Full House Fun

Last thing Zoey's mom said to us is I only trust you with my baby. I wonder what she is going to think after seeing this photo. This happened about 20 minutes after she arrived. What you can't see is the grass was cut so her feet was green. Nathan's face says it all. Guess who was on cleanup? But boy oh boy they had fun! PS: This was not due to the pool but the wet grass.

Here is today's gallery.

We have a full house today that empties out tomorrow but oh boy is this a fun crew!

I am still sick, if you can believe. 

We have 2 Zoe's here. Benji dropped in for the day. Chester and Zoey are enjoying each other's company. Cinnamon says - ahhhh that's ok!

I am trying to get well. 

It's been a day.... a fun day for all the dogs!

Heated Up Day

When I groom a dog we usually have a fun time in-between with them and this was Winston's time. I took photos and Nathan played his heart out. This is so normal around this place. Got to have fun you know. The dogs aren't the only ones to have that!

Here is today's gallery.

Plus see that red thing waiting to be assembled? Sherry got Nathan a foot rest for the Adirondack chair. He is so jazzed and it was so unexpected. Thank you truly!!

We have a fun crew here. Molly, Roxy and Poppy depart today. They have had such an amazing amount of fun between puppy playing and getting muddy and just having fun. It does my heart good to see them happy.

Chester is in love with Cinnamon and when I say in love, I mean in love. If she is in the other room he is crying for her. Oh my. hahahahaha

We didn't have rain. The son cut the grass. I am still on meds. I am hoping tomorrow is the day of feeling great. 

Heading back outside to hang out with the dogs and Nathan. I am trying to soak this crud out of me. The son reminds me - sun bring sun cancer. Thanks for that!

Before the Downpour

One would think this was spring vs. summer. We have an abundance of rain and an abundance of cleanup when we do but we laugh and enjoy the outdoors as much as we can. 

See the gallery.

Today the rain came and came and now it is steamy uncomfortable out there as it all dries out. We had thunder and lightening and no one reacted including pups. 

We are heading back out now that we have a reprieve to enjoy ourselves. 

Everyone is brushed out, had their treats and now it is time to play!!

Sorry No Photos

In case you haven't noticed it is downright hot out there - baking weather. Not the hang out and have fun type weather so we are playing mostly inside. I didn't click too much of the adults. I was feeling like I was getting better then we did the pups and I took a video and did laundry and did the pool and well then I feel like &^%$ so medicated I am so I can be all I can be for the dogs.

They are playing and having fun. I am just bad as I didn't click photos. My apologies. Tomorrow is a new day as they say. But know they are having fun.

You may see some in the Roxie pups gallery as they were greeting them. Ozzie was also in playing with them so you will see him in the video. I kept trying to get him to jump on the couch but he was more than fine with them.

Ellie departed. Ty went home. 

Can the sun go down so we can play outdoors, please? This baking stuff is not fun. Now we do take the dogs out frequently but short spurts in heat like this. Cold fresh water everywhere even outdoors always. 

TV time till it cools down.....

Everyone is having a lot of fun - me too despite being sick.

Two Updates Today

Birthday celebration going down below. I am just going to put a link to the gallery. 

Everyone is having a lot of fun. I think I am better but just did 2 dogs and suddenly do not feel that way. Really need to crawl on a couch.  Tomorrow is a new day.

Happy 4th

Here are some photos of the birthday boy (and his brother). Hard to believe he's already 4! 

Happy birthday to the many siblings!

I will add new photos on top so you see if any new ones show up. :-)

Casey wishes her siblings a very happy 4th birthday!!!

Spice, you were a sensational Mommy!! Glad you are living the life! Miss you and looking forward to your visit.

Muddy But Fun

Yesterday and this morning we had rain and boy did the dogs have fun. 

I am still sick so blogs will be short. Dennis is now sick. Nathan says he has a sore throat but Dennis and I are full tilt - joy not.

Here is a gallery.

