Fun Fun Day

Here is the gallery.

We had a full house of fun today. I have much grooming to do. LOL Leaves in the house, stuck to them and wild abadoned fun. They so enjoyed each other and I enjoyed watching all of them. The play was great today. Those that went home are probably napping. Those that remain are napping after dinner.

We had a couple of videos uploaded that Nathan took. He should have taken more.

Our son Jon came over and outdoor furniture and pool stuff is away with the lone table and chairs that can stay out so we have something to sit on in the winter if we are so inclined.

It is going to be a fun winter as we will have pups playing in white stuff. I hate cold but I surely enjoy watching the pups in winter.

Will it snow a great deal? I can't remember a great storm for what 30 years when the city was shut down and we had a crazy neighbour that shovelled his way all day long to the main street. Those were storms. As Nathan says, we do not need a snowblower. We have our arms. All these years I think we still need a snowblower. Will we get one this year? I doubt it. But here is hoping.

Deep Fall

It's deep Fall and we are having fun. The pool cover is on and the dogs are running all over it as you will see in a couple of videos.

The weather was splendid without rain. A friend told me she is having slushy snow. We are lucky not here.

Here is the gallery.

We had a visitor Odin who slowly opened up and had fun. I love to see that in a 1st timer. The dogs are so inviting to others that are new. Havanese are truly special!

You will also see Pepper getting everyone to chase her. What a spirit. Ms. Daisy also found the cover fun and so did Katie - ih they all did!

Gucci was here and played her heart out. Ms Harlow is hunting chipmunks and she has Stone helping her. They just started this game but they both seem fascinated by their antics as if they want to play with them.

Brewer is excited to be here again and is playing in the leaves and had them all throughout his coat. I think it is time for Dennis to keep at it daily. lol Dogs like Brewer think the leaves are for jumping in and making a mess. I love his spirit.

Thank you to Sherry for a lunch treat - Phillies and thank you for Daisy's mom who gave us this box of Italian desserts that I must know where to buy from. Actually you all need to know. LOL Thank you to Pepper's mom for coffee and donuts. The donuts disappeared down Dennis throat in a flash. I feel spoiled. Not many days like that but today was it and I so appreciate it!

Oh and I started a blog for Tempie. She is in heat.

My ipad keyboard cover broke and a new one arrived and now I have lost my apple pen. We need trackers on them - well I do. I guess it will show up sometime. I am irritated at myself! How can you lose an Apple pencil - easy I say!

Cover and Rain

First thing this morning the pool cover went on. This is a safety cover that 4 adult humans can stand on.

This is the latest we have ever closed.

Here is the gallery.

Harlow was trying to figure out why this again? Yes, this means eventually the white stuff will come.

Instead of running all over it like they usually do, they walked on it. They smelled it and went okay. It may have had something to do with the impending rain.

Nice Fall Day

Weather is warmish for a Fall day. Hoping it stays that way. Good news, we may have photos of the dogs running over the pool cover. Supposedly we close tomorrow but I do not know what time. That is why I say we may. If it is late, the photos will have to wait till the next day as it gets so dark so early. We have never closed in November and the 9th - wow. Maybe it will feel like it is early when we open. Only 5 months to opening. I am not hopeful, am I?

Here is the gallery.

After the pool is closed we have to try to get a son over here to give Dennis help in moving the furniture inside. The dogs will miss it. We also have to get all the statues in but it will also give them more space to play and they rather like that. Nathan will probably keep a chair out that he can sit on - maybe under the gazebo. We shall see.

The dogs had a LOT of fun today. Dennis took up the leaves and the dogs did their best to ruin his plans. But good for him, he laughed about it. He also skimmed the pool and we are doing the last recirculation.

No gas line put under the ground. It will have to wait.

It's Sunday With a Time Change

I am not sure about you but the dogs knew 6am was really 7am and they let me know for that solid hour off and on. So much for an extra hour of sleep. Poor Dennis had to be up for an extra hour.

Here is a small gallery.

Ty came back. Oakley arrived  - both a high pleasure and Ms. Tenshi departed. Ms Harlow is fascinated with the puppies when I walk them around after their eyes open. I mean HIGHLY fascinated. LOL

We didn't get much of a gallery today as it got dark too early and Dennis forgot that dark was coming. He said blame it on him so I am. LOL

Look Who's 5

The Marco man is enjoying his 5th birthday! He wishes his siblings a huge happy birthday. Hope you are spoiled!

