Something to Say

I had to post this photo as it was a riot. She had something to say. 

Here is the gallery.

There are times that expressions are simply priceless.

It was an amazingly warm day today. The dogs loved it. I got to sit outdoors after I groomed. It was a perfect Fall day. 

I was trying to use the ipad outside and the dogs climbed on my back, on my lap, beside me. It was hysterical. Hope you had a day that made you laugh.

Now I am going to conquer a class that I have not been able to complete. The dogs are all in with me. Dennis is playing a game and nathan is having soup for dinner. 

Murphy is departing today. Ty is in his element - life is good and I could go on but its time for that class.

Mischievous and Fun

This is Coco the maltese. We have our tv room dog friendly and if you look in the gallery you will see Ms. Coco climbing large obstacles like she is a bigger dog. LOL 

Here is the gallery.

Ty arrived and so did Lexi and Chloe. Mia, Daisy, Pixie, Leo, Panda and Logan came for the day.

Ms Pixie and Mr. Leo had a spa day. They even got their massage. Thank you Dorothy for the big tip. So appreciative! You will see them in the gallery and Leo was trying hard to mess himself up. LOL Everyone has been playing. Mr. Murphy thinks he is Casanova. You have to laugh. 

Warm day tomorrow. How grand in Fall. I may sit outside. Only Dennis made it outside and 

Nap Time Can We

Here is the gallery.

This is Benjamin saying can I go for our nap?

Dante and Luna departed, Benjamin and Tia departed. Mr. Maui departed. Scruffy and Pepper departs tonight. Everyone was quite lovely. They had such a wonderful time!

Weather is cool. Nothing like having puppies around. Nothing like having olders.

We have not seen Scruffy and Pepper for like forever. It is so exciting to have them here.

Is it Fall? It surely feels that way.

I am told I need to make French Toast for dinner - really?

Nice Day Still

Here is today's gallery.

Today is my day off and boy you can tell with the lack of brushing hahahahaha Oh Nathan.... but he did go get Chicken Teriyaki for lunch and sushi for me. I keep getting Facebook ads for turkey and I must make one as teh dogs enjoy it so. Yes, I am laughing but oh so true.

Nathan has a class tonight with Ronnie and her Luna. I have a date with Foundations again.

Dante and Luna and Pepper and Scruffy dropped in. Such amazing fun is going on.

I am doing classes today - yeah that again but really I can make things for the puppy bags and do it well as I learn. I also got asked to do Christmas Ornaments with photos of dogs on them. That should be fun.

Well back to classes. I so want buttered popcorn from the theater but Nathan will be at class. can't have everything that you want and ordering it for delivery is well can't buy enough to get the minimum. I can only eat a medium bag. So till next weeks day off.

Good Day

Here is the gallery.

Dennis is waiting for me to watch Foundations on Apple TV. So, this will be short and sweet.

Everyone had a great time and now we are settling into tv time. Every now and then you have to. I hope this show is a good one.

Nathan got to talk to Ruth. Katie is enjoying herself. Daidy was here and decided she wanted to play more. LOL Rosey was here and had a total blast. She's Nami's sister. Mr Brewski is here chasing squirrels. Our pool is green but we finally found shock to get rid of the green. We shall see. Next year a new salt machine - joy.

Hope your week is going well. Off to tv.

Man on a Mission

Got to love Shlomo. He makes you smile.

Very small gallery - only.

Dogs had fun today. I groomed a great deal. Got a full schedule tomorrow. Ms Tenshi departs tomorrow - Daisy on Wednesday. Ms Harlow departed tonight = so happy to see her dad! Rosey, Coco, Daisy comes tomorrow. Ellie was here for her weekly playdate. She's so much fun.

Going to try to tackle a class. The clock is running out. LOL

Dogs are doing TV time.

On a Mission

The birds are out and so are the chipmunks. Got to investigate or so the dogs say.

Here is the gallery.

We had a full house this weekend. The dogs had fun as you will see in the gallery. Many classes to do and hope I can finish before they disappear.Most is decluttered. Nathan is still working on his office and we have some boxes in the hall. So, I hope soon. He is making progress.

Poor Dorothy came to pick up her dogs and no one answered the text, the phone and finally she knocked. That's unusual so sorry about that.

It's been a day. :-)

Short Blog

Juggling grooming, class and failing at class. I am sorely behind. So, as I still have 2 dogs to groom, class will be set aside and the blog will be short. I pray no more demattings.

Here is the gallery.

Nathan also sent me a few videos that I will upload as I am grooming. They are not there yet but when they are, you will be able to find them here.

Still raining off and on. It's cold and damp so we are doing a great deal inside.

Later...

Funny Dawgs

This is Daisy standing for such a long time on her back legs. What a riot.

Here is the gallery.

