After Grooming

Stay Tuned - won't get to this blog till after I finish grooming. Well just finished grooming. Harlow just departed. Ty departed earlier. Silly and Simon are having a great time. Tia and Benjamin are here. This is Benjamin and he is full of beans. Tia keeps a close watch on him. LOL

This is a no gallery night. I have to get up and start grooming with coffee in hand at 7am as we have puppy visits and we have dogs departing. That's when I have time.

Now about those videos... I do not edit my videos. I simply have no time but sometimes Nathan says a swear and I do delete that whole video as we are aware children may be watching. Two days ago he tripped over the xpen and he went F%$# while i was videoing the pups. Go figure and it was a good video.. No matter how good that video is - gone. Otherwise what you see is what is going on.

Rain and Teeth Cleaning

We had 12 dogs here to get their teeth clean. Meadow was just here for a groom. To say they did a great job is an understatement. Fresh breath too.

Here is a mini gallery.

It has been raining way too much so we clicked when it wasn't and well I groomed all day too. It was a crazy day truly. So short blogs are necessary.

We also had an overnight visitor that is not a havanese. He's in the galery. He is a lovely boy! Plus Bailey the havanese pup was here but she's in the puppy gallery.

Swim and Dental

We had a cancellation for dental cleaning tomorrow. If interested, let is know at darlah@potechin.com Drop off is early morning and pick up later in day. I can tell you the job they did on Raven was amazing. It was well worth the $$ but I need to know by 9am tomorrow.

Ty and Harlow went swimming today and they wanted to. Daisy looked at us cross-eyed. I will spare you, Daisy. LOL

Here is the gallery.

Rheo is doing scent training. How fin is that and he is good at it.

Dogs truly enjoyed the day.

We have a Yorkie who is visiting is called George. He is doing really well. He has never been away from his home so we didn't know what to expect but you know we always make them feel comfie and loved. He is a sweetheart.

Busy day today but a fun one!

Issues Uploading

I am having issues uploading photos and galleries. I apologize so this will just be text with a photo of Ty.

Tomorrow warmth arrives again and Ty and the pups will swim tomorrow. I love swimming days and well walking around with slippers and a sweatshirt is ridiculous at the end of June. I hope September is a warm one.

The dogs love this coolish weather. The inbetween seems to suit them just fine.

Nathan continues to maintain the pool and he is doing an amazing job at it - him and his pool cleaning machine. I used to be the pool person and one day he took it away and I went ahhh one less thing.

Nathan went to his cardiologist. and no more visits till December. That suits him fine and me too.

It's already after 730 and I have this idea to blanket myself with dogs and watch tv. Can I get away with it? Tomorrow through next wee or so is a busy one so you must have those moments that mean a great deal to you and the dogs. We have our priorities. LOL

Visiting Fun

This is Radar, Stone's brother and littermate. He came to play with his Patches. We have not seen them in a long time - thanks to covid - so it was amazing to spend time with them today. Radar came in owning the place. Patches had some hesitancy as to where am I for a few minutes and then it clicked and she was so excited too. It was like - oh yeah this place. It was so nice!

Dennis hardly got any photos and well I must admit I wanted to see and play with Patches and Radar. It's really been a long time.

Here is the mini gallery. I promise to do better tomorrow.

I promised to get Ty in the pool but not in this weather. brrrr

Still he is having fun and so is Harlow and Brewski.

Me, I am in long pants, a jacket and missing swimming but hopefully we can get the pups swimming before the family visit. Oh Mother Nature do you hear me now?

Busy Times

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow we have a vet visit for the pups so it will be busy tomorow. Friday we have the cleaning teeth come to our house folks so that will be an all day event. Saturday we have puppy visits. Sunday I have 5 dogs departing. That's only half of it so we are busy - well I am busy. 

Dogs had a blast. We had a downpour just when I was going to swim when I finished grooming. Nathan is with Rebel for class. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch dinner. I am blogging at almost 8pm.

The dogs are literally waiting for Nathan for tv time. Coco is about to depart. I need to do another 2 blogs. LOL

What a Happy Day

This was Archie after he got spruced up. He was playing with Dennis and having a blast.

See the gallery.

Archie is now home and so is Coco and Diamind gal. It was a fun day. Nathan got his nap in. It was a pool day. I went out for 20 minutes and got a burn.

We had terrible food truck food. Oh well.

