Play and Change

Here is the gallery.

This is Pippin and Ellie full out playing. Ignore the floor. This is what comes in and falls off of them many many times a day. Dennis can't vacuum until Nathan gets up. LOL So, you now get what we go through every day, many times a day.

Ellie departed 20 minutes ago and Pippin departs tomorrow. As I have to groom between feedings of Sage's pup, I may prep Pippin tonight. He doesn't go till tomorrow night so I will bathe him and finish. He will be missed. I believe this has been the best stay yet with all his crazy play. 

Murphy has Coco leadingf him around. Such a bossy thing, Coco but Murphy doesn't mind. Cassie thinks she is in a candy store each new dog.

Everyone else is having fun. They are playing up a storm. I am getting boarders combed out but not my own. I will play catchup as I can with my own. 

Thank you to Dorothy for matzah ball soup. It is what we had after the last feeding of the pup. Eating is interesting as I do not have the time. This too shall pass.

Happy 11

Happy birthday to Nora and her siblings. Nora still gets mistaken for a puppy on our walks. This is what she does whenever we go to pat her. She flips over for maximum belly rubs!  We will spoil her today, shady is already jealous and whining, but happy for Nora we are sure!

Sunday It Is

Here is Barney all ready to go home.

Here is the gallery.

As you will see, the dogs are playing in a huge way. Harlow had leaves all through her so I spent a great deal of time getting them out. Chai was the same. Despite us having the leaves picked up - well we have more. 

I am living on zero lemonade. Is that a bad thing? 

Dogs have been playing in and out. Me, I am so busy it is unreal. I just want 15 minutes to do absolutely nothing except eat a Dairy Queen split. Yes, I am laughing but the things you want when stressed and too busy is crazy. 

Coco and Ellie enjoy each others company. Ellie loves to sit high up on the crates. Pippin loves me the best - just saying. Yes, I am laughing as according to Nathan they all love him the best. He must be delusional. It's an age thing. hahahahaha

Sorry - my blogs are what they are due to busy-ness. Apologies!

It is Fun Times

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are having a total blast today. Not sure why so much play but it has been non stop. Today is a real dawg day!

We have dogs coming and going. I am exhausted. I am sending Nathan to the mall for 

Yes, It is Raining

Here is the gallery.

I can go to the mailbox in a t-shirt but it is raining. Some like to go out. Some do not buy we do manage to get the ones that hate the rain out under the gazebos. It stays dry there as the rain is not side ways. Socks doesn't mind the rain. Lachlan usually doesn't mind either but when he headed to the muddy area, I stopped him. He looked mighty confused but no mud on him.

We usually do not have mud in our yard. I know this will pass. It's not overly muddy but if the dogs chase each other - well muck. No one has reached that point yet. Hooray!

Would we rather have snow? You tell me.

2 Posts Today: Happy 1st

Hi Darlah and Nathan
Our baby is 1 today .
She has brought us so much joy 

Hope all is well, have a lovely day !

Karen and Brian and Nicky

Just a Small Update

Here is a tiny gallery. Hopefully I will add to it after Dennis takes photos. These are from Nathan.

We have a dental clinic coming up on November 24th. If interested, please send mail to nathan

Dogs are having fun. I did groom where I could yesterday. 

Dennis did play games and he will this afternoon. 

I will continue to groom inbetween feedings. It is non stop. 

We couldn't go into Ottawa for a funeral so we attempted to watch a poor quality feed online. What a year this has been for deaths for those we care for. 

I am tired today as I had a dog that wanted me up to play last night. I gave up at 6am. I have another feeding in 30 min so I am going to sit in the recliner with the moms and let the alarm wake me up. How is that?

Not a Bad Day

Here is the gallery.

Everyone is messy. When Dennis gets up and can watch the puppies, I will get to combing everyone out. I need to catch a breath. LOL

Weather is not bad. I went out with a long sleeve shirt and felt comfortable.

Nathan is now at Shoppers getting a bottle warmer. Oh boy but this in the pan water warming up is hard as its not hot enough or too hot. How did I ever do it before?

Dogs are enjoying the weather. The leaves need to be picked up again or maybe not. Who has time and maybe this amount will be good for the garden beds. It's just the leaves on the dog's coat is interesting.

Here's to a fun day of running. Maybe Dennis will play games with them this afternoon after sleep.

