Bear With Us

No updates today in any of the blogs except in Leti and Panda's blog. I need recovery. After 1 night of not much sleep then the 2nd of no sleep and then 2 hours sleep, I am still trashed. So please understand that I need to concentrate on the pups while Nathan concentrates on the dogs. He is also tired so he is not taking photos but they are having fun and enjoying. 

Dennis is sleeping so he can do night duty. He went to sleep at 1 in hopes that he will be up at 10 when I crawl into bed.

Stay tuned to the regular updates tomorrow. 

Before Grooming Mess

Nathan is getting into a habit of clicking before I brushout. I have to laugh. It's okay. You get to see them brushed, unbrushed - it's life.

It's warmer today but still chilled to the bone feeling. Not many photos but here is what we have.

Cold Day

It was a cold day but not too cold to remember to come in and get some loving and now we have 3 extra people to do that with. The dogs are loving it but are adjusting to the in and out. Us too. The dogs want to sound the alert each time they come in or go out. Huh. In I get but out?

Here is today's gallery. This includes the pups too.

The dogs really relish having the grandkids living here. 

Messy Chocolate

Nathan took some photos today before I got grooming. That's okay. You get to see them natural before the brushout. heh This was Truffie after he did the back shimmy.

It was too cold today for the dogs. We had them out a ton of times but only for a small span of time. 

They said it was going to snow but where is it?

The gallery will be in Adele's blog tonight.

What a Day For Sure

Tiny was here and just had a groom. He's now home. Dolly and Tiny played and played and played. then they played with everyone else. The house is almost empty now . I had a crazy busy day grooming. 

Getting quiet for the Panda pup debut.

Gallery is in Roxie's blog.

But It's Icy and Mucky

Very little to report or have in the gallery as it has been slushy then icy and well not so much fun. Dogs still indulged us but really they like it inside.

We are adjusting to new people, grandkids, daughter, boyfriend etc. Think we need a tv - actually I know we do or adjust our idea of what to watch. Am enjoying it but not getting much done and need to and well it's not quiet. hahaha

We will have a gallery. You will be able to find it in Adele's blog today. Be sure to check out Alvin's photo in Roxie's blog. He departs tonight. 

In Ok Out Ok

Yes, out and in all day long, every day but when it rains - nah. When it snows - yeah. 

As you can see the sisters are back in play mode. Murphy is doing well and well Saffron is so pleased. Check out the gallery in Roxie's blog. These are all Nathan's catches today.

Really?

They say rain and all this white stuff will go? What will we do? I am rather getting used to it and besides it's fun playing referee in all this white stuff. Time to get more or wash it away.

Today's gallery is in Adele's blog. Panda's blog will be updated tonight.

In and Out

We kept coming in and out so much it should have been a revolving door. It must have been the fun we were having. We had a total chase fest and then a hang out session and then run like hey. You get the point. Check out the gallery in the Roxie blog.

Murphy is back to her normal crazy self. That makes me smile. 

Crazy Human

She sees this white stuff - she as in that human mom and she gets the camera out, her long coat to almost the ground and she gets so excited. We did too till the wind started whipping that snow in our face and then some of us with common sense decided inside was nicer. Notice Tosca was one of them.

Still we go in and out all day and well that is a whole lot of conditioning. 

The daughter and grand daughters have moved in. Nathan had his first drive the daughter to the Go and drive the grand daughters to school stint and we are hoping its shorter tomorrow. Today we had snow coming down. Each morning he will be doing this but they will be getting home with transit or their mom getting them with our car. It took 2 hours round trip for this going to be daily run. :-) 

Good news one of our grand daughters will be attending obedience class with us. This will be fun. 

Brewer got into his usual run today and each photo I clicked was a white blur. He was kicking up so much snow at me. I was a white coated mess even though I had a black coat on. Now to figure out how to be in front of him and click vs. in back. 

Everyone got combed out today but its fruitless. It only guarantees no knots but a wet mess, they are - other than Murphy who gets patted down and a low blow dry. She's the only glamour gal with this white stuff and well that's okay. After an operation, you deserve all this extra care. Let's see, I gave her a broth ice cube today and no one else had one. She hid in a crate and was delighted.

You will have to look at Adele's blog to see the gallery. I only have a gallery of everyone together and one of the Leti pups.

Brrr

Conehead is.... no more. She's not going after her stitches. We are watching her REAL close and well she hates being isolated. So, out with the crew she is. She's not allowed to be in crazy mode but she is playing. She is healing nicely. She is so loving life but that is her inner spirit.

It's rather cold. I had Reggie and Panda to wash - Logan tomorrow. The daughter was moving in and now this is her home too. The banged up Toyota is now fixed. It's been a busy day. 

It's a no gallery day other than the gallery that is in the Roxie blog. It's been too busy and I am zonked so nap time is coming for me.

Snowy Day

The wind is blowing, the snow is blowing. Spice didn't move. Usually she loves this but she stayed in position and watched. I laughed and as soon as I said 'inside' she came a running.

Almost everyone has departed except Reggie who heads home tomorrow so its a no gallery night. Actually you will see some of the adults in a gallery I am doing for the Adele blog. You see Tosca is here so its a puppy fest and Murphy is also here but she just has been spayed so she has a cone on. We did have her out to do her duty but of course she had to run. No worries - no damage and she did have fun cone and all. 

