enjoying lazing, smelling and playing. Ms Harlow - well she takes over the house. My spot - my couch and then smiles about it. Still barking for her dinner. She is a gal who knows what she wants. That makes me smile and I like that!

Everyone is enjoying themselves. The weather is perfect and the fun seems to be everywhere. Alfie - well as soon as Tobias and Havoc arrived he has engaged in play with them. So nice of him to be teh welcoming commitee. Rather genuinely nice!

Summer is Not Completely Gone

Here is the gallery.

This is Winston and Katie enjoying the weather. awww warmth is still here but not hot enough to take pups in. <sigh> Me - I got in. Nathan got in. I feel it is our last hoorah. Let's see if that is what it is. If so, time to close the pool so the dogs can use the cover as a trampoline. Yes - that they do. 

Dogs had a really good run. We have 3 dogs in heat - Cinnamon too but no breeding for her. She's too old and needs to be spayed. 

Been dreaming about a used massage chair. I actually woke up from a dream of sinking into one. I have crazy dreams and I remember them all. Don't you wonder why you dream the things you do? About 2 nights ago I had a dream I couldn't move. Woke up and dogs were all over me. Yep - I couldn't move.

Oh well - I feel lost when I do not have dogs in bed with me. Sounds strange but really true.

Happy 8th

We celebrated Rusty’s 8th Birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday to all his siblings. Xoxo

Oooops

Dennis forgot to take photos so he is going to take them now so I can create a gallery and post a photo here. 

I am doing the text so I can sit on my recliner and rest this knee. I am finally finding a balance so I can feel normal until the end of the day when I guess I still overuse it. 

We had a long day. It rained. They played inside and then got to play outdoors when it went. Interesting enough it was muggy. 

Dennis did run upstairs with them and did a mind game with them but no photos - really? 

I will try to get a photo up and a gallery but if I don't - know they are enjoying and I am in a recliner with dogs.

Doing What He Does Best

Here is the gallery.

I was going into the pool today as it warm but Nathan neglecxted to put the heat on. God knows I love him but I could kill him. The rest of the week is rain and cool. Joy. I have had a lousy summer season with hardly anytime in the pool. It's my holiday. This is the year he got in and I did not much. Will we have any days warm and will he put on the heat when we do or shall we close?

Dennis took more photos than usual. Bonus!

Dogs had fun today. I am ever so glad when they are full of it. We also had a Tempie visit. My little Ella gal had fun as we brought her out too. Next Saturday is the 3 crew visit. 

We had lots of kitchen play. I am doing blogs late. What's new?

Not Warm Today

Small gallery.

Told Dennis I need more photos. Sorry... He says he will start tomorrow to do more. 

It was a very busy day. Tempie had a bath and a whole slew of dogs. I had planned on taking the pups swimming but it was not warm enough and here I am late doing blogs. I am so cold I need to store socks downstairs. LOL

Ronnie bought me pistachios shelled from Costco. I am so bloody excited - seriously! Thank you!

I can't believe Tempie pups have a visit tomorrow. 

Dennis did play upstairs today. Not sure why but as I was gropoming it sounded like the running of the bulls. It sounded like a riot and they seemed mighty happy when they came downstairs. Only dog that didn't participate was Tempie as I was grooming her.

It is always a fun day when it includes a mad run!

Lounging in Coolness

Dennis was playing with filters. I think I prefer without. Panda and Logan was here to play and groom. 

Here is the gallery.

Harlow walked in the pool today. If you want to take her in, she usually declines. AIf it is on her terms - well - that's different. Maybe when it is warmer tomorrow she will try again and AI will have the camera out with me. I didn't swim as it was simply too cool.

Parker arrived and is playing like a crazy person. 

Winston decided he finally likes the pups. 

We are starting to book up for the December holiday - if you can believe. I do not even have the pool closed. It's going to get warmer so it will remain open.

We are in need of a plumber. So, if you have someone you trust, please send Nathan their names, please. 

Now off to upload videos, ice the leg and have a stiff drink. LOL

In Out and About

Here is the gallery.

I hate the thought of the pool getting closed but it appears that this is one of the most fave times of year for the dogs. It's not cold. It's not hot and when it is not raining, play is created in and outdoors. 

They just thoroughly enjoy. 

Just found out today that the son-in-law has covid and he is going stir crazy being in isolation. We haven't seen them for weeks so no concern for us getting it. We still do outside visits. He works in an office and they socialize with friends often. I think this is the 3rd time they have had covid where I have not had it at all

WHO says end of COVID-19 ‘is in sight’ I hope they are accurate. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a normal winter with powdery snow that the dogs could enjoy? I hibernate all winter so not much changes for me. LOL The dogs just came back in from their run with Dennis. He wrapped his arm as he was afraid he would hurt it more but so missed the run with the dogs. I think this solution worked.Saturday we have a Tempie puppy 8 week visit. How did that happen? They will go home before the 3 crew. By the end of the month they are digging up our front lawn as Bell is putting in Fibre Optics. Dennis is thrilled. He thinks the cost will be similar to Tekksavvy but much faster. We shall see. As our house has the cable and Bell box for our entire street attached to our house. We get the digging. I told you the gardening could wait till next year. Yes, I am laughing. 

