Playing Today

Here is the gallery. 

Don't you love how they stand on their back legs and play? 

Charlie, Bria, Nava, Bonham and Amy departed today. Some just for a playday - some for groom and some from the end of their holiday. Tomorrow Meadow, Jasper and Kiki is coming. It's going to be a truly fun day!

Bonham's momma gave me to die for homemade cookies and I mean to die for plus a gift card for my birthday. Thank you. I tried to steal them all and Dennis complained about just having 2. I have to laugh.

Dogs are doing hide a treat tonight. It's one of their best fun games!

Have to say missing the pups...crazy - I know. Not missing the work but the pups yes!

Got to Play

Here is the gallery.

Thank you to all that sent Happy Birthdays. It means the world to me, truly! The dogs gave me a ton of kisses. Oakley's mom gave me a chocolate mousse cheesecake - profound thanks! Sherry gave me presents that was very useful and needed. Ty's mom offered to make me something - wow thank you and I got something yesterday's from Butch's family that was chewy but not sure what it is. :-) Dennis has been sneaking it.

The dogs - well they make everything possible including the hubby and good friends so thank you!

It's been a no groom day - a day of must rest and the dogs snuggled with me. The dogs are quieter today. A couple of more dogs depart tomorrow - Charlie and Bria. It's getting quiet and no pups to run the halls with.

Busy day tomorrow - quiet today. 

You will notice in the gallery that the dogs are playing!!

Rainy Icy Day

Inbetween the dogs get to go out but its a lazy chill day when the ice is pelting here and can you blame them? Mt Brewer is here playing. It's not so often that he comes and so when he does, he is downright happy.

Here is the gallery.

This is a 2 blog day as we also have a happy birthday. Scroll down to see. 

Not many photos due to the weather but they are still managing fun!

Happy 7th Birthday!

Here's wishing all Murphy's siblings a very happy birthday.

Can't believe she is 7 already!

Thank you for everything - you are the best. 

Love Olive

After Today

Until we get permission to post photos, we will just be updating this blog. Tomorrow we have the last pup to depart. 

I had a CRAZY and I mean crazy day of grooming. I spent lap time with the puppy. We had a wasp in my grooming room and can't figure out how that happened - yes alive.

Thursday is the birthday and its a day off. Dennis slept in today till 8am today. It's been a long time since we have had a day off. Thursday is mine. 

Rain tomorrow - really or snow?

Here is today's gallery.

We had two Stormy puppy brothers here - Ozzie and Ollie. I believe we have a video of it.  The brothers had a love fest play session going on today. Reese got some love in with Butch Cassidy. Shlomo and Ozzie was playing up a storm. Miss Olive, Ozzie and Ollie departed and so did Mr. Benjamin. Tonight Miss Mia departs. 

It's getting quiet.... Will I get popcorn from the movie theater on Thursday? I won't see one of the sons. Looks like another trick ski accident. How many times does it need to happen before... Okay the birthday is coming - only good things. LOL What can I watch on tv now that I have a day off? You tell me... something good... not scary - not depressing... something fascinating. Got any ideas? Maybe I will just snuggle with the dogs in bed all day. Yeah...

Thank you to Sherry for the fabulous gifts.  

The dogs get us by.... and I hope they do for you too!

Busy But Fun

Here is today's gallery.

We had a blast today. Mr. Shlomo will get a bath in a couple of days. Miss Olive will be departing. Tomorrow Ollie comes and Ozzie departs. It's fun times and Puppy Elvis was here today playing with Knuckles and crew. It was a fun day!

Laze and Play

Here is the gallery.

They play. They nap they play again. lol

Dogs are departing and it is getting quiet. That's okay too. Ms Marcie was the last to depart today. Nathan is taking his nap with some. The rest are enjoying this nice weather. Dennis is playing as I type with some.

So, 2 pups will have their baths when he gets up and then we will be down to 1 till Wednesday. 

It was a strange day today. Not a fun one but it's a day. The dogs - they are having fun!.

Short Update

Mr. Oz and Tenshi hanging together....

Here is the gallery.

It really is too wet to get decent photos and each time they go out, I am rinsing and drying undercarriages so as they say - it is what it is. I still have a dog to do as soon as I finish the blogs.

It is a late night tonight. Nathan is watching tv with the dogs. me - well I am working but the dogs are enjoying tv time. A door knock om the tv and they sounded the alert. LOL If course they did!

I also still have videos to upload.

Crazy Busy Day

Here is the gallery.

I had a lot of dogs to wash, do haircuts on etc so here I am finally doing the blogs. I need to do more stuff and may have a gin and tonic so bear with me being so short.

Dogs are having a blast. Ice is still there despite the warmer weather. The dogs are running so it is more slushy than solid ice. 

Just know the dogs are having a total blast!

We have a pup going home tomorrow and I have 5 dogs to groom to go home so Dennis is talking about staying up till midnight to clean. I am so thoroughly laughing. It's not that it's so dirty. But tonight? I think I need that gin and tonic after all!

Boots and Update

I am posting early to ask what boots do you use, if any and why. Sherry is using the balloon ones and they are irritating Murphy's feet. We do not use boots so I can't offer her an oponion. 

I call this - got to fly! It is an exceedingly busy day today and Nathan goes to class with Kinsey tonight. 

