Long Day Sorry

Jimmy was here and he played and played and especially with his mom. I was grooming till now. So, I didn't get any quality time with him. So sad about that. Next time. 

Here is the gallery.

Looks like fun was had for all. I am glad. That's what it is about. Apologies for shortness but can't work till bedtime. I need a chill session before I crawl into bed. LOL

If you look in the gallery, you will see a ton of play. I wish Dennis would stop using sport mode in the house as photos come out blurry. My pet peeve as I usually have to sharpen them but don't have the time. As it is, I only got to take 2 videos of the pups today. It is what it is. Tomorrow will be busy too. 

Wet and Mucky Today

Here is the gallery.

It was a wet and mucky day out. I combed and combed as they had leaves, twigs and well mud. I almost didn't want them to go out. LOL But out they went and comb I did. 

The dogs had fun despite the yuckiness. I should have taken a photo of Lachlan before I combed him out twice but I was too busy combing. He looked - well interesting. But he's a good boy - great natured like his mom and just let me comb.

I am not sure what the weather is tomorrow but I have lots of groomings to do so it may get interesting. We shall see. Tomorrow is another day!

Dental Clinic and Today

We have a dental clinic on the 12th

We still have openings so if interested, please send mail to Nathan for details. nathan@potechin.com Send mail to confirm as well.

I did this long blog and it never saved. Now to try to duplicate it - fat chance.

Sorry about that. Dogs had a great day. It was warmer - less windy and the dogs were in their element. As you can see no feet on the ground for some. Can you imagine doing that? They are so filled with glee.

Dennis is now handing out dishes and no one cared that Dennis was late as Harlow was not here to remind them. LOL She sings for her meals.

Dennis played a game of hide and seek and some seem to not get it but when he started to hand out treats to those that found him, they caught on fast. Funny about that. He is always trying to get their minds working and bodies moving. They sleep well at night.

I still have an issue with my back and knee and was thinking if there is only snow outside, I could go out in shorts and lay in the snow. The things my mind thinks of. A good friend of mine has 11 inches in Utah. Go figure. Maybe I will give her ideas on how to make the most of that snow.

Tonight the dogs are in store for a run session. It is amazing to watch. I so wish Dennis didn't mind his photo taken but he does. I guess I have to just respect it. 

Playing In and Out Of Course

Here is the gallery.

I am doing a short blog tonight. I pulled my back a couple of days ago (*never had a back issue) and due to grooming and a dog that didn't like his bum touched or his nails done - well my back is worse. Go figure.

Dogs are having fun. They are really enjoying themselves.

No high speed as they didn't have a terminal installed. Stay tuned. They will let me know by Tuesday what the next step is. 

Dennis played a hide and seek game with them today. It was a riot. They really get excited and it is great to work their minds.

Wet Wet

Here is the gallery.

It has been mighty windy here. It is also wet and well brr damp cold. The weather has changed today to colder.

The dogs had a lot of fun despite the weather. I managed to get them all brushed and they do not look like I even picked up a comb. That's okay. They are enjoying.

Thank you to Trish for cherry cordials. My fave but I like anything dark from that chocolatier. You should buy some for yourself. Then again weight will come and hahahaha

I hope everyone's holiday coming up is a good one. We spend it with the dogs chatting to you about your fun and that makes us enjoy. I hope you managed to get your shopping done.

Nathan just arrived home from dropping off Katie. Logan and Panda will soon depart. 

Tomorrow Bell puts in high speed fibe tomorrow. They just finished installing the lines at the street and tomorrow they will hook it up. Let's hope it works. We will cancel Teksavvy and this will be cheaper and faster. Our present - reduce costs. LOL Maybe gain speed. We shall see.

I have a crazy day of grooming tomorrow - like crazy but that's okay. 

Cold will set in and well Dennis can go out and I can hibernate doing inside. Well, that's the plan. We will see how it all unfolds.

The dawgs - well they will always have fun and that's the important stuff!

Playing Like Crazy

Here is the gallery.