Roxy, Poppy, Ellie and Molly are having a fantastic time. None are our breeding but they found our fun place of doggie heaven and they are doing really well. It doesn't matter how hesitant a dog is on drop off we always manage to get them to cultivate their coping skills and have fun and that they did. 

I would have to say they are having a muddy good time!! Sorry there are not more photos but hoping I am up for more clicking tomorrow. All these photos was Nathan and Dennis' clicks.

Water Therapy and More

Both Colby and Rosie had operations (different types) so we took them in the pool to get some mobility and strength into the area. They both did really well. They need to come more often.

Here is a gallery of Colby.

Here is a gallery of Rosie.

Neither are our breeding but they do come here to visit and we love them immensely!!

Today, I found out my mother died. Years ago she died as she had alzheimers but it still hurts. 

Between being sick and this, I may be lean on the blogs. Hope you understand.

I have to say thank you to Patt as Sadie (Thyme) cuddled with me making me feel better. It was nice to have that experience. Thank you for sharing Sadie and Marlee with us. Marlee we adore and of course Sadie is a character. Thanks again!! Timing couldn't have been better!

Too Sick

Too sick to blog - really. I am off to lay down. That sick so enjoy a photo of the Marco boy. Hopefully I will be alive tomorrow. Chills, hurting chest - all that fun stuff. 

Oh and those that asked, love having Sadie visiting and Marlee fell or jumped in the pool? Had to blow dry her. Nathan was taking a nap at the time so I was it. 

We empty out tomorrow. Going to get quiet for a day or so.

Look Who Dropped In

Sadie (Thyme) and Marlee arrived and they are both having a complete blast. Me, I am sick so I have to rest for a bit as I have a 3pm grooming and I am not sure I am up for it.

Here is the gallery.

It's as if Murphy says I know who you are but you look different.

Amy departs tomorrow - puppy visit tomorrow. I need to rest!

Yikes Mud and Rain

I am so trying. I clean feet. I brush them and still this is what they look like after going outdoors. I had plans to transplant a couple of plants but not today. I also need to start working on the middle bed but I figure after pups depart. Then I have no excuse.

Saffron is supposed to be done her heat tomorrow. I think she is done today. She is playing with a squeaky toy which tells me she is pregnant. Its what she did last time but I didn't clue into it. Tomorrow Sadie (Thyme) will be here and it will be interesting to see how Amy and her connects. Marlee gal is coming too and it will be fun to watch their interaction together. I just hope this weather clears up.

Here is today's gallery.

As its such a mucky day that it seems fruitless to just wait till tonight when they are even more messy, I decided to do the blogs early. Maybe I will get cuddle and tv time with them. I would like that. Too often Nathan gets it and I am blogging. :-(

Sun, Cloudy and Pouring Rain

Think this is the new norm in a summer day. Chester, Tenshi and Charlie went home. We had to fix our pot as it was leaking (water pot) and it takes 12 hours to cure in dryness. So today we got to put all the water plants back after putting all the bricks in the pot for shelving for the plants. Seeing we had our hose out *unkinkable version - hooray) I watered the plants and transplanted 2 plants. I needed to do another but ran out of soil. Tomorrow.... The dogs found the process fascinating and they love fresh potting soil.

Here is today's gallery. 

I did manage to brush everyone out and do mega laundry. We had a few run run run games. Then the clouds came and then the rain and we have been playing indoors. Soon it is tv time!

Hot and Muggy

The Charlie - a full of life fun oneSo hot out today but as you will see in the gallery we play indoors too. Dogs are having a lot of fun. Charlie and Chester departs tomorrow. Holly comes for the day while their humans go to Wonderland. That is, if it doesn't rain. 

Everyone is truly finely meshed. They all enjoy each other. 

Amy and Chester are tight but come Friday Saffron will be done her heat and will be able to hang out with Amy. It is time and they both will so enjoy it! Plus Sadie comes this weekend. Brie and Colby will also be dropping in - been awhile and more fun!!

Short Blog Due to Vet Day

Here is today's gallery. They played. They enjoyed and it started at 7am. Dennis said they were great while we were at the vets.

