Busy Day

It was a very busy day today. Dogs had a ton of fun. Brewer is a riot. I say find the treats and he goes right to the front with our bag that we have at the front that is going to class tonight. Of course there are treats in that bag. hahahah

Brewer, Clarity and Farley depart tomorrow. Abigail and Bentley depart Saturday. We seem to have a crazy busy weekend. 

Here is today's gallery and they are all Dennis photos. 

I will post photos etc of Kai after class. Hopefully all the practice this week works. :-)

Icy Day

You know the rain we had yesterday - well it got cold and it is now ice again. Dennis took all of the photos. I had a day of grooming. 

Here is today's gallery.

Guess who is visiting? Abigail and Bentley. It is so nice to see them. Abigail went crazy to see me but so did Bentley. They look so much alike.

Be sure to check Adele's blog to see an update of Finn.

Amy was over for a bath. 

Miss Willow should have been wild Willow. You see she escapes through the gates over and over again. Grow little one so you can't do that. She is driving me CRAZY!

Dennis didn't click all of the dogs. He asked me if I want to attach a camera to his head. lol

Tomorrow I have lots of grooming and class... so 

It's TV time and the dogs played hard. Nathan said they just opened their eyes, peered at him and went back to sleep. they have had a full day of play.

Happy Birthday: Two Updates

Hagia wants to say happy 2nd birthday to her siblings. They celebrated it a couple of days ago but didn't want to not take the opportunity to say - happy - happy!!!

2 Updates Today: Wet Times

We had flooding in the back due to the rain and muddy prints are certainly coming in the door but they don't want to go off the decks. Glad we have 2. I am hoping tomorrow is dryer. The dogs have had enough and so have I. 

Here is the mini gallery.

You can count on the dogs liking dry vs wet. I am not sure why. Though Risa doesn't care. 

We tried hiding the treats in the couch today as a game and oh boy flying cushions everywhere. Not sure that worked but it did for them.

Hoping for sunny times tomorrow. We need some outdoor runs.

Panda and Logan just departed and Lynda amd her daughter in law asked to see Trouble. They got to hold and cuddle with her. Quite nice moments. I should have clicked!

Greetings

Panda says I know you Trouble and then they played and played! It was a VERY wet rainy day today so we have very few photos. Apologies. 

Here is the gallery.

I combed out everyone but they do not appear to be. This rain is a killer to nicely groomed hair.

They say rain for tomorrow too.

We spent a lot of time in the tv room. It's perfect to groom and relax when its so messy. Sounds crazy but it works.

Willow also went for her shots. See Jeannie's blog for an update.

I was going to wash Sparky today but think it will wait till Wednesday as why defeat the job. heh I am waiting for Logan and panda too as its silly to wash and just go out and need another bath.

We played a game of hide the treat and Brewer was the winner. hahahahaha

What a Day

What a wet mucky day but it is warmer. It's melting!! If it stays this way tomorrow the pups will go outside seeing that they are apt to get dirty.

Clarity and Farley is coming back tonight. Their mom is selling her home. If you know someone looking for a truly special home, check it out here. It's worth a look see for anyone looking to buy. This means 3 dogs I will have to rely on email to see and hear about. sniff

Dolly and Trouble fit in like they have always been coming. Trouble is being Ms Social.

Here is today's gallery.

Rheo's mom sent an update. Please check out Roxie's blog to hear what Rheo is up to.

Rosie departs any minute. She's had a blast. Murphy departed.She decided Momma was more enticing than her dinner. I get that!

Penny wants to be the only one on Nathan's shoulder in the tv room. She was so funny.

It's been a very busy day. I am tired. I can't multi-task. I was iming Bonnie's mom instead of Nathan. Can you imagine if I was upset with Nathan and screaming at him, as much as you can in messages. I would have been redder than I was. Thanks for understanding, Denise.

I used to run online meetings with a variety of famous people and I was able to muti-task flawlessly. Not anymore. maybe it's not age. It may simply be lack of sleep or downtime. 

Oh well, I now need to get the galleries up and the videos from the puppy visit. We had a lot of people here. Can you imagine coming out of your bag to look around and see all these strangers? LOL You will have to check out Leti's blog to see how they did. I am still working on the videos and getting them live.

Not Much of an Update

Bonnie had a lot of fun visiting here. As I had a LOT if dogs to do today, including Leti's pups, I didn't click many photos so I apologize.

Here is the gallery such as it is. It's mostly Bonnie. Tomorrow we have the puppy visit so it may be a lean gallery day.

Trouble is getting along with EVERYONE - humans that come to the door, new dogs etc. Dolly - well Dolly is a play monkey and really appreciates the play here. both are playing independent but are also in tuned with each other. Trouble and Dolly spend a lot of time together - daily I believe.