Sorry Late

Here is the gallery.

Sherry asked me where the blog was. I forgot - seriously forgot. Too much on my mind.

Dogs had a blast despite my stress. I hardly ate. I fed the dogs the lamb chops that Nathan made me. They were happy. 

Dennis was in bed till 7pm but he got into bed late due to Sage's pups arriving.

Everyone is now enjoying tv time. Soon bed...

Oh the Play

Pippin and Ellie have found each other.

Here is a mini gallery.

Harlow is back hunting what she thinks is rabbits. She took a break. Every single dog is playing though Dennis had to do more leaf pickup. He thought he took more photos than he did. He also took a nap with some of the dogs after that. It was a nap day - what can I say.

Yes, Marco, Murphy, Maury and Fudge are having the time of their life. Oreo and Ollie departed. Buddy departs tomorrow and so does Fudge. I hope Sage allows Fudge grooming as he so needs it.

It has been a good day and dinner has just finished. It is amazing how quickly it gets dark.

Feeling Cold But That Play

Here is the gallery.

The play is something else. They are so enjoying each other. Harlow and Oreo decided to nap but we will get them out playing later. Harlow usually goes on the hunt for rabbits but she went for a nap with Nathan. Dogs who want to go napping with Nathan - it is their choice. He never knows who decides till the day.

Last night, a dog chewed a comforter and all the stuffings came out. All you can do is laugh. No. they didn't eat the stuffing. They just made it a huge job to clean it up. I guess it is going in the trash. 

Let's see what the afternoon play brings. No photos - just we are going to play with the dogs and maybe if I move around a lot - I will f

Getting the Play On

Here is the gallery.

It gets so dark so early that I feel as if we need them to play and play as early as they can. It is crazy.

There is a ton of play going on. As I am typing, Harlow and Buddy are barking for their supper. I have to laugh as they love it so. 

Inside, outside play is amazing fun for us and the dogs. It is 452pm and almost dark - argh.

Nathan is home - well he is actually food shopping. I actually sat down and watched a tv show. That was not possible this week. I had Sage and Nami laying all over me. It was so nice to have that time with the dogs. 

Dennis was able to just be with Nami and the pups so they gained, gained, gained! 

For now, Nathan gets all males at bedtime and I get girls due to heat. I look forward to the end of the heats - 1 more week.

Home Coming

Here is the gallery.

Pippin says it is mighty cold outdoors. The dogs are in and out. I am grooming and combing here and there. I think more leaves have fallen down now that we had leaf pickup. Life  is just like that.

Thank you to Dorothy for a bagel and soup. It was wonderful for you to do!

When Nathan arrives home, he will have warm soup. Dennis will head to bed and stay there till bedtime and be with the pups and crawl into bed around 7amish. We will be back on schedule. Nathan just doesn't realize he has evening dog feeding to do. 

Ms. Chloe is departing. I just combed her and Ollie will be leaving tonight and I just combed him. 

It has been a very long week but the dawgs always had fun. If I can accomplish this - I feel great and I did manage that - well Dennis and I.

It's a Day

Here is the gallery.

Sun keeps trying to stay out. Soon it will be dark. I hate dark days. 

Dennis is sleeping so I am juggling. He will get up around 5 so we can feed before Tuppy departs.

Nathan comes home tomorrow night. I look forward to sitting on a chair and not moving or blogging for 10 minutes after Nathan comes home. It has been exceedingly busy. Nathan will tell me he is tired. LOL

Dogs have played and appreciate the wind out there.

I am hoping Sage holds off for a few days. I honestly need it and a daytime birth please.

Dennis had a massive asthma attack last night so neither of us slept much. 

It's a day and still the dogs are having so much fun!

Ice Today

Here is the gallery.

Buddy is chilling as if to say - really flying ice from the sky - really and you want me to go out in that?

Yes, we had ice come down - 1st ice storm/sleet storm? Dogs were not impressed. 

I had grooming this morning. As Dennis didn't get into bed till 2ish, he just got up at 645pm. Not a lot of sleep but we are doing the best we can. 

I managed to groom and play and clean and all the crazy stuff that goes into a day when it is just you. I laugh as this is simply crazy.

Tuppy is here for an overnight and won't stop playing. Ellie was  also here and I bet she is tired tonight as she played and played and played. Mr. Ollie was here for the day and he was getting a mess before his momma came. As I said, juggle, juggle. 