They are really enjoying each other and it is rather nice to watch. As the days go by they create all sorts of bonds. It is interesting to see who they play with from day to day.

No one got to swim but maybe tomorrow.

Sorry for the short blog. Got to do a longish Roxie boys blog.

Weather Make Up Your Mind

It was sunny. I ate. I was going to take some dogs in the pool then it clouded up and it was put the towel on cold. So, I said forget about that and got out of the suit. Then it got hot again then cloudy. So, we played but so much for the swimming we planned. Was going to get the pups back in too. This is truly crazy weather.

Here is the gallery.

You will see Nathan's creative foot stool. hahahaha

Tomorrow's blogs will be mega short other than the puppies and that will be mega late.

Sorry about that.

Amy and Chester are truly clued into being siblings and are enjoying each other. Pixie and Leo depart tonight. I need to figure out my day tomorrow and what I have to get ready. See Roxie blog to understand.

We have these plants with the seeds from hell as they stick to their coat. So, I have been combing it out. Dennis - yoo hoo - I got half gone - your turn. :-) I need my sanity.

As I type the dogs are running in the kitchen. Got to laugh at the fun!  

Coolish Day

The dogs were more comfortable outside today despite the humidity. We got to hang out, run around and enjoy. Nathan even managed to get walked on.

Here is the gallery.

This blog is short as I want to spend some time with Nathan and all the dogs. Hope you don't mind.

Cooler Day

Finally Cooled Down Gallery

Dogs are having fun. Rusty was here and Momma did a wonderful job considering he went cottaging, hahahaha. Lucky dog.

Pixie and Leo dropped in and are having a blast already. Pixie already reclaimed her spot in the tv room. 

They say rain is coming tonight so I want to get out to play with the dogs. 

Van is in shop and we had to rent a vehicle for Monday as we have the puppy vet visit then. 

I had Tracy take me to Brunos but I feel guilty saying can we go to Costco or Longos too? 

I groomed most of the day. Jumped in the pool for a few and now I am blogging!

Way Too Hot

Was way too hot so much that the dogs do not want to hang outside. Daddy watch tv - Nathan watch tv and we will hang with you please! We still take them out to do their duty and attempt to play but inside on a cool floor is what they want. Tomorrow they say cooler weather coming. Dennis ran with them indoors but nothing like outdoors.

Here is a very small video of them hanging.

After the sun goes down we will get them out for a play session. It was too hot for the puppies too so no outdoor video for them either. It happens. maybe by 8pm is will be cool enough.

Everyone is getting along really well. 

I made chicken broth ice cubes with pieces of chicken and if its still hot tomorrow the dogs will enjoy! It's a cheap treat that they enjoy when it is extra hot! 

Blew It

I had a bunch of photos and thought I had changed the stick and formatted it. So, it's a no photo day. Sorry. I was multi-tasking. You see we have these weeds that have seeds and they are getting caught in the dogs hair so I have been brushing them out and pulling weeds. It was hot. Then the daughter came over for a swim and well there you go.

So tomorrow photos - today - ooops!

Dogs are doing well. No one wanted to come into the pool. Roxie and Ella jumped in with the grand daughters. 

Still no car and looks like its the transmission - when it rains it pours. 

But we have the dogs for hugs!!

Visiting

Jesse and Murphy are visiting just overnight. He got to be exposed to the pups and so did Roxie and Poppy. We will try those that show interest.

Here is today's gallery.

We had several visitors that had to be slowly conditioned to Jesse. They are not used to a big dog like him, I imagine. So they bark at him and he turns away. They start to go - oh he is just big but harmless. I like when he comes as it helps those that are not familiar with him. 

He tends to engage without being in their face. Where Inula is a moving target who doesn't know how to contain herself. It is good for the pups and the adults. We fear what we do not know. 

The dogs played a great deal. They got these %^&%$# seeds in their hair so it seems Dennis has some weed pulling to do in the back garden. Probably me too. 

We are off to do tv time then run like crazy game outside. time to cut this short!

Oh and Saffron had her first tie. Details on her blog.
