I am late as I combed out this motley crew and oh boy what a wonderful warm day today.
They did get a comb out - honest - lol. Leo departs tomorrow and he gets groomed and bathed at the crack of dawn.
Kally joined us today and she is such a small cutie who is full of fun. She was all over Nathan when he sat otside on the zero gravity chair. Here's to warm weather despite the stay at home order.

Having issues with my computer so let's try text till I can figure it out. We had Luna and Daisy here and they looked so alike that it was scary. Who is who? We also had Ollie and Rusty here. Ellie, Reggie and Murphy was here. It was a busy house but most was here just for teh day and a fine day it was!
I can't believe it is going on 10 and here I am. Almost time for bed but got lots to do before I crawl into bed.
Thank you, Ronnie for bagels and the ice cream. When I have this much grooming, I tend to just drink water and forget about trying to eat otherwise I fall behind. So, a bagel and comb out multi-tasking was grand.

This is Panda. She is our Roxie's sister. She was owned by my good friend Lynda that has passed. It is almost Lynda's birthday so Lynda is in my thoughts. Her husband is in China with a return complicated by covid. Panda and Logan reside with the daughter and I am thankful I get to see them. I do think of Lynda each time I see them. I miss our chats, the meals and all of it. I still feel incredibly sad.
Panda and Logan had a blast today. Logan, to this day still hates a comb out but loves the massage, the treats so he goes okay... you have to. The moral of this story is persist.
We have Daisy, Ollie, Luna and Rusty coming tomorrow. Now that will be fun. Bella came for a visit and groom today.
Here I am blogging at what time? LOL Now on to the other blogs... It is tv time and Nathan is covered with dogs and I have dogs sitting at my feet as I type. I wish I was in the recliner. I do a lot of wishing. LOL

Another year celebrating with just mom, Bonnie, and myself. Once this pandemic is behind us, I will always cherish seeing and hugging my friends and family. Until then we adapt. Bonnie has been such a ray of sunshine through all of this....she is a treasure!
Take care, Denise and Bonnie 🐾🐶
Hi Nathan and Darlah!
Wish you a happy Passover and hope you're having a great weekend. 😊
Bailey had a treat of salmon and rice today.
She immediately went into a down to ask for it haha. And it was gone in a minute. She loved it! Also got a photo of the signature Havanese head tilt. ❤️
Hope you have a great weekend! Talk to you later 😊

We had a really fun day. They all eventually got brushed and then did their best to get a mess again. That's okay.
Everyone was playing including Sage.
They ran. They jumped on each other and smiled. Couldn't get any better than that!

Archie arrived this morning for a play date and he was out of his mind happy to see everyone. He played and played and played. Play dates are good for the soul.
As soon as I finish the blogs, I have to comb out everyone.
Murphy boy arrived. Harlow is departing tonight. Shlomo and Chloe departed - here for grooming and play. Shlomo got dirty out back so I had to redo his undersides and I was late getting him done.<sigh> But he had fun!
Reggie is the oy that he is having fun here. I need to give him a bath again.
The dogs actually had an exceedingly great play day today. Some were sailing through the air, on back feet - just enjoying life. It makes me happy when they are happy.

Stormy was thoroughly combed out this morning and this is her look this afternoon. Gad love her. She knows how to have fun and how to sunbake. Shall I comb her again?
Dennis didn't get too many photos in but everyone is having a great time.Leo has arrived for a few days. Ripley and Brewer arrived for the day.
Tomorrow is stores closed Good Friday and Sunday is Easter. For those that celebrate, I know we are in lockdown and I so wish we were not but start looking at learning a new thing to get you through the holiday. There is also a few days left to Passover. Hope the matzah is treating the tummy well.
Spirit and Sage's tummy is growing. Pups are looking at each other. Much to celebrate and avoid news. Be proactive and enjoy the havanese!
Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at 8:11PM Sorry - as I told you yesterday, I will have late nights due to a grooming marathon before Easter. Now if we go into lockdown, maybe my load with lighten. It is always crazy just before any holiday.
Dogs had fun. It is feeling cooler. Marcie, Coco, Zoe, Noah and Murphy departed. Marcie and Coco was here for the day. These day visits are so good for them as they get an outlet too that is so necessary with these covid times.
But short blog - apologies... I am trying.

We had Opus out in the hall with Spirit and Sage as they were eating their afternoon meal. Opus sniffed some but didn't eat. I guess it wasn't to his liking. Opus is such a doll and Raven remembers him. I think it made his day.
I am late blogging as I had a full day grooming. It's like that straight through till Saturday. I think it's the Good Friday/Easter spruce up. So, my blogs may be late. Didn't have a lot of dogs for Passover. hmmm
Dogs and Nathan truly enjoyed the weather. I told Nathan we opened the pool last year on April 14th. He said nah May. I said we have to get the heater fixed so April? We have this ongoing battle every year.
They say snow this week. Oh mother nature...
Monday, March 29, 2021 at 6:54PM I can't seem to upload any photos here so here is the gallery.
I will post as I can. I need to get off the computer as right now I want to heave it out the window.
It snowed lightly this morning then got relatively hot. Dogs were confused. Me too. LOL Mother nature is keeping us on our toes. I mean it is still March.
Dennis is trying to get me to watch City on a Hill. I have watched the 1st. It reminds me of the Wire - that type of grittiness. I have an extremely full day grooming tomorrow so I may somewhat watch while I groom. We shall see.
Think I am going to quit and reboot the machine while I am ahead. Sorry about that. I am a computer geek from way back when. I need to figure out what is wrong.