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are running, playing and now singing for their suppoer. It's a dog day fun day today!

Got to Play and Play

Dennis doesn't always capture everyone playing as sometimes he would have to be carrying the camera with him always. That doesn't work but every now and then he gets moments like the above with Jersey and Pepper. 

Here is the gallery.

It is truly special to be a part of the dog's life = creating memories and smiling. This is priceless. These may be very busy times but you need smiles. As I am extra busy, Dennis is carrying more of a weight so if he didn't capture your dog - huge apologies. We are trying. But be assured they are all playing. They also all have blankets that I am warming up for the tv room when they come in from all that wet. It is so wet out there. That means drying one by one quite literally!

Wet Play

Here is the gallery.

Opus departs today so after I do the blogs - around 2pm, he gets spruced up and boy he needs it the way he plays. All the dogs are playing but soaking floors, bodies, dryers, combouts - my day and I had lovely mac and cheese today. It is what it is. 

As I was getting the treats ready for the pups departing starting this week, I had all eyes on me. I wonder what they want. It can't be they just want me. LOL

This inbetween snow is - well a mess. Blankets galore in the TV room till I get to each and then it starts again when they go out.

On another note, we have quite a few Ukranians and Russian owners of our dogs. Be kind - help where you can. Each day I read and my heart sinks deeper. It's a sad time for the world. 

Monday Monday

Well with meltdown some cleanup but inbetween that you see Dennis running around like a maniac as the dogs chase him. It's a sight for sore eyes and then he slips - ouch. He's okay - just a bit sore and all the dogs jumped all over him kissing him. They so love his fun!

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are truly having a blast despite the wetness and they say on the 17th it will be the warmest in 10 years. We shall see. 

Happy 1st

Wishing Phoenix’s siblings a very happy  1st birthday!!!

Wow 1 year old already!

Happy 1st Birthday Phoenix and Coco! Love Benjamin Bridge aka Benji.

Coco is here for her 1st birthday having a blast. She wishes her siblings a wonderful birthday!

Two Updates Today

Here is today's gallery.

We have a happy 1st above and we have the dogs here having a blast during March break. With pups going home, I have a lot of things to prep so bear with me this week. I may be short as I am busy but that's because we are still doing all the normal things except shorter blogs. LOL

It has been snowing lightly off and on. 

Dogs were up at 6am vs 7am today - sigh. I tried to stay up till midnight to try to win something and fell asleep just before. Oh well... it was silly to do that. Sometimes I can be hopeful and well an idiot too. What was the chance of winning a 5400. Dreambox. Not great so sleep was a better idea!

Dogs are getting SOAKED due to this inbetween weather. Ice balls and all so I have that on my plate too. Do you?

Time Change Coming

Let's play - it's the operative word here!

Here is the gallery.

Dogs have been having a marvelous March Break. I hope you are too! 

I am yearning for movie theatre popcorn but Nathan looks at me cross-eyed. It's 5 min away so he could go pick it up and bring it home. Oh well, not happening -  maybe for the birthday - yes I am laughing. 

Most of the dogs wanted to go for a nap. Good thing we have a twin saddled up to a king and a bench at the end so they have lots of room. It is how we sleep at night - on, off wherever they want.  I dream of designing something that expands the bed. I am so laughing. But for some reason they all ran to go nap. Maybe it was all of the play this morning. Even in this cold, and invigorating as it is, they did expel a lot of energy. Now they are sitting around saying hey you are late for dinner. I do so laugh. They know the time especially Harlow!

At 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13, almost every clock in Canada will need to move ahead one hour to remain compliant with daylight saving time. Aren't you happy? Not me!

Fresh Snow

Today we got email asking us when we wanted to book our pool opening and I looked outside and smiled. Yes, it's snowing and the dogs love it.

Here is the gallery.

To be honest, a nice snow dusting is pretty. 

We have a lot of players here. They are having fun and they are getting the ones that watch or play a little to play too. Nothing like a party when all the attendees are welcoming. 

The dogs are waiting to eat. Dennis is a bit slow today as they usually eat at 430 but he just came in after playing with the dogs outside. We have our priorities. Plat before eating. We could all use that!

Chilling

This is Harper after playing. There is something about the cool leather recliner that the dogs love. In the tv room we have 2 recliners and a recling leather couch. It is comfie for Nathan and the dogs. 

The 24th is my birthday so no grooming. That's my present to me - just have some down time - maybe a tall gin and tonic and a great meal - maybe blackened chicken from the Keg - takeout. Are they still allowing takeout? Here is hoping!

Here is today's gallery.

We still have a fair bit of snow, ice and even water pockets. I was just told more snow is coming. Yikes - enough. 

We have a nice selection of dogs here and everyone is having fun. Off to bed...

Mr. Reggie departs tomorrow. So enjoyed having him here! Tanner and Logan - both are having a great time and Ms Tiny Olive is telling the crew - its mine. So laughing!

Very Few

We had a long day due to the vet so little photos and I just finished combing them all out. Now they get TV time with Nathan.

Here is the gallery.

Playing catch-up is ruff. LOL Yes, I know how to spell rough. 

Happy First

Bailey and Alfie celebrated their first birthday together today.

Happy birthday - little ones to the both of you and to your siblings!