Dogs enjoyed inside and outside.

Hope your farger's day was a grand one. Pups, dogs, human kids - any and all makes you a dad and the best part is unconditional love. Hope it was a great one.

Nice Full House

Here is the gallery.

We celebrated Father's Day today vs tomorrow as it's the daughter's birthday. I have a lot of grooming and well - it all made sense. Nathan requested smiked meat sandwich for his meal and I had a veal sandwich that was sort of crunchy. Okay, it really wasn't good but it was not my day. I am glad Nathan's was great.

We have a fun bunch of dogs gere - pups too. Coco and Diamond are making it extra fun. We have Ty, Daisy, Harlow, Archie and Diamond hanging out and they are truly having a great time. Archie, Diamond and Coco depart tommorrow.

It's a busy week as we have Nathan's doctor, the vet, baths for the pups and another visit. On Tuesday we get to see Radar and Patches. It has been so long so we are so excited. They are just coming for the day but we are excited.On Friday the people are coming for teeth cleaning. Friday with groomings, dental cleanings and puppy baths will be crazy but then I rest watching everyone with the pups on Saturday.

No one swam today but Nathan got in and out of his swimsuit a few times but it was just bordering warm. The dogs kept looking - time yet? No, I am afraid it needs to be warmer.

Rain, Sun Make Up Your Mind!

This is Coco. She is visiting. What a cutie patootie she is. She is so full of fun.

Here is a mini gallery.

Not much to report today due to the weather and well Dennis that keeps hurting his hand over and over.

Dogs refused to go out in the rain. When the rain stopped they thought why not. LOL Nathan also stays outside other than his nap. Why not...

Not Warm Enough

Sky says when are these slouches going to take me swimming. Let's get the hot weather first. Mother Nature is - well off her meds or something. We want to get the pups in too, Sky - Why!

Here is the gallery.

I proceeded to brush everyone out though Nathan reminded me I forgot Ella. So funny to point that out. In the gallery they look like I did nothing though Sky doesn't look so bad.

Nathan was stuck at the hospital for the day waiting for a surgeon to get out of surgery. He said yep looks like you have a suture in there but let's wait a week or 2 as opening up may make it worse. It's this little thing.

When he got back he napped and the dogs really wanted to swim, I get that.

Sherry was here for a bit and well that makes me happy to have and outside social. She had to get her sewing machine fixed and I am an inbetween spot. Murphy got to hang out with her sister Saffron.

Tomorrow Leo departs. Archie and Coco comes till Sunday. Hope the weather warms up for Father's Day.

Nathan keeps stealing every ripe strawberry. He's not sharing with Jeannie.

Cool Times

We are starting to see dogs we have not seen in a long time. It feels like normalcy is creeping in.

Here is the gallery.

Coco the maltese was here (out of her mind happy to be here) and so was Bailey and Logan and Panda for the day. We also have Leo for a couple of more days and Ms Daisy and Harlow. Both Bailey and Coco played with the pups and you will seed that in the videos and the gallery on Sage's blog.

The dogs sure like this cooler weather. Me, not so much but I groomed all day. I get to see Sherry and Murphy tomorrow and well I always enjoy that!

I washed and cut Bailey and she went out and rolled in the mud today as Dennis had watered. He won't do that again but honestly I just laughed and we washed her again much to her chagrin. I bet she remembers rolling in mud equals 2 baths. Time will tell.

It was a fun day despite a long work day. Sometimes you just have to laugh about it.

Nathan goes to his doctor tomorrow so they can lance a graft site as it is weeping. He only waited 4 months. LOL Has it been that long? I think so. Time just goes so fast - too fast.

Hope all of you are enjoying the cool. May Father's day be a hot one.

Messy Day

We hung out. We chilled and to be honest I didn't feel like much else so it is good to have a partial day off.

PS: the dogs love it when I do!

Here is a mini gallery.

Nothing like the dogs....

Rain and Must See Video

This is Rebel after she came iin from the rain. Tonight she is in class all nicely brushed and was excited to go to class. Last week she didn't know where she was going.

Here is the gallery.

The dogs sat with me under the gazebo and I took a puppy or 2 out to do some conditioning to loud noise and it was very loud. Iff and on it rained.

Today we got a video from Nami's sister's home - a Stormy pup and to me it is a must see video!

Sunshine Heat Rain

Sorry short blog. Close lightening. Pouring rain then steamy heat and the dogs were inside safe.