This is a short blog today. It is our anniversary today and get this, we are going to Fortinos, Costco and well picking up something to eat. Sounds like a fun anniversary - right. LOL I do not have any pistachios and well there are those cheese crisps from Fortinos. 

Dogs are having a blast. I believe the 4 are departing today before we depart but Dennis is here. 

The dogs will go out for a run like crazy thing later today. 

I have not eaten today waiting for dinner. LOL

Nathan is napping and so are most of the dogs. They earned it. Then they will be willing and able to play like crazy again!

Got a back ache so looked up some unkinking exercises and that is what I am going to do now. I am tired of being a

Start of December

Here is Amy and here is the gallery.

Okay - I just finished Harlow much to her irritation. She is not a fan of me fussing around her bum or face but we get past it. Now she thinks she is going home as I got her done earlier. I was supposed to have her done yesterday and I was focused on pups and totally forgot. That's a first. I mean really but now she is beautiful for her daddy.

It is Nathan and my anniversary tomorrow. Didn't get anything for each other nor did we plan anything. It will be a dawg anniversary. LOL 

Dogs love this brisk air. Dennis FINALLY got the gazebo curtains in - more laundry. But it is DONE!

Misty is now under the covers with her puppies. 

The dogs had 20 minutes straight of the running game. They are ready for eating and chilling in the tv room. I wo

Fun Rain and All

Here is the gallery.

With the rain, we had lulls between when we could go out and when we couldn't. We spent most times indoors but we did have a fun run around the house experience. It was a bloody riot. The dogs - well they loved it and that is an understatement. You have to find ways of expelling energy and sometimes you simply have to be creative.

Ms. Harlow departs tonight so soon I need to give her a full groom. 

A few dogs arrived. Two are day visitors. Thank you to one of the day visitors that comes once a week - Ellie's family for the lovely holiday basket. It has chocolate in it from Lindt and we all know how much Dennis loves chocolate. Me too as that is why I get those Purdy's cherry cordials. I must make a trip there soon. 

We were supposed to get food at Costco but Nathan and his foot was not up to it. He saw his specialist. He got an xray in case he fractured it. I don't think he has or he would have heard and he can walk on it - just not easily. But otherwise he got good news about his arthritis etc but get this - NO MORE anti-inflammatories like Aleve as it is supposedly bad for his heart. Who knew? Did you?

The 4 crew is with us an extra night. Something about windows and rain. Silly window installers. Can't they work in rain? That is why the dogs are visiting and they are having a great time. I am happy to have them the extra time!

I did brush everyone out and washed feet seeing it ius muddy out there. I can miss that part again but I doubt I will.

The dogs just finished eating and it's tv time!

Play Fun

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are really in their element today playing up a storm. Some also chose nap was a better idea. LOL They do love taking a nap with Nathan.

Weather is not great but not bad either. It could be worse. It's perfect for play, play and more play.

As I type, Dennis is heading to doing a run game. They have a blast when he does that. It is funny watching who cuts corners.

Meetings

Here is the gallery. Dennis said he will add more in a bit and I will add them to this gallery.

Dogs are enjoying this weather vs. yesterday. It's foggy, overcast but not raining. The dogs are enjoying each other. Riley has departed. Coco and Bailey will depart later. Nap time is already in progress for the dogs who choose to crawl into bed for a nap with Nathan. 

Life is good here for the dogs. They so love the relationships. No one dislikes anyone. They all just gravitate to different dogs and enjoy. It is like a party in the making daily!

Inside Play Today

Here is the gallery.

The gallery is not big and it doesn't have everyone in it as it is raining and Dennis got what he did. I think it is clear tomorrow so more photos then.

I am a bit trashed today. Had some groomings - many more tomorrow and juggling, I suppose.

Nathan has yet another hematoma from his ipad falling on his foot. He says he is in a lot of pain and can't sleep and can't do much of anything but sit and watch tv. He has an appt this Thursday with his specialist. I think I need to bubble wrap him. Now you know why I am so tired and to make matters worse he moans and groans and I had to tell him to stop as when he does, I think about my knee and I do not want to think about my knee. Maybe by summer we will all be doing marathons. Let's hope. Between Dennis and Nathan, I am carrying a huge load. At least Dennis does do everything he normally does except dishes or carrying etc. I would be royally screwed.

