Balance is Important

It's very important that moms get snuggles, play time and silliness. Just because you are a mom doesn't mean you can't let loose, climb into a fish and have a crazy old time.

Reality is, you should. Life needs to be fun even when you have responsibilities.

I make sure moms know they can play and enjoy and even crawl up next to me in a recliner and watch TV like we usually do.

I can't imagine if a mom was made to not have balance but simply all responsibility what kind of mom would she be?

It's so important for them to love motherhood and the entire experience or they shouldn't be bred, imho.

Moms here get full body massages each day along with their grooming, extra food with yum gourmet food above and beyond the other adults. They can go through a full roasted chicken along with their kibble in a day when feeding so many. What they want, they get and the moms know it and relish this experience.

I do believe a happy and healthy mom makes for pups that are happy as well.

I have to say, this crew is delightfully happy.

She Does it Again

Spice took breed again today and got her championship. Wow, so fast for this gal. She still has 2 shows this weekend to do as Nathan promised a ride to someone otherwise I swear he would be taking a siesta and so would Spice but instead maybe they will pool it tonight and deal with 2 more shows till Specialty time then she will just hang out and play unless Nathan wants to keep her having fun in the ring.

Does she like showing? It appears so. Does she like so many baths? NOT a chance.

Do you realize you can dry out the hair washing so much so I use a very specific human conditioner that restores the hair moisturizer, blow dry on low (takes twice as long) and then after Sunday no matter how dirty she gets, she will have a break for a week or 2. Knowing her, it will be minutes that she is dirty.

We are so very proud of our Spice and look forward to hanging out at Steven and My's house so she can play with their 3. That she will LOVE!
