No Gallery Day

Looks like one of the sticks was corrupted so its a no gallery day. You can look at the gallery on Raven's blog to see some of the dogs - visitors alike playing with the pups. Apologies. I was just at Staples today and who knew I needed another memory stick. Not I.  I took a grand photo of Harlow pouncing on Stormy and that went poof. I find it sad to have lost moments except in my brain.

We had sprinkles off and on but the dogs enjoyed it none the less. I kept combing away so I am not sure I enjoyed it as much but when I see them enjoying, the smile comes broadly on this face.

We shall see what tomorrow brings! New faces will be arriving! Some departing. What fun!

Two Updates Tonight

We had a lot of fun dogs today including Coco the Maltese. It was a blast even if I had to groom and groom and take mini breaks so I can enjoy too. Pizza Pizza on the menu tonight.

Here is the gallery.

The play was great and the fun was outstanding!

Happy 6th Birthday

PatchesHappy 6th birthday to Patches, Max and Abby. May they have a sensational day!

Abby

Both are Jeannie pups and they are still having play dates……. Forever sisters

Rainy Day

This is a shout out to Sylvia and William on their anniversary. She's here while they are celebrating. I am trying to keep the dogs combed out and clean but oh boy - that's a joke!

Here is the gallery.

Rocky - Willow's pup departed. Tenshi and Winston departs tonight. Ringo and Rosie arrived. It feels like old times having the dogs to visit. How nice is that! It is for us.

The dogs are in and out between rain. That's okay. It's the fun of catching the timing right. LOL

Chillin'

Mickey, Stone's brother was chilling behind Nathan's head. Since then Mickey has had a bath. :-)

Here is the gallery.

I noticed someone was chewing my baseboards again. Hmm who is teething.

Dogs had fun today running and jumping and well doing what they do the best.

Nathan's blood pressure was high so he has been in bed with a headache. He takes pills and it seems he forgot so today was a bust for him. Hoping he is better tomorrow. I need him to be as I have a ton of grooming.

I did weed a small bit but really growing tired of this marathon. We shall see if I give up. Who has time anyways. I want pool time. I think the dogs do too!

Rocky Pup, Adults and Well Play

Here is today's gallery.

Willow's Rocky pup is visiting and is literally having a blast. In or outside it doesn't matter. Fun is the topic of the day with pups and adults!

No swimming today but lots of play. No weeding either. Oh, I need to do more and the dogs need me to so they can run with the weeds and try to get me to go after them. Yes, that's a game. But we didn't do that today! But fun was had. Even Misty had a bath. She so loved me for it. LOL

Spirit's blog has an update, Raven's has an update...

Till tomorrow!

Messy As Ever

I decided not to groom today. My hand is telling me - break time so I looked at this gallery and laughed. This is how hard they play as they were combed out yesterday. Well, everyone but Brie and Tenshi who arrived today. I am debating - tomorrow or tonight - shall I comb out. I am just glad they have fun. Okay, I think I will break down and do some. Well, if Dennis is forgoing doing weeding. Me, I weeded all around the pool today. I am tired of weeding. I hate weeding.

Here is the gallery.

Rocky is about to be dropped off so I can't wait. Nathan will miss his arrival. He's at class with Nami.

Play Guys

Rusty and Stone was playing up a storm! It was delightful!

Here is today's gallery.

I weeded and weeded and weeded while the dogs helped empty my weed bin, drag it all over and although I gave them looks, I laughed in private. They had fun today so I did - well fun with everything but weeding. So much more to do even though Dennis is helping.

Short blogs as a nap is calling or more weeding. I am trying to decide.

Short Blog

Sorry - we had a really interesting day but we managed to find 98% rubbing alcohol. We use it for all sorts of things but for whelping - sterilizing things. We found out Purdy's only has a very small selection of chocolates. I was unimpressed. Oh well. The food court had many choices. We also stopped at Loblaws next to Markville and found their store is nicer than ours but it drove me nuts to see the cashier with a mask barely under her nose. Stupid silly stuff. I figure wear it or wear a shield or something but silly to wear under your nose.

No swimming today. Gallery will come tomorrow. I have dogs to play with and weeds to pull. Dennis has been at it for hours.

We now have the bottom deck closed off so we can take the pups out daily. I don't like the look but it is functional. Functional wins out all the time here.

Dogs are miffed as they like that deck but they will get over it. We are making room for them by pulling weeds. But they are learning to hang out with me on the top deck when I go outside or around the pool. The middle bed needs much weeding. I am off to see how much headway I can make.

Steamy Hot Today

We have not been swimming much lately. Too much grooming and pups and everything else but when someone asked, we decided it was a good thing to eek out sometime with the girls as a few are in heat. They needed the swim so I clicked. Misty always goes into the pool on the stairs. But today most times she was jumping in from the side. Bravo. Misty!

Here is the gallery.

I said let's do this again tomorrow and then looked at the weather. Oh well, it was a good idea.

Ellie the pup was here playing up a storm with her brother and Nami and of course with mom. You will see a couple of videos here. You will also see Murphy playing with Misty and that too is in a video I uploaded. Dogs came, dogs left. Only Parker and Harlow remain and both are play monkeys and really enjoy the fun that visitors bring.

Dennis is weeding in a big way. I need to go see what he is doing. Maybe he pulled out non weeds. LOL We shall see.

Hope everyone survived this heat!

It's Hot Today

I love this photo of Coco. She's adorable peeking out.

Here is today's gallery.

Adele, River, Teddy, Charlie, Lexi and Chester are departing today. It's been a truly fun house. Lots of grooming but worth it, I say!

It's steamy hot today with the humidex making it up to 47%.