Sparky needs a bath. Monday he gets one. LOL he has been playing like a crazy dog. Rosie is here overnight and is playing especially with the puppies. Oh she loves the pups. Murphy is like girls week with Saffron. Sure Murphy plays with others but her and saffron have a special relationship. Penny rules the tv room and finds Nathan's shoulders the best. She appreciates the older gals. Her parents will be moving to Calgary so this visit is bittersweet. Brewer arrived tonight and his daddy is off to Vegas for the 1st time. LUCKY HIM!

Dogs are having a blast. I have to say I am too watching them. 

Dawgs Just Want to Have Fun

Sparky was running like crazy today. The weather was crisp but not too cold.

Here is today's gallery. 

Trouble and Dolly arrived and oh boy are they having the time of their life. I think they missed visiting here. They both made sure they greeted each dog and in usual Trouble and Dolly style they engaged in play with everyone. I got slathered with kisses and excitement from both and it still continues. How nice for me is that?

Kai did class last night. Check out Saffron's blog to see how she did. Willow is still caught between am I one of the Leti crew or am I one of the big guys. She seems to want it both. It will be fun for her to have Bonnie visit tomorrow. 

Such a fun day and soon Penny will arrive and we will have tv time, snuggles and relaxing. After the play today, they need it! 

Play and Hang Out

Tenshi has such a spectacular personality. I love Saffron's pups. They are small but mighty. Their personality is outstanding. From puppies to big dogs Tenshi just plays and plays and plays. She dumbs down her play for the little ones and plays like the big guys when playing with them.

Here is today's gallery.

From snow angels, placing their heads into the snow and running, the dawgs all had fun. 

Tonight we head to class with Kai. 

So short blogs. Teddy, Farley and Clarity depart tomorrow. Tomorrow Trouble and Dolly arrives. Been a long time since I saw them. Dolly used to come all the time but now that she has Trouble... my loss but so glad we get to see them starting tomorrow. 

What Fun

Thunder was here and truly had a blast. It was fun for the pups and the adults to have his enthusiasm. Kai was ever so pleased! Kai has become a tad boisterous and has to be reminded that the Leti pups are younger so having someone that can keep up with her was welcomed. 

Here is the gallery.

They say you can now comment so comment away and let me know if it is fixed. It did take a long time - sorry. It was out of my control. 

We are off to the movies to see Star Wars tonight. It has been a very long time since I got out so it is welcomed. Shlomo departed today. He will be missed. Stormy and Raven is going stir crazy being in heat. Raven wants to cuddle deep in the bed and Stormy is still the crazy gal she is but can't understand why she can't be with the rest of the crew. It is going to be a long 3 weeks.

Elvis' mom sent some tendons over for everyone when he arrived and the dogs think this is amazing. Elvis - you share - why thank you! Clarity even wanted 2. heh 

Sparky doesn't like all the puppies but he really likes Kai. Funny how some say - you are okay - you are an irritant. No, I don't have a milk bar.

Tomorrow night Kai goes to class. We will fill you in on that blog tomorrow.

Dogs are welcoming the weather reprieve but they say the cold is coming back from Colorado. Well you can keep it!!

Just Cloudy

It was snowing lightly earlier but not much since the morning.

Here is today's gallery.

Thunder is here for an overnight. Unfortunately the photos were clicked before he arrived. I have to wash another dog tonight so blogs will be short. I will try to get Thunder on camera for tomorrow's gallery. He is having a blast! Adele was excited to see him and so was Willow. 

Raven is now in heat. What craziness so instead of my recliner or couch being back here, the room is open so we can keep adding girls in heat. hahahaha

Farley decided to do the Risa shimmie in the snow and Clarity pounced on him jumping up and landing on him right while he was in the midst of bliss. Oh he was upset and i swear she thought it was grand fun. 

That's the kind of days we have - laughing at such antics.

Cold But Better

It was cold but not painfully cold today. Here is today's gallery.

The dogs played their hearts out. We played outside with the dogs and the Leti pups along with Willow. You can see what they did on their respective blogs. 

It's been snowing all day. The comments are still getting worked on. We are adjusting to Stormy being in heat till February - wow. 

Wednesday Nathan and I go to a movie and Thursday Kai heads to class. Shlomo departs on Wednesday. We will miss his fun. Elvis is having the time of his life. Teddy is trotting and running and having a grand time. He LOVES the recliner and he claims it as his own. LOL Everyone loves that recliner. Sparky, if I blink I think it's Kat. 

We played running games, retrieval and Dennis played hide and seek games. The dogs are tired. Life is good! Can I take a nap? LOL

No Gallery Day

I apologized. I had a lot of grooming to do, a puppy that departed, 2 dogs that departed that needed baths and 1 that arrived. We are also changing over the Leti pen and getting Willow used to being out with the big guys so... tomorrow I promise to do better.

