Puppy Heaven

Got some pups visiting and the adults and pups are having a total fun fest! See the gallery. Everyone is doing well. Sorry for a short blog but we will do bewtter when we totally play recovery.

Oh my Gad

Inula is in heat. For 3 weeks Inula has to be with just the gals. Fun. Dogs had a blast inside and out. We now have Havoc and Tobias visiting. It's busy but fun. Cooper has departed but had fun before he left.

Dinner is almost done but going to hate cleanup. haha

Here's the gallery.

Really I can't imagine having pups today. Crossing fingers.

Barney is Here

Check out Leti's blog. Barney came for a visit and oh my is he fun!

Getting Warm

Here's a short gallery. We have been out a number of times. Everyone has been combed out. Mickey bathed and trimmed. Mickey departs - sigh. He will be missed. Tonight a Leti pup comes to visit and oh boy will that do Leti's heart good. 

Nathan was out running errands and took Ella up to see Jazzy. I heard Ella ran Jazzy up and down the aisles. I am sorry I missed it.

I am tired - what's new. We have a family gathering the next 2 nights too. 

Dogs are really having a blast but it is time to take the pool cover off. Now to convince Nathan that we can do it now and not turn on the heat. hahahahaha

He says with pups who will be able to swim? Maybe I will visit Christine. hahahaha

Mail Issues

Folks, some of you are not aware but we had our domain expire and Dennis (our son) forgot to renew it. So, our mails were bouncing. If you did not get a response from us, resend the mail PLEASE. It is working now.

I am posting this as someone just sent me mail saying she hadn't heard from us. arrgh

Playtime Fun

I finally got everyone brushed and combed. It took me a bit as I did it between other things. So, some of these photos is before and some after. 

Dogs are enjoying the cooler but dryer weather. They are still doing a deck behind us so we deal with dust and noise but the dogs have adjusted. 

If I had to put a slogan on today, I would have to say, Dawgs Just Want to Have Fun!

Fun Indoors

Indoors can be fun too. Check out this gallery. As you will see Cooper, Pepper, Reggie and Scruffy was having a blast. Sometimes Stone. 

They played their hearts out but the blog is short as I am still needing to play recovery. I need to eat and sleep. Don't always have time for those. 

Our oldest daughter slept with the dogs while we were whelping. It was nice to have the help. Otherwise they would be downstairs with Dennis watching tv even though it was 3am or he would have crawled into bed with them. Dennis is on night duty tonight. Nathan and I play catchup with the sleep and the dog snuggles.

Parler en Français

Oh Coops Nathan has to start talking to you in French. Will you listen?

Here's today's gallery.

Someone is putting in a deck behind us so all we hear is tool noise. Was hoping to be out there with Jeannie for a bit. Maybe after Logan and Panda goes home the trades people will quit. Wait till Lynda sees Panda with Trouble. 

Hmm What's This

Dennis has food and he is a mighty popular guy. It's a mighty warm day. We put a water bowl outside while Dennis hangs out and enjoys. Nathan is taking a nap and I am blogging. Here are a few photos I took. Got a short blog to do as we have so much to do.

I started brushing out and the rest will be done tonight after my return and of course after posting to the blogs.

Now off to pack the car for the vets.

Yeah Warmth

Could they be too hot? I have to laugh. Some played but in the shade. It was as if they have to adjust to this warmth. Me too but I love it! Here's today's gallery. Can you believe according to the Weather app on my ipad its warmer in Huntsville.

Tonight it gets quiet around here. Bella and Bailey have departed and tonight the rest. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

If you look at Roxie on the lounge chair she is in heaven just chillin'. I did place water with ice cubes outside several times a day and they drank it dry in minutes especially after play.

Warm weather will stay but not warm enough to put plants out. Oh well. 

PS: Here's a very short video of Risa jumping for her food. Talked to my usual vet and she said she had to have eaten something to throw off the values. She said if she had cancer she would not have bounced back like she did. Here's hoping. 

Little by Little

This is what happens when you play day in and day out with the Inula - your head hair gets chopped up and disappears. There goes her show career. Hair does grow but for hers to grow she has to stop playing with Inula. Inula does this to no one else except Ella. 

I just NOW finished doing dogs. I had a really, really full day of haircuts, baths etc. I also brushed the rest. I started at 7. Had moments of talking at the door but it was a 12 plus hour day. 

Here is today's gallery.

I had the pleasure of having a number of dogs that I adore that came for the day. One of them was Clarity (huge pleasure) and now that I am resting, I am using a present she gave me - well Clarity's mom gave it to me. What is it? Insta Shiatsu and oh my does it feel good. What a wonderful present. Very unexpected and very appreciated!

Tomorrow is Dennis' birthday and I told him he can do whatever he wants to and I will be doing all the jobs he normally does. I guess tomorrow is busy for me too. They say it will be warm. Hoping to snap some photos and enjoy life and maybe use my Insta Shiatsu.

Monday - xrays...

Warm Day

We feel so excited about the weather this weekend. Last night we got some of our furniture out and this morning I got some of the cushions out. Those that could I swear levitated to the top of the cushions. Everyone human and canine alike is loving this weather.

I even sat outside with my ipad for a bit and clicked photos, played bejeweled and loved up the pups. Nathan got to lay out longer. 

Check out some of the photos I clicked. 