Parker has been having the time of his life and he looks it too. LOL Actually everyone has been. We had Teddy here, Leti's puppy so she was thrilled and so was Nami. I so appreciate seeing the pups. It is wonderful watching the play.

Got to find time for dogs and the pool. Rather missing that but Nathan takes a nap usually at prime time for that. Oh well....

Think this week I am going to try to venture out to get cherry cordials from Purdys. I wonder how busy Markville is during the week. A quick in and out and food court food on my day off... watch - it won't happen. But I think a treat is in store. I have been grooming and grooming. LOL

What are you treating yourself with? Everyone needs a treat. LOL

Catching Rays

Here is Roxie enjoying the sun today.

I am having issues with errors in the gallery I built today so hoping it is okay. I uploaded it 6 times.

My grand daughter tried to groom Adele and River and now I am done Adele and tomorrow - River. It's interesting cause Adele now has ears up to her ear leather but this is how you learn. We will see how River turns out. LOL I have had a truly heavy day grooming. Tomorrow is the same - Monday too.

I did manage to get in the pool despite my schedule. I got about 20 minutes I eeeked out.

Dogs played. I clicked some inbetween groomings.

It was a good day but a busy one. As you can see, it's 8pm. LOL

New Fun

Teddy, Charlie, Lexi and Chester arrived today. Tenshi departs tonight. It's been a riot of a day. Although Charlie and Teddy are aware of each other, they are playing independently. It will be interesting to see who sleeps where.

Here is the gallery.

I managed to get in the pool for a half hour and tonight I am grooming. LOL I want to lay on the couch and chill hmmmm - which shall I do? I guess I can groom in the morning. Have to do Tenshi before departure.

The dogs are playing in such a fun way. They will all sleep tonight. In and out - play, play and play. No one but Teddy and Nami has napped. It's just been way too much fun.

Happy 2nd Birthday

Wishing all Beau’s siblings Is having a great birthday.  Kisses to Mama Leti and Daddy Stone.

Thank you Darlah and Nathan for allowing us to have Beau.  We all love this little nugget. Blessings to you and your family.

The Yan Family

Messy Times LOL

On that note, after I get off this blog, I will be combing out more dogs. They earned being messy as they played and played and played. Not true swimming weather but warmer than yesterday.

Here is the gallery.

If it wasn't for my desire to swim, this would be perfect weather. Can it stay all year?

I cooked up turkey bacon and the dogs were in heaven. They just LOVE it. They didn't even leave any for me. Okay, I gave them all but then thought later - would be nice to have a piece.

Tenshi and Brewer arrived and always manage to have fun. Tenshi wanted to eat everyone's food tonight. Special treat in it so who can blame her!

Tomorrow we have FUN! More dogs coming to play. How lucky are we? One is from the last litter so dear old Nami will be so excited.

I wanted to give Nami cross words today as she can't help trying to see the pups but Raven says they are too young. Did you hear that, Nami. We have a reprieve as she is in class.

Cool Time

I want to call her Sui (Sooey) vs Nami - not sure why but each time a new dog comes, she gets silly happy.

We have Parker that arrived today. Parker is playing with everyone.

Here is the gallery.

I also caught a photo of Lola sitting in the tv room on top of Nathan's head. I will post it tomorrow. It was funny enough to get me to run for the camera.

Nathan's brother and wife came for a visit. It was fun to catch up. The dogs gave them a ton of kisses.

One of my puppy people told me I should post this as she said she had not heard of it. If your dog is starting to knot, it is time to wash. Greasy hair mats easily especially with friction.

Wet and Dirty

They mostly played indoors as the rain came down and down and down.

Here is the small gallery.

We also had a surprise visit from Louis and his mom. Here is the gallery.

It was great fun. Nami especially loved the visit - Louis too. Yes, of course us adults did too!

Harlow just got groomed and bathed. She will be departing any time now. She knows bath and groom means departure. She was playing up a storm today and you can see it in some of the photos, I suspect.

Will we have more rain tomorrow? Starting to miss the pool.

Inbetween Rain

Well, Charlie, Buddy and Tucker departed today. Rain came then went and came and went and oh boy it teemed. No watering plants tonight. That saves time but no swimming today. I stood outside with Charlie and pulled driveway weeks. LOL I think that is called multi-tasking. But boy I will be seriously weeding once the pups can go outside. I am so far behind.

Here is the gallery.

We have cooked thick bacon, thin bacon and turkey bacon. The dogs like the turkey bacon in the air fryer the best.

We are taking out and rotating toys to play games. The dogs - some LOVE the toys and as the change daily, it's as if it is all new.

Sun is out. Dogs can go out now and it is hot. The day is almost done and finally it is pool weather. Well maybe tomorrow!

No Gallery Day

Okay - is that rain coming back? It came down in the droves then stopped and we went out then it rained and on and on. They say more rain tomorrow. Our plants need it. We usually water our plant pots at 9pmish so it is the most effective. None tonight.

Buddy and Tucker departs tomorrow after their grooming. Benji departed today. Tenshi came for a day visit and brought us some Gimbal and Nathan enjoyed most of it. We so love trying new things. So, we appreciate Sylvia and William.

The dogs say we are playing indoors as the humans have games they play when weather is bad. Thank gad for pads. Yes, sometimes it is good for dogs to be able to use pads and outdoors on days like today. Who wants wet feet wicked up the legs? Well, some of us say this is NOt for me!

Sage Says Yawn

Here is today's gallery.

Dogs enjoyed. Rain is coming, they say. I fell asleep sitting up today so this blog will be short. All I can say is Nami thinks she is a grownup.

More tomorrow. LOL