This is a blast from the past day. It's raining. It is muddy and I have a class at 5pm that I need to do and won't have time to do much less.I will play catchup tomorrow.
This is Truffie and Nathan above.
Brewer is with us till Tuesday night. He just arrived.
Jeannie playing with pups.
This was Trigger after a haircut
This is Katie and Trouble.
Cheating...
I hope you enjoyed these photos from the past. It is fun to do this every now and then.

Nathan brushed her today. Really - he did. Oh Rebel, you are such a character.
Everyone was brushed and combed out early - not that you can tell. It is brisk outside. I guess the warmth is gone.
Dennis did the chase game. It was so fun to watch. Now it is tv time till another outside!
The dogs had such fun today!
Friday, March 26, 2021 at 6:24PM 
All of a sudden the temperatures dropped. We always get teased with warmth and the cold always comes and then comes April and we get more warmer days. Dogs do not mind. Humans mind. LOL
Tonight, I finish grooming everyone then maybe watch Transplant as I do.I fell seriously behind watching it.
Have I ever told you that the reason I look forward to bed is I am tired but I get snuggles from the dogs always. Oh yeah - Nathan too. hahahaha
Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 7:34PM 
This is Bailey smiling. I kept trying to get a photo of her and she was a moving target. She was testing my camera skills. LOL
Gallery is Here. Not sure if I got them all.
I am late - apologies - playing catchup after yesterday and just finished grooming so I still have to build out the galleries.
Noah and Zoe have taken over the TV room. They decided the cushie spots were theirs much to Brewer sulking. So he waited and when they went out he decided he needed his spot vs going out. I swear they are kids in hairy bodies. I should get up and see who is where but Brewer has gone home and by the time he is back they will have departed. My spot no mine. No words - no grumpiness just creativity on how to get the spot you want.
Weather is still staying warm. So nice. Got to do the other blogs then the galleries.
Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at 4:18PM 
As it is my birthday, no gallery and short blogs. I hope you understand. Everyone that made my birthday special - thank you. I will play catch up tomorrow.
Dogs are enjoying the day as they all got duck treats as their special treat just because they are who they are!

Hi Darlah and Nathan. Hope all is well!
Thanks for the b-day wishes for PJ. Hope all the other siblings had great days as well.
He certainly had lots of attention yesterday from us. He is such a nice boy. It was really nice to hear about the other litter mates and see some of the pictures. Here I am attaching one of PJ (on the right) and Lucy. That was taken yesterday when they were patiently waiting for a treat.
Take care !
Juan.
Hi Nathan & Darlah,
Olive was thrilled to have a shout out on your site today for her birthday! She feels very old but everyone she meets asks if she is a puppy!
We bumped into Nora and Shady a few weeks ago on our walk :)
Hope you are recovering well Nathan!
Meredith
Happy Birthday to Murphy above, Saffron, PJ, Leo, Maggie and Olive. Hope I got them all.
To this day these 2 know they are sisters and treat each other accordingly.
Monday, March 22, 2021 at 5:49PM It was mighty warm today. Dogs were playing and Stormy had a bath and did I see a photo of her? Nah Dennis takes photos different. I look to include. He clicks depending on who is where when he has a camera. That's okay.
The dogs had fun. It is supposed to stay warm like this till Wednesday. Keke was laying on top of Noah and he was letting her - and she was fast asleep. I grabbed the camera and she's up.
Sunday, March 21, 2021 at 5:08PM 
It is downright warm for the past few days. I hope it lasts. It usually doesn't, Even in April we get some cool ones but I am too busy to laze outside. I walked out on the deck to see the dog and Nathan then came back in to finish my to do list for the day.
Dennis or Nathan take photos. I have not had the time.
Some of the dogs enjoy the air and some decided it was better indoors. Our thermostat says 72f inside and we do not have heat or air on. We have 2 heatlamps for the pups. I so yearn to open the windows but I can't till the pups are 3 plus weeks old.
It's quite nice with the nice weather. The dogs have renewed interest in the birds. It makes you smile as it is as if it is their tv - zoning in on the movement.
Zoe, Noah and Keke have arrived today. Tchico and Winston departs. Keke is a Sage puppy and she is on the smaller end as that is what is in Sage's line. She is an incredible amount of puppy fun.
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. The sun is out and the air is clean. The dogs and us can't want for more though the pool would be nice. LOL
Saturday, March 20, 2021 at 5:16PM 
Nathan and the dogs got to laze in the sun. Me, I have been grooming and now updating the blog. Soon I have to comb out the rest of the dogs. I have an insane week until Wednesday.
Here is the gallery before I got to pick up a comb for the ones soaking up the sun. LOL I want to soak in the sun too. Dreaming of the pool...
Friday, March 19, 2021 at 8:52PM 
I can't believe I am so late in updating the blog.
Here is the gallery. I so feel there are times that I start at 7am and do not finish till 10pm when I crawl into bed. Lately it is. Oh well...
Just know that I am doing my best to get the blogs done. As you will see in my timestamps, I don't sleep too much at night either. I can't help but watch the pups and when you see a long video, you know I fell asleep to wake up to stop the recording.
Tenshi has departed. She was delightful to have here. Archie and Tchibo and of course Harlow and Reggie are here. Archie is a young pup and full of fun. His Momma loves him and has been cleaning him.
Tomorrow we get to see Ellie, Logan and Panda. It is another busy grooming day but have to pay the bills. :-) Plus nothing like a clean havanese, don't you know!
Next day off is the 24th - well semi day off as still have pups, blogs, laundry etc to do but no grooming. Till then!
Good news is Nami is out of heat. Hooray! That is one less thing to worry about as you must be careful with the boys while they are in heat and Nami is still a puppy - way too young to have pups!