I have the dogs and they make me happy - my own and visitors alike.

Dogs are eating as I type. Dennis is feeding. As soon as he is done. I need to wash the dishes as Dennis can't. I hate dishes. LOL I hate laundry too. What a crab fest this is.

Still, it could be worse. 

Friday is our anniversary and I am not sure we will do anything but what we normally do. We shall see. There is always next year! Next year and the dogs and a written saga that I will eventually put in a book so after I am gone, he can remember. He can open it up on our anniversary and read. He does love to read.

Beyond it all, the dogs are having fun!

Cover Play

Here is the gallery.

The cover always adds fun to the equation. The odd dog won't go on it. It is safe. Come spring 4 guys stand on it and wash it. I know this. I trust it but I won't walk on it. Nathan and Dennis will. Why won't I? I hate the bounce and dip. I suppose some of the dogs feel the same. 

Dogs are having fun today. Pepper and Buddy arrived. Meadow and Abby departed. 

Dennis was hiding treats for a game and suddenly he couldn't find them when he went to write down where they were. Harlow was the only one there grinning ear to ear. I guess that smartie pants has a secret. It's okay. 

Run, Run Fun

Here is the gallery.

We had a busy day. I cancelled a few groomings as I had not had sleep for well over 24 hours. I did get a 2 hour nap or a bit shorter but it made my body capable of doing 2 that are going home early tomorrow.

The dogs had fun. As Dennis was sleeping, we had the dogs outside of the room where Misty was having pups. Dennis went to bed so he could do night time duty. It all worked as I went in and out and well she onlt had 2. Sage had 5 in the same time as Misty had 2. LOL

Dennis did do a massive run with them outdoors today after he woke up to get them expelling energy. They so love it and he enjoys getting them so happy running like banshees. Then they come inside and rest.

Daisy was on time for the run and good thing as she so enjoys it. It would be ashame for her to miss it.

Abby and Dash had a grand time together. Dash departed today and Abby and Meadow departs tomorrow. I may be alive tomorrow too. Not alive for a marathon but alive. 

Thank you to Dorothy we had soup today. So appreciated. We have no food in the house. I am not sure how Nathan did that but such timing. So, the soup was really welcomed!

Just Hanging

Here is the gallery.

It seems quieter today despite Mr. Dash arriving. He's napping and so are quite a few. 

Dennis and I watched Sandman in the kitchen while Nathan napped. I took turns snuggling with one and then the next one and on and on. I like one on one time too. 

Nami was the winner of the game Dennis played with them but he treats all. The winner just gets an extra treat. 

Soon I have to start grooming more. Just waiting till Nathan gets up. Then I will get to it while Dennis prepares dinner. 

Ms Harlow likes Dash. I laugh as she sometimes has this extra love for the wee ones. It makes me smile.

Really?

Here is the gallery.

Here is Misty running after Polo who by the way is having the time of his life. We have several players in the house who are playing and playing and playing. When Polo came here for teh 1st time, he played but nothing like today. 

Yes, this is Misty above TODAY. Talk about impending. I give up and I so need a nap.

Abby survived her shots and didn't miss a beat. It is interesting to watch Meadow and Abby's interaction. Abby is another who indeed has her play on. Riley, Abby and Fudge are napping along with a few more with Nathan. They need their downtime. Me, I need a couch. LOL

The dogs - ours - visitors are having the time of their life. Will they climb on the couch and nap with me? 

Kitchen and Outdoor Play

Here is the gallery.

Sherry asked me to ask what booties you are using - brand - where to get them as the last ones she tried created mats. We do not use booties. They are good to keep the salt off their feet especially in the city where its plentiful in the cold weather. 