That's all I can say as I am going outside to enjoy the craziness. Wil the dogs come? We shall see!

Chillin'

Here is the gallery.

Nathan sits in this gravity chair the most as he says that it helps his back but I secretly think it is due to all the attention he gets. As we have a popup tent in this spot, the dogs get to sit in the shade too and they love it!

Dennis is now out with the pups and some dogs and Nathan is with the rest other than the 2 moms. Me, I will soon be grooming.

It was a fun day for all. Still have to put the stuff bac where we made room for everyone but we will get there an besides the dogs like this new setup. LOL

Oh to Be a Dog

I think the dogs have quite the life. Play, eat, laze around and just enjoy life. I need to be a dog in my house. LOL

Here is a small gallery. Dennis didn't get everyone as it was a hectic day. Tomorrow will be the same. Dennis played a hide and seek game with fun rewards - duck treats for all no matter how they did. He is an equal opportunity guy. He just gives the winners theirs first.

It's 920 and I need to start doing dishes. Tomorrow I have to do a full groom on a dog before the visit and between the visits and after the visits. Oh boy...

Pool Watching

Murphy was watching me in the pool. Today, Sherry came by and brought phillie cheese steak and poutine - plus ice cream yum. The idea was to swim but she never got around to it due to work but we so enjoyed ourselves. Maybe when she picks up Murphy she can swim. I won't give her wilted flowers again. LOL That's an inside jike - but oh I tried.

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow will be a busy day as we have puppy baths and photo ops. LOL I also have a few adults and Harlow to bathe so this blog may be short and the others will contain individual bath photos.

Then Saturday a puppy visit. Sunday - rest? Nah got Daisy departing and then I will hit the pool weather allowing!

Too Hot and Muggy

Even I decided it was time to come indoors with this heat. It's not just the heat but the mugginess.

Daisy was over visiting and had a great time!

See the mini gallery. Dennis didn't take many photos. Nathan is still laying outside under an umbrella and I wanted to get the blogs done earlier than my usual these days.

Dogs go in and out of heat but we are always mindful that it may get too hot.

Visits Are Wonderful

This is Phoenix with Raven. You can find him in the videos of the pups and in this gallery. You will also find him in the puppy gallery and videos as he played with the younger set.

Raven so enjoyed him and he enjoyed everyone. What a wonderful being.

It is muggy as ever outside. It has sprinkled off and on. I need to cut paths so people can walk down them on Saturday when we have the 6 week visit.

they say the air quality is not great today so we did a lot of short visits outside and lots of playing indoors.

Rusty and Luna are with us for the day. Daisy till Sunday and harlow is patrying hearty!  They are so enjoying. It is great to start getting visitors. It has been a very long time.

I heard all restaurants downtown have their patio tables booked and campgrounds - well dog people are already booked. People are excited about more freedom this weekend and we are thankful the pups can see humans.

It begins....

Too Hot to Handle

Think this heat is getting too much for the dogs. It's a no gallery day as mostly they said enough! I want air plus Dennis simply didn't click.

Ford made an announcement about this weekend. Nathan has Rebel in her 1st class - thank you Covid.

My body is having a revolting experience due to pollen. For the last week we have had yellow pollen all over our furniture and most everything. How do I know its the pollen that I am reacting to? I started cleaning it upclose and I am sneezing non stop, my throat is itchy so I took a hose and washed it off things from afar. I would love to know where it is coming from but if it is bothering me it has to be bothering the dogs.

This is a tomato plant that Dorothy gave me and it has gone wild. Tomatoes already growing. Thank you, truly!

These are my strawberries that survived the winter outdoors. That's a plastic pot and to dress it up, I put a vinyl saying on it. I took them all out of the pots I had hanging and placed it in 2 pots and they are thriving. Then I planted beans in the hanging pot. One thing I noticed was my chives have disappeared. Strange as they always come back.

We have a rather large rabbit that seems to be stupid or unafraid, It walks past me while I am weeding without a concern. I have convinced myself that my unruly garden needs to be so things like rabbits have homes. LOL That's my excuse and I am sticking to it. Only Halle seems to chase it. The others just look.

Nathan had to pick up a part that we needed to repair a sink and he said NO ONE was in the garden center. hmmmm

Looks like rain is coming the next 2 days. That's okay. Phoenix is coming and I get time with him. Can't get better than that!