It is still very cold out. The dogs are having fun. Dennis played fetch and retreive with them. He played hide the treat with Teddy and Risa. So everyone is having indoor fun. We do go outdoors but only for short time frames. Here's to warmer weather.

PS: Saffron will be out of heat tomorrow. Stormy is having a heat - starting today. My luck keeps rolling in.

Cold Again

Yes, it is that cold again. Everyone finally got combed today. I did a little here and there. Those that are/were departing got the full spa. This gallery was taken early so I am not sure if you see anyone that is brushed. Archie departed and I should have taken a photo of him after his bath as he looked great. 

Here is the gallery.

Everyone needed baths of sorts as we had mud when we had the meltdown. Now we are back to the deep freeze. 

The blogs are still having an issue across the service. I can comment no one else can so you can send me your comments and I will post to darlah@potechin.com They tell me they are still working on it. 

Archie, Zoe, Noah, Skylar and Reggie departed today plus I gave baths to the 2 pups. So blogs are late. Tomorrow Murphy and Ozzie depart. Plus Cara departs tomorrow. See the Jeannie blog for more info. I was unable to do too many videos. It happens. I try. 

Dennis is busy trying to build a server that hasn't been updated for 10 years. 

Hope you are managing to stay warm.

Pouring Rain Then Freeze Then Snow

Yes some weather. It was balmy but rainy today so each time the dogs went out they got soaked and muddy and so did our floors. 

We only got a dusting but boy did the dogs appreciate it in a huge way. Me too. I have a crew to rinse and when I started rinsing I realized they were so muddy they need baths - each and every one. 

Here is a small gallery.

Got dogs to finish so short blogs today.

Hopeless

Really I comb and comb and comb and they look like the cat dragged them in and had a party. We need the rain or melt to stop so we can save my hand and arm. This is crazy - seriously. 

Here is the gallery.

We are now expecting this to stop tomorrow and have a dusting of snow over ice. It's a far cry from the big storm they said was coming.

Short blog today as I am grooming too much. LOL

Oops No Clicks

Everything is  mega slush pile and the dogs come back in so soaked that you have to wring them out - well not really but it certainly is a mega towel day. So, hardly any photos were taken - sorry and I mean hardly any.

Here is the mini gallery.

They go out, get soaked. I dry them and comb them and well they do it again. I was doing that so much that nothing else was getting done and then we had Bailey departing so.... 

Not to worry. Fun is had by all. Skylar arrived. Tenshi and Brewer was here for the day. 

Nathan thinks he is getting sick - oh boy...

Off to finish the blogs.

Slushy Weather

It's warm enough that the dogs are staying out longer with us and that means we can snap but we don't just go out and click photos. We play with them and we go pickup on site. They are expelling more energy now that it isn't as cold.

Here is the gallery.

The dogs were all brushed out and are now wet rags. It's that wet snow. I comb them out again but instead of putting each under dryers I give them warm heated towels and blankets and set up 2 dryers to get them feeling toasty. Then I brush them out again. It's a crazy process but the dogs love it. Nothing like burrowing into warm blankets and towels in the tv room and taking a nap. Of course some prefer the kitchen or the hall but the absolute fave place is the tv room. It's like the kitchen table area for a family without the food. Everyone gathers and enjoys each other and has some downtime.

We have cameras in the house so one day Dennis had the display of all the cameras on the tv. Murphy (Safs sister) was watching it and was highly fascinated. Yes, some dogs do watch tv. Watch out for that Pet Channel. Some dogs will bark at it. :-) Not all but... some.

Snowing Today: Another Gallery Added

Yes, it snowed. It warmed up. We got an early play session in a bit after 715am.

Here is the gallery.

Doing to blogs early so I do not have a very long day. Hope you don't mind. This way I can head out with the dogs and play with them vs. clicking and I do so enjoy that.

Kat is in crazy mode. Saffron is in the prime of her heat. 6 more days and counting!

Risa LOVED shimmying in the snow and truly enjoying the experience. Good for you, Risa. 

All the dogs loved the warmer weather. Me too. Hope the deep freeze is gone for good but rain... not looking forward to THAT!

Hope you are also enjoying the weather. It's time.

Here's the last added video for today.

Still Cold

Many left, still some remain but I think this crew has had it with this cold weather. They are playing indoors more and more and saying are you kidding - you want me to go out in that?

Here is the small gallery.

I only got a few photos. Sorry. They say rain come Thursday but not enough to make a dent. That means ice - joy - can't win.

Dogs are still enjoying and I am going to watch Voice UK. It's the 1st time in a long time I get to watch tv.  Have things to do but I said - I must. Miss the time with the hubby and the adult dogs. Time in bed not enough lol