I started cutting down Riley as I am always proactive when pups are coming and you have no clue when that may be and then I realized she doesn't depart for another week. Oh well now all I have to do is bath and shape. That is okay too. I think I need more coffee. Being on wait for an impending birth means a lack of sleep always. Everyone else sleeps but me.

Nathan is getting the Keg tonight. We have 2 gift cards that we were holding on to for quite sometime and Nathan will do pickup. What a treat. 

First he has to take Abby to the vets for her shots. Lucky him in the traffic at this time. 

We bought more masks so if in need, we do have some at the door. 

The dogs did not want to be outside too much today. It was windy cold. 

Someone asked if we let the dogs outdoors by themselves. Although our backyard is safe (we have connected yards) and we check the area daily. Yes, meet my OCD son who feels better when he walks the fence line and I am glad he does. Nathan does it too. We ALWAYS go outside with the dogs. You see, how can you tell if they have an output issue. How do you know how they are interacting with each other. How do you know if they slip and hurt themselves etc. I know a lot of people open their door and just let them go. I get it - it is easier but by monitoring the dogs, you can stay on top of things and not assume. That makes me feel better. Besides, you couldn't take photos and you miss a LOT of fun by hibernating. I know - it is winter but fresh air is a good thing.

The dogs had a run today upstairs with Dennis. It is too icy outside. They have fun either way. 

We have Fudge, Riley and Abby playing so much that they napped with Nathan out cold for a couple of hours. Dogs are always invited to nap with Nathan daily but it's very important for puppies as they don't usually pace themselves by taking naps. They are just too excited. Can you blame them. But when they hit that bed and see others napping, they do too. 

Levon decided the cold was - well cold. He peed on the pad when everyone was going out and then turned away from the door. LOL 

If you really watch the dogs - they are comical at times. You will find your laughter every single day no matter how bad it is. Dogs - well they are special and your heart swells with a good feeling - if allowed. Do allow. You will be glad that you did.

Pups, Adults and Brr Cold

Here is the gallery.

Abby and Fudge are having a blast with each other. Fudge is here overnight. Abby - a few days. 

Levon and Trigger are playing up a storm. 

Crepe acknowleged Harlow bur Crepe seem to want to play with others. Maybe he figured - new pals. It was his first time here and he had a great time. Our dogs are always welcoming. 

Mr. Leo departed. He is a riot as he jumps in his bag when his mom arrives. A few do that. It is fun to see. 

Ms. Meadow checks in on Abby but they play independently. 

Everyone and I mean everyone is having a blast. I just finished grooming and we are on Misty watch. As I sit here typing, I noticed it is pretty gloomy out here outdoors. Can we have summer back, please

Playing For Sure

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are playing and playing. Fun is to be had today. Well every day but they are spirited today. 

Harlow decided to take over her spot and it is all hers. 

We are now setting up for dinner. The dogs are anxiously awaiting their food especially Harlow, Levon and Trigger. They do like to eat.

Ms Coco has dropped in and she has been playing with Riley and Nica in a huge way. But everyone is playing.

It is snowing but it is light. How did we go from really warm weather to this?

Sunday, Sunday - what can I say!

Can Dogs Fly

Here is the gallery.

It appears they can if you pay attention to the movement. It is exciting to watch them have so much fun. 

We are still trying to figure out how to fit Misty in and so many conversations over what to move where and what not to. Got to laugh.

I did get a video up of a couple playing. They surely are having a ton of fun. 

Nathan is napping with those that wanted to nap and teh rest just came back in with Dennis while he ran around like - you fill in the blank - with the dogs and they loved it. 

Busy Day

Here is the gallery.

We had a busy day. Sage had her pups. It is cold outside. Dogs are having a ton of fun playing with each other though that play monkey Ozzie is missed by many. It was a partial day off for Nathan. Dennis is sleeping so he can do the all night duty.

Roger arrived! He is playing with Kinsey!

I am tired as I was up half the night due to Sage. Life in the puppy lane. LOL

Dogs will miss the run with Dennis today. There is tomorrow. I will do a hide and seek game instead. All is good and fun for the dawgs!