I do not think Pixie and Leo are in it as Nathan took photos this morning then a nap so no photos in the afternoon. It was Dennis day off. I had a class that really - I am VERY behind. I'm so frustrated balancing grooming and class. I am still doing projects so hoping I finish before bed. We shall see. Tomorrow's class is mighty interesting but I have dogs to juggle. We will figure it out. I should give up on classes.

I had to go to the Apple store as Dennis Air Pods Pro replacement was in. They sent me a note yesterday but it was in my junk folder. It said I had to come by 8pm tonight or they would give it to someone else. Really? The iphone 13 debut today and the line up was out the door, down the hall, around the bend and down more hall. Are you crazy, people? I walked right in the store and said I am supposed to get an air pods replacement and I was out the door in 10 minutes.

I have messed up in 2 designs on this class. Let's hope the 3rd is the charm. We have Pepper here over night. She is a ball of fun energy along with Coco. Coco departs tonight.

Leo thinks Nami smells just right or something. He keeps sniffing her neck. Nami seems to be pleased to get the attention. Pixie found Roxie's spot on the couch and when Roxie tried to gently push up against her Pixie said NO. LOL

It's a really fun house.

Our pool is emerald green. It seems our chlorinator is not working and chlorine is hard to come by. Next years cost and now we have to find someone to close. <sigh>

I so hate cold.

Relationships

Ripley and Tenshi enjoy each other - at least they did today.

Here is today's gallery.

I think the dogs want sunny days. Don't you?

We had a fun day. It is tv time. This is a short blog. LOL

Say Prayers

Ziggy, Katie and MeNathan picked up Katie last night and an ambulance was called for her mom. May she rally and come home soon. I couldn't get her off my mind all last night and this morning.

Katie is enjoying herself.

It is my day off. Nathan and Dennis are going to the dump while I watch the dogs. They say they have 2 runs. We shall see and Ronnie, Elana and I are heading to Lonestar tonight. I look forward to the company and the yum margaritas. My days off are usually not a day off unless I go somewhere.

Thursday we head out to Nathan's brothers house for a luncheon. His brother has inoperable cancer so they are going to travel everywhere he wants. I say good for them!

Nathan continues to clean his office/den. It should be done today. Now to get all the boxes out of the hallway.

It's raining and they say cooling off. <sigh> Guess I best dress warm. Here is the gallery inside as it is raining.

Ziggy departed. His play monkey self will be missed. Happy to see his human parents, happy to come. It's how it should be.

Not Many

I kept forgetting to take photos so the gallery is very small.

Ziggy is departing tomorrow. He gets a bath and who knows how he will ever stay clean if the big storm comes but we will try. LOLHe will be missed. He's been a fixture and a moving target for a bit and I do believe he enjoyed his holiday. I know we enjoyed him.

I am done decluttering though Dennis tells me after a dump run that we have a garage to do. I so enjoyed having a no cleaning day. I had grooming but since Friday it has been nuts. Nathan is doing his office and well... we won't go there.

I have a class this weekend starting on Friday and ending on Sunday night. I was not going to do any grooming as I need to stay focused on the class but I do have 5 all due Sunday to do so I will be doing between or get up extra early or the night before or on break. LOL They don't let you record this stuff. Not fair.

The dogs were lazing around the pool today and I sat hanging my feet in. It was delightful to have them join me and enjoy the non stop work we were doing.

I believe Barney is coming. Daisy was here today. She has an excellent spirit. She embraces life like we all should. Of course she doesn't have chores to do.

It's been a day!

2 Blog Day

Here is the gallery.

This is Ellie playing on the outdoor couch. Sully amd Simon departed and we were not here. We gad a genius appointment for Dennis ipods. They are still under warranty. They did all sorts of diagnostic tests and said yep they are dead. Took 2 long and we won't get a replacement for 5 working days and we have to go back and pick them up. Got to love it but at least free. This is the 2nd time these have died. First time they repaired and that took 2 weeks. So, we were sorry not to have seen the guys go. Dennis was here but when you have an apple appointment and don't go, you wait days to get another. LOL

Dogs had fun. They ran. They jumped. They had a blast. Nathan turned the heat off in the pool. I requested it go back in, I would have swam today.

Amy is sitting up on high as the queen she is. Winston was here today. It's been fun.

I think I am exhausted.

Lucky comes to visit so another puppy... how fun!

Sad Sad Day

This was taken when Teddy went home to Joe and Trudy's home. Yesterday we heard from Joe that Trudy passed away. You may have seen them at the picnic. We saw them each time Teddy needed a groom. Last time was the day before Trudy was getting out of the hospital. I had no time for a groom but wanted to make sure Teddy was nice and clean and fully groomed before she arrived at home. I am glad I made the time and figured out what I thought was an impossible schedule.

I am exceedingly sad for Joe, for Teddy. She always had a tip for me in a separate envelope and a holiday bonus. She always thanked me and when Nathan was going through his surgery, she always had an upbeat - this is nothing spirit.