On the Hunt

Here is the gallery.

Dear Katie saw something running in the underbrush and off she went to see what it was. It is funny who decides to chase and who does not. 

As it was a cooler day, the dogs seem to want to be out more. Who can blame them? Me, I like it warmer. 

Pups play and stare at the adults. Sometimes they kiss them through teh pen. It is interesting to see who is interested and who is not.

All Day Rain Till Tonight

Here is a small gallery.

It rained most of the day so the gallery is a bit light. When it stopped they chilled outdoors as if to say - ahhhh let's just hang.

Supposedly rain again tomorrow. I get the feeling the pool needs to close but I do not want it to. Oh well....

Sage is in heat so now we get to separate the dogs at night and I get the gals and Nathan gets the boys in the guestroom. Let the fun begin. 

Outside Inside and Visit From Our Youngest Son Jon

Here is the gallery.

The dogs had fun inside and out. We had our youngest son Jon come to visit and he had a blast with the pups and well Stormy and Kinsey was over the moon to see him. The others were too but those 2 were crazy to see him. It was not a long visit but I am going to climb into a recliner and take a nap. How unlike me but I need it. Of course a nap wouldn't be a nap without dogs on my lap. 

Everyone loved the back yard. 

Happy 10th: 2 Blog Day

Hi Nathan and Darlah,

Magic is 10 today.

I’ve attached some pictures of Magic enjoying her cupcakes and toy for her birthday.

Hope you like them.

Swim Time?

Here is the gallery.

Not sure if Murphy has a pool but he decided to go for a swim tonight. He is a strong swimmer and swam to the stairs to get out. Nathan put a towel down on the chair and he rolled in the towel to dry himself. He was a riot! I think Ella was miffed as she wasn't invited to swim but seeing I end up having to dry her and I have other things to do - maybe tomorrow. Not today!

We had 2 puppy visits today so Dennis won't play his games with them till tonight. I also have to finish blogs and try to demat a dog. He's a tough one as he doesn't want to be dematted. Who does?

Dogs really love the lounge chairs. Often Nathan can't find room for himself. It's so funny!

It was a nice day!

Lazy Day

Here is the gallery.

We have a busy tomorrow. Today I washed 2 dogs and 12 puppies. Tomorrow 2 visits.

Dorothy was here and she did an amazing job. I came in after she was here and fell promptly to sleep in the recliner. My knee was bad today. I think I need to create a device that covers my knee at bedtime so the dogs don't lay on it. Ideas? For now I have been wrapping it with a comforter. 

The dogs are looking forward to tv time. Can you blame them?

Who Do I Want?

Gallery is here.

I had to share this photo that I received today. This is Meadow who is getting a new sibling from this crew we have here. She is intently watching and perhaps figuring out who she wants as a sibling. LOL

Me - I am mighty grumpy as my leg is unhappy till I take something for it. 

Dorothy did an amazing job with our garden. Oh my gad - I mean amazing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You can see the results in the gallery.

Mid Week Lazing

Gallery is here.

Dorothy weeded for us and now comes the fun of trying to figure out how to slip her some money. I must do something for you. Bring suit - swim tomorrow? Send me photos so I can make things for you!

I did something stupid I wanted to get bacon bits and pistachios and well our Costco didn't have. I walked around Costco and my knee is slapping me silly as I am in serious pain and taking pain pills now. I guess it was too early and well too much. Now to look online to see if they deliver these items. 

We are quieter today. Rosey came for the day - Daisy too. Winston and Ellie is here. Otto and Ringo comes this evening. Harlow departs this evening. 

It has been a busy summer but it is getting quieter. 

We have a 6 week puppy visit this Saturday but after that and Sunday swim perhaps?

Low Key Day

Here is the gallery.

It's been a warmish day but not hot. Nathan is taking his naps with the dogs that wanted to go. They all know the drill. Ellie decided Dennis is his human so she hangs out with him. She plays with the other dogs but knows where Dennis is always.

Archie departs tonight. He has had a fantastic time. It has become quiet. 

I have been using the pool pump for washing. It works. I am glad. I am going to take off the end to see if I can get more pressure or does that work the other way? We will find out. LOL 

The dawgs - as usual are having a great time. 

Tomorrow our electricity will be out for maintenence the electric company tells us. Oh what fun.

We have 3 dogs coming tomorrow longterm. We are excited!

Labour Day Concludes

Here is the gallery.

House is emptying out. Labour Day is coming to a conclusion. Some coming tomorrow. Wish teh weather was nicer for those that are away. Think it starts to warm up tomorrow. 

Dinner was interesting. No tag team barking for dinner - Benny and Harlow. Harlow departs Wednesday and Benny departed today. 

The foursome depart tomorrow and so does Archie. You would think that the dogs departing leaves lots of room on the bed. All it means is the remaining dogs spread out. LOL This is so true. Same with the tv room. 

We had a mouse on the deck. That usually means when it gets cold they will attempt to come in. :-( The dogs chased the heck out of it. No one caught but boy did they get excited. I hate mice and rats. Oh my