But I also groomed, cleaned and well that's why the blog is so late. Tomorrow I have a full day of grooming so I am hoping I find the time to also enjoy the weather. We shall see.

We also took dogs out for a walk. Trouble is not impressed with the lead. We will try again tomorrow. 

Fun Sun Day

Here is today's gallery.

Dogs loved the sun today and so did Nathan. Does this mean warm weather is here to stay? We are hoping.

Sunday is Dennis birthday. Tomorrow his sister is taking him out to the aquarium. Nathan and I will hold down the fort and on Sunday we get his fave meal brought in from Lonestar. I am thinking about dehydrating beef so he can share with the dogs on his birthday. hehe Actually he would enjoy doing that.

Things are starting to get green. We are muttering maybe outdoor furniture should make its way outdoors.

The dogs WILL love that as they adore lounging like we do. 

Mr. Coops departed. Thank you Anne and Russell for the bagels. yum!

I am sure the rabbit is now saying ah no one watching me anymore. It was funny to see them both watching each other. Inula seems to not care any longer. For that I am glad.

Will be updating Panda's blog tonight as we have photos to share. Today it will be George as he just departed then Hagia and then Havoc.

We are also busy - well I am trying to figure out my room for the moms to be. There;s no room. hahahaha But we will make it work and I will have less room - not them.

Cheeky Dogs

Can you see Stone sticking his tongue out at Cooper. What a bold one that youngin' is. See the gallery today.

Dogs had a blast as weather was better. 

It was a Cooper enjoying Stone day. 

Reggie departed. Tiny was playing his heart out and will soon depart. 

The dogs are simply having a ball and maybe its simply just celebrating the lack of rain. I am not sure but I will take it. I love them having fun!

Inbetween Rain

Cooper is funny. I am not sure if he does this at home but he watches Nathan doing his cleanup outside as if he is observing a good movie. I have to laugh. 

We had a lot of off and on rain today. It was a tad frustrating for the dogs and humans but Dennis played the chase game with them upstairs and we had stolen moments outside when the sun tried to shine. Now, it's shining. Of course. Here's the gallery.

I bathed Truffie, the pups, a couple for someone else and Panda. I had Logan on my list but he hid in the crate as if to say, really? Logan has not liked baths since he had a bad experience with a groomer (not me) so we are working on making it more enjoyable. He's not convinced we arrived at that point yet so tomorrow we will try again. You have to make the bath experience fun even if they think it isn't. The operative word is try.

We have a very busy day tomorrow. We have Paula and Tracy's pup coming in. George and Ringo are going home. Reggie departs and so many other things. 

Snow Then Rain Then Mud

DJ was visiting. He experienced the snow, the bath, oh the rain and the mud and the bath. ROFL Gee, all in one day. I had to laugh. I was so busy washing and cleaning that only Dennis clicked. Here is the gallery.

Murphy also had a blast before she departed. 

Due to this rain, we have mud. Floors with pawprints washed up so many times and well pups with black legs and undersides too.

Tomorrow we are going to dehydrate beef for the dogs. Hoping for dryer times. 

PS: We have now talked Inula out of chasing the rabbit. We just had to make us more interesting. 

Such Fun Play

Here's today's gallery.

It's bordering brrr cold. Will we get snow. Will we get rain? Will we get both? I figure rain because I washed most of the dogs. It's that thing called Murphy's law. Makes you laugh. 

Dogs are having a great time. Though I swore River kept going to the door this weekend looking as everyone came then walking away as if to say - oh not you. I wonder who she thought was coming? Could it be Cooper? hahahaha

Rabbit is still in the yard. I do not know where her babies are. Don't want to know and do want to know. Does that make sense? Inula likes to chase the hey out of her so we have been curbing that prey drive. Oh she wouldn't hurt the rabbit but she sure likes chasing it. 

Hope everyone is staying warm. It's a cold one out there!

Interesting Day

Here is today's gallery. The rabbit seems to be gone. Did she move her kits or ?? We do not know. But at least we have our yard back. Still nags at me. I guess babies are babies to me. 

Piper went home after really fitting in. Everyone got brushed. Moms also got their baths. 

Dogs spent a lot of time outdoors. I had a lot of grooming. Benji, Holly are just a couple I did today. It's been a long day. We will now go watch tv together as a family - ours and visitors, draped in dogs - a slice of heaven. 

Rabbit in the House

Stone had a bath today and a practice session. Even though classes are over we still keep them learning. Spice also had a bath. Tomorrow I will probably do someone else or two or 3. :-)

It seems we have a rabbit outside who just had babies. They are slimy so when I say just, I mean just born.

Check out the gallery to see our dogs and Momma Rabbit.

Inula dug the babies up and at first we thought they were mice but no, they are rabbits.

It's always an interesting day around here. Got to laugh.

Everyone is having a blast. It's warmer. It's not muddy so we celebrate.

Very Messy Times

Shannon sent this photo and I had to share. They have such a ruff life! I had to laugh!

It's a mighty messy day. I mean when you look at the gallery you will say doesn't she ever groom? 

They have been wet, muddy and everything inbetween and so have the floors. Even Cooper ran through the center of the pool in enthusiasm. Did I catch it? Nah. Also had Dallas do the same after her bath so she had 2 of them. Got to laugh. 

They did play in the house as if it was outside. 

Dolly also came for the day and well she didn't get dirty. Go figure!

Can you snow or stop raining please?

Oh well, Dallas is home and clean.