Byes and Hellos

Ms Pepper departed this morning. She looks just like Sage but a different colour. She has a super personality too. What a clown - a playful one that makes you laugh and laugh. Ms Sage got so excited to see her and she got so excited to see her canine mom.

Here is the gallery.

Mr. Ty comes back tomorrow. Tia and Benji arrived and are playing like crazy. Ms Frannie likes Truffie. LOL Ms Tenshi is here for the day.Oakley arrives tomorrow - hooray.

We still are waiting for the pool to be closed and when that happens we will do the furniture. I hate the furniture coming in as its a sign of winter coming. I guess it is November so it is time.

Thursday I am taking it as a no groom day. I need my hand to recover and just do pups for 1day to regroup. It will also give me time to play with the adults. Yes, I do that to. :-)

Yesterday was exceedingly busy so blogging was very late. I hope to finish earlier today.

More news on Spirit.

Can you believe I have a small crafting project and can't manage to find time to do it. maybe when the pups are older.

Short Blogging Again

Here is Bailey jumping at the camera. She's a riot.

Here is the gallery.

As you can see, I am really late. So we are short blogging it. I have 2 puppy blogs to do plus Spirit's blog.

Ty went home. Bailey is going home in a half hour. Nathan is tv watching with the dogs. I am blogging and in with pups trying to get blogs done.

The dogs had a ton of fun.

My pool is STILL not closed. argh.

Cool Play

What's a day without play?

Here is the gallery.

When pups are young yiu juggle a lot and you need downtime too so as soon as I finish this blog I will weigh the pups and Dennis and I are going to watch Foundations with the dogs and pray I don't fall sleep midstream. Dennis gets so impressed when that happens.

These days each time Ripley sees me he jumps up, wags his tail and gets so excited to see me. It's  wonderful feeling. I am in and out of the puppy room so this is often. LOL

Alfie is departing soon. Bonham was here - so long since we seen him and delightful. Mr. Ollie man departed and Frannie arrived. Mr. Brewer was an unexpected surprise and he just departed.

It was a good day but time to weigh and then watch TV after Mr. Alfie goes. No departures means no interruptions.

Getting Cold and Crazy

This is Charlotte on her back. She has Pepper here and is having the time of her life. Tomorrow Bailey comes hopefully before Charlotte departs. Plus Mr, Alfie is coming - so exciting. It is going to be a fun puppy play.

Here is the gallery.

If you look at the videos, I did have Charlotte and Pepper playing.

The dogs had a fun-filled day. Nathan is off to the last class with Ronnie, Kuna and Rebel and he forgot so here I was juggling and he hands me her to comb out. Now I have to go weigh pups.

It is a crazy house today and it will be for quite a few days - till a week from Thursday. Sorry... but our time is with the dogs vs blogs - but I try to do it all. Just forgive me for short blogging.

Happy 10th

Hi Darlah and Nathan!

Just wanted to share some photos from Lola’s 10th birthday.  It’s hard to believe that our puppy is double digits now.  She’s been precious to each and one of us.  Always full of love and happy to just hang out with her family.  Thank you for this beautiful dog.

Wishing Lola’s whole litter from Fiona and Phantom a very Happy 10th Birthday!!!

Lots of hugs from all of us.

Inga, David,

Brr Fall

It feels like winter out there - well almost winter. Nathan is wrapped in a jacket in a blanket of dogs in the back yard. Somehow the weather seems to be invigorating to them.

Here is the gallery.

Winston went home this morning. Rosey and Daisy will depart in a few minutes. I am behind in updates as I was grooming all day and inbetween checking and making sire pups are on. We shall see how I did when I weigh them tonight. Multi-tasking craziness.

The dogs love the play next door.

Katie is still here but Ruth sounds stringer every day. Hooray. We are glad!

Dennis told me to go dig up the bulbs, I am going to just replace next year. I just don't have it in me to go shovel them up. Sometimes you can't be super human.

Hide and seek treats was the operative game today and everyone managed to get a treat or 2. You just have to have fun!

Tomorrow Ollie comes overnight and Charlotte and Jaime (sp?) depart.

Dennis asked me to say thank you to Dorothy. She brought leftover candy and he is absolutely thrilled.