Ms. Chloe is still after the rabbits with her partner in crime, Harlow. Where will the rabbits go with this cold settling in? 

Sage had a bath and we have belly shots and her toy coddling up on her blog. 

It is 720pm and we are about to feed the dogs. Yep - can you believe that?

Nathan is in Aspen with his friends and it seems he has altitude sickness. 

Dennis made hot dogs with dough. They were absolutely HORRID. He tried something new and it didn't work out. No dinner tonight. LOL

Leaves Almost Gone

Here is the gallery.

Okay - we had our irrigation guys do the leaves today. Dennis spent a lot of time figuring out what they were doing. He was not happy and said to them, you best not be scamming us. Dennis usually doesn't interact but as he usually does this job, he knows how many bags and how long it takes. We await the bill. They refuse to use our lawn bags saying theirs is larger and therefore more money and on and on. 

The dogs went out after and was miffed that the leave piles were gone. They were getting used to playing a game in them. Well, this will make less leaves being dragged into the house. That makes Dennis happy.

It looks cold and gloomy out there.

Marco has arrived and was jumping through the garden. What a funny guy. He is having fun. Buddy seems to like his frolicking as he tried to join in.

Other than being overly tired - it's a good day for us and the dogs. 

Wet Outside

Here is the gallery.

It is wet outdoors. Harlow and a few others went outside - did their business and back inside. Some just hate wet feet and who can blame them?  We have cleaned the floors a few times. I almost give up. 

Supposedly leaf guys are coming tomorrow.

I have to say the juggling is awful. We will get through but never again - heats, boarders, grooming and Nathan gone. I have lost 3lbs. Who has time to eat and how can you just chill?

Dennis is in bed. As I had 2 groomings 1st thing, he stayed up and will be in bed till dinnertime. The best time is after we feed breakfast but not today. Maybe tomorrow. 

Thank you to Sherry for bringing me my order of food. I do appreciate it. Hope I gave you enough money as I couldn't find the receipt or maybe I am blind. The mind goes quickly when you have too much to do. Do remember the compliment though. LOL Thank you!

Dogs are quiet as I type. Imagine that - how nice. 

It will be a mostly indoor day with brief times outdoors. I put a National Geographic show on and a few of the dogs was howling at the tv. It was a riot!

Wild, Fun Play

Here is the gallery.

I did manage to get the dogs combed out. I combed one, checked on pups - well actually had phone visual to check. It has been an insane day and it is not over.

None of the dogs adjusted to the time change to the point Dennis said just come down around 6am. Oh well.... no extra sleep for us. It has been an experience. Having girls in heat greeting the door has been - well not fun. I need a better solution. Having Dennis sleep while I am answering the door and expect to hear anyone speak - well how foolish of me. 

Still, we managed to go out and enjoy - the dawgs and I many times a day. They wanted to bark at the neighbour raking leaves. It didn't help that he was teasing the dogs - yes teasing. Some people are clueless. I had to say - can you stop? He was making silly noises hanging over the fence with his dog. I mean really...

I did get laundry done. It's 330 and I am massively tired.

Dennis is going to do a hide and seek game with them after dinner while I do the dishes. Not eating but one meal. No time to cook and just too tired. Dogs are getting their meals. That is what counts. Here's to a day and a half done. 

Oh and pups are eating every hour and a half. I do help them with that. Nami is an incredible mom. Sage is too so I am lucky but next year I will get a cabin somewhere and leave Nathan home. He needs to experience this. LOL

Busy But Fun House for Dogs

Here is the gallery.

Let's see - here is our day - in and out and play and play. This is Maury's first overnight. He is playing up a storm. He particularly loves Jax.

Ms Ellie is going home in a half hours and Kallie is coming for grooming and an overnight. 

Harlow is back looking for the rabbits and so are others now too. 

Someone, who will remain nameless and putting their paws and face in the water bowls so we need towels to dry it up and freshen up the bowls frequently.

Ms. Cassie is departing today. She will so enjoy seeing her parents. She had a really fun time.

The dogs are going out now for retrieval game. There are so much leaves on the ground. The dogs love running through the leaves. 

I could go on but I won't as I really have stuff to do. 

I also had to call Bell to add on roaming to Nathan's phone. Oh boy... as if I had the time for that!