Tomorrow the daughter moves the last of her stuff in and Nathan makes a Panda appointment for an xray. It seems like days are going by way too fast. 

Lots of changes. Looking forward to going out to eat tomorrow as soon when Panda has hers its likely I will be hibernating. :-)

Wet and Mucky Day

We are exhausted from all the play and the human still has 2 dogs left to groom/bath and cut. So this blog will be short. Rocco was bathed as he will be departing tonight and so is Benji. Here is a few photos from today. I have to say there isn't a soul in the dog department that is not playing at various times of the day. It does our hearts good.

I also updated the Roxie blog as we had Alvin (still do), Mickey (just for the day and of course the twosome. It has been and continues to be a wonderful puppy fest. The adults are treating the puppies like special beings that they are. But the puppies like to get up extra early. Hoping later tomorrow.

On the 15th we will be getting Panda's xray and the duo here their shots. Our daughter is fully moving in on Monday so Monday will be a wash. We shall see how that goes. This too shall pass. hahahaha

Just Chilling

We are dealing with changes here - puppies - puppies coming - daughter and grand daughters started moving in today. It is a crazy house so here's the gallery that includes before grooming and after grooming photos. I said to Nathan now that they are all combed out you can take photos. He said I already did that so I think only a few are after my grooming job and oh Inula is Nathan's responsibility. So he has to bathe her today. 

I will tell you River is a dream to comb out and Stone wants to lay down, twist and all that fun but I persist. He just started this crazinesss. 

Nathan was out throwing a Frisbee with everyone - no photos and who gets the Frisbee? River. The duo is growing up. 

No Brush Day

Think I am playing catch up with sleep as I am still exhausted. It didn't help that I had to empty a closet for the daughter and I am not finished so tomorrow I will comb everyone out. It is rare I miss a day but today is it. One night of no sleep does you in. Here's a gallery of the motley crew.

As you can see they are having fun. I figure by tomorrow I will feel alive again. I must as I have grooming to do and so much more. The daughter starts moving in. :-)

Murphy and Jesse have now departed. Rocco and Reggie are loving being with each other. As you will see in the galleries the pups join right in. 

So Sorry

Here is a small gallery. The dogs ARE playing, They are all at this moment that I am typing hanging out cuddling with Nathan. Dennis is sleeping as he will have night duty.

When I am saying they are having fun, it's an understatement. I just haven't had the time to update you as much as I want to.

You will see more adults with the pups in their gallery. The puppies lives have changed. You will have to check out their blog to see how.

The weather is now a bit better but its still icy. So we see wild and crazy play in the house but hard to capture that. 

Jesse and Murphy depart tomorrow. Nathan goes out to eat Japanese with a friend. I hope to get takeout. But I am also out of time as Friday the daughter starts moving in and I am far from done. So bear with me. This too shall pass. Just know the dogs are groomed, loved and cuddled with beyond belief. We wouldn't have it any other way!

Who is the life of the party lately? Koko and Rocco but wait till Rocco sees Reggie tomorrow.

Dreary and Cold

Such a dreary and cold day. Not much of an update today except an angelic being gave me a hat and scarf that she did herself. Now how cool is that? Deepest appreciation for thinking about Nathan and Dennis too. 

I am reminded why I love dogs so much. If you are not up to par they will lay with you endlessly. Nathan ate a piece of salmon that was a little off and well he is paying for it. The dogs - well they wanted to just be with him as if surrounding him with love will get him better. 

I think it does. Well, it does me.

One of THOSE Days

It is an emptier house but it was one of THOSE days. What do I mean? It was COLD... brrr No pups out but the adults went in many times but they didn't last. Everyone was lifting their paws. So, we did a lot of playing inside. Here is a small gallery.

Good news. It is getting warmer tomorrow. It's getting up to a whopping -4 and Wednesday 0. We are really heating things up here. heh

We are down to the wire. We have 7 days till the daughter moves in so blogs will be short but updated. Only exception is if pups come. :-) 

Too Cold

When you take your havanese out for "bathroom break," stay out with them. If you're cold enough to go inside, it probably is too cold for your havanese to stay out much longer as well. Today is too cold to walk or have them out for an extended period.

When you bring a havanese in, wipe its paws and underside, making certain there are no ice balls clinging between the toes or on the sole of the foot. They can cause frostbite to your dog.

Just a Few Snaps

Sorry but I have been grooming all day literally and not my own dogs. I just have a few snaps. Plus we had to deal with something that happened with the son so LONG day. Here is all I have.

Really I was washed yesterday and brushed today. Got to keep that Mommy on her toes. 

The dogs were playing inside and out though today was rather brrr cold. 

Even Coco had to get in the thick of things. She so adores playing these days.

Jesse is still joining me each time I open the refrigerator. I have to laugh. 

Rocco and Koko are rather fond of each other. It's rather nice. On Wednesday Rocco will have Reggie to play with. 

Going to be an emptier house tomorrow night. 

Now I think I may have a gin and tonic and my dinner. heh I earned it!