Deep Fall

We are slowly getting brushed and combed out today here and there as the human is able.

The gallery is HERE.

After having words with Misty (see her blog), it has been pretty quiet. Jamie and Charlotte arrived and they are now gleefully in bed with Nathan and so is Harlow and Winston. Nathan usually takes whomever wants to go for a nap then says he gets no sleep. LOL Katie decided to stay downstairs and play and now she is snoozing.

Harlow has been here enough that she has her spot in bed, in the tv room, in the kitchen. She likes to sit on a chair next to Dennis while he plays a game and hope he treats her. Oh she has his number.

Our pool is still not closed and I called and yes this week or next. This will be the latest closure but if they are this busy, it means others are closing late too. They say there is a record number of pools this year. I best get my opening date early. LOL

Misty particularly was having a meltdown about Halloween trick or treaters. She has pups to protect. She had me so stressed last night and today.

Dogs are going to have a great run next door with Dennis after Nathan is up. He just has a sea of grass and let's us use it while he is away. They all love it! When the pool cover is on they will love that too.

Hope the white stuff stays away till December. I may have to get jackets for the pups. LOL

Ready for Halloween

Pepper says Happy Halloween!Rusty and Luna are ready for Halloween. Are you?

Halloween Day

We hardly get any trick or treaters and tonight we will be shutting off our lights as the dogs really dislike the ringing of the bell constantly so why insist on irritating them. We have been so busy, we have not had time to get candy besides. I think last year we had 2 kids. So lights out. Sounds selfish - I know but I care about bombarding the dogs with the door. That's my take. What are you doing?

Here is the gallery.

Winston arrived today for a short stay. Kally and Rocky departed. Dogs here for grooming will depart. Dennis is now in bed till 10pm. I have been so busy that I have been unable to update blogs.

I almost had a meltdown today. I do not have my comb that helps me demat and I had dog to demat so my hand is on fire. The comb has been discontinued. Sherry came to the rescue and is bringing me her comb. Now that is a true friend. I usually get through it but with juggling, pups, grooming etc..... well it will pass. I so worry about pups at this stage. I watch them on my ipad while grooming. Even when there is nothing to worry about, you just do. Much responsibility with dogs and pups. I take it serious. If the dogs aren't having fun, I am not happy but they have been having fun so I do smile. Good news, they are always having fun and why not. They do not have to do anything but rest, play and put up with my grooming. To be a dog - at least here... the best!

Hope you all have a Happy Halloween. It's time to feed the dogs and I need to help as Dennis is sleeping till 10. Look forward to taking a non groom day weekly and maybe a day off when the pups are 5 or 6 weeks old. It can't be a full day off as this is the play upstairs fun time at that age.

PS: Dennis did do the run game with the dogs. Thank you no rain!

Getting Normal

Here is a mini gallery. It's wet outdoors. The dogs really do not want to be out in the wet. I can't blame them. Can you?

Short Blog Again

Here is the gallery.

I need a day or 2 to regroup. If Sage had her pups last night instead of a long labour, I would need less, I suppose. As we have Spirit in heat, Nathan slept with the boys and Dennis with the girls. This happens when gals are in heat.

Rocky hadn't been here since precovid and he was a bit unsure at first as we are finding occurs at times due to covid but like a flower, he has already opened up and is playing. It is so nice to see the dogs you have not in awhile. It is so nice when you see them go ah ha  it's this place - the fun safe place.

Oakley goes home today. I need to figure out when I can fit in grooming for everyone but recovery first.

I am now on puppy watch. Nathan is napping and Dennis will nap when he gets up so he can do night duty.

I am having salsa and chips for lunch as it is easy, Yesterday was a soup day for all meals.

May or May Not

Vet says today or tonight for Sage so I am doing a short blurb here in case I am otherwise distracted. Opus has cancelled. Harlow is not here. Maui will go home shortly. He's been having a blast.

Here is the gallery.

Thank you Dorothy for soup.

That's it. Hope you understand.

Happy 4th

Hi Darlah and Nathan, 

Today is Bonnie’s 4th birthday!  I can’t believe she is 4 years old already.  She has been such a joy! Bonnie says hello to her parents Adele & Stone, as well as all her litter mates…. Bailey, Marlie, Thunder and Finn!

Denise & Bonnie 🎉🎂