Here is the blog entry when Teddy went home.

I will always remember her as the lady in the most exquisite leather pants and clothes. She just had impeccable taste. She will be missed truly!

Busy Sunday

Buddy edged Hallie into the pool today so I decided to quickly wash and dry. We are exceedingly busy so we have a short blog.

Here is the gallery.

Senior Coco, Rocco, Tucker and Buddy all departed. It's getting quiet.

I need to get back to decluttering so by Tuesday I am done and Nathan can do his office and closet. I am doing this around grooming. Nathan started cleaning his closet and started putting piles everywhere so I could clean that, Doesn't work that way. Don't have a place for it then it heads to the dump or its not called decluttering.

The dogs find this fascinating. They follow me around and look as if they are trying to figure it out. We are on the same page. I am too. So laughing... but they seem to be enjoying it fully. It's a new game!!

Saturday in September

Here is the gallery.

We had a fun day but short blogging as I am - yep decluttering. I hate cleaning. I hate filling bags that have memories and heave ho but I must. I am hoping to be done by Tuesday and take the day off Wednesday. I am doing this after grooming. I have had brie cheese and triscuits for lunch and dinner.

We had Coco here and puppies are well puppies are fun. We also have senior Coco here and she is doing well. Everyone is happy to be here and that makes me feel good.

Buddy and Tucker also dropped in and Leo departed. Sully, Simon, Ziggy and Rocco are having a total blast. It has been such a warm day and Nathan was out with the dogs quite a bit. Lucky him.

I wonder what Sunday will bring? More dog fun, I imagine.

Short blog as Dennis wants to keep working. LOL Me - I am dead.

Happy 7th Birthday

We are celebrating Rusty’s 7th Birthday. Rusty was waiting for his special treat but Luna could not stay still. Even her hair couldn’t be held down. We wish Ella and all Rusty’s siblings a Happy and Delicious Birthday 🎂🎉

Run 2 Blog Day

Here is the gallery.

No matter what we do, we manage to always make sure the dogs have fun. We always have a run game and the dogs and humans rest after. LOL

Dennis and I are decluttering the house. You think x room doesn't need it and then you start doing closets and clothes on the bedroom couch (is that like clothes on a treadmill- yep)and you go, oh my. I am wondering if it is too early to put away most of the summer clothes. hmmm I am in a comatose state of mind, at the moment.

Dennis took all our blankets and beds in crates and has them piled to be washed. He does this about once a week and guess who does the laundry between grooming.

We had Oakley here and Leo arrived. Both had a fabulous time and Leo is here overnight. Sully and Simon dropped in and they are way comfie. Both know where the treats are and both are playing as soon as they came in.

Tenshi has been playing up a storm and she has demanded that the bed on top of the crate next to the couch is hers - not some - all of it. She loves being on high. Nathan is going to brush Tenshi before she goes home. He just doesn't know it yet. LOL

There are 2 blogs today as we always have when there is a birthday!

Dorothy dropped off some spray for me to try. I didn't have a clue till Nathan went out to buy dog food. Seems we were all out. Thank you, Dorothy truly!

Making a Mess

Here is the gallery.

Jersey was over and having a grand time with her mom. Mom had her hair tied up but nit after Jersey.

Maui was also here and playing with his sister from the moment he entered the house. You can see it in a video.

Dogs are playing. We are still getting ready for winter but I tell you they said it is going to be hot tomorrow. We don't even have the pool booked to be closed. Arw we hopeful or what!

Ripley was here and he has become mighty comfie here and he has his faves.

Harlow decided her bed was now under the desk when it comes to naps. She has been around long enough to clain her real estate.

Rocoo and Ziggy was the leaders today in the run game.

It was a good day!!

No Gallery Day

Sorry its a no gallery day. We are doing decluttering. It's an evil word. LOL Well I say we as it is Dennis and I. I hate decluttering but I refuse to do Nathan's office and oh boy it needs to be done. I am almost done my office slash familyroom. It's not complete but almost there. This was my day off. I told no one gets one till we are done and it best be now otherwise the snow flying will be an excuse.

I did manage to comb out dogs even though I was going to wait till Thursday. Why not declutter and comb out. I have grooming to do with others so .... I want it (meaning decluttering) done before my class on the 24th. Dennis is working on the basement as our son Jon never seems to get his stuff out of it and into storage. We are storage but I so want to use the basement. It's been a goal that has never materialized. I keep trying. One day.

The dogs had fun despite my filling bags. They kept sniffing wondering what I was doing. Now they are doing tv time with Nathan.

Outside is pretty much done. Now indoors has a turn.

It's our son Jon's birthday.

Feels like it is getting cooler already.... Till tomorrow and hopefully a gallery.

The dogs are great....
