Snow Diving

We are known for our dogs diving into the pool but Ellie dives into the snow - no lie and it's hysterical.

She had the best time.

Here is the gallery.

Here she is playing with Nami.

The dogs now all have bones and all separated so no one tries to take theirs. Dennis went to take them out and went oh you gave them something. No way they will leave that to go outside. I said sorry but....

See Sage's blog to see that Truffie finally ate... Stormy is now in heat. We will survive. :-) I am so in love with sour dough bread these days for dipping in stew and soups. I feel like a little kid dipping bread but it's good.

We are in meltdown so I suspect tonight that will bring ice. Stay safe. Walk carefully and hug those dogs - will ya?

Two Updates Today

The young ones know how to entertain the guests. Here is Bailey and Rebel.

Here is Pablo and Nami. They had a blast but someone took out Pablo's elastic. hmmm There is something about crisp air. It invigorates the dogs.

Here is today and yesterday's gallery.

Not much to say other than the dogs had fun and we are expecting more snow. But I am not seeing it yet. Are you in the looking forward to snow zone?

Happy 7th Birthday and Happy 65

Here is a picture of Katie and I celebrating our birthdays. Katie turned 7 yrs yesterday!! Where does the time go? I turned 65 yrs old on the 11th! Can't believe I'm now an official senior citizen! Katie wishes her brother Odin a happy birthday.

Hi Nathan & Darlah,

    Long long long time no chat/see. Like everyone else, we haven't been going away for a long time. I can't believe its Odin's 7th birthday today. Odin would like to say "Happy Birthday" to his big sister. He wants to say "Get well soon" to Nathan too.

    Appending a recent picture of Odin here, he misses u guys....

No Gallery Today

Tomorrow I will double up the photos and have a gallery. Today I need to breathe - if that makes sense.

Dogs were not as thrilled with the snow as they were yesterday. Perhaps with tomorrow's storm they will be.

Misty threw up all over my bed and me last night so I am tired. She was energized after that. I guess morning sickness is not gone.  Isn't that a wonderful visual site? I have walked upstairs 12 times today.

Tomorrow is groom and catch-up day. Time to at least get things organized for pups. I am going to play with the dogs tonight, have a gin and tonic and maybe play a game on the ipad. That is, if things don't get in the way. LOL

Snow Came

The snow arrived. We didn't get as much as they were saying but it was enough to have Dennis shovel, me clean off the car and warm it up for Nathan. Roads were awful this morning. They really didn't get even the main sanded so it was slippery. On the way back the main roads were clear.

Dennis tried an electric shovel that a friend gave us. They bought a snowblower and is never looking back. As this is a cheap one, you can't direct the snow. It just goes forward and when it is windy, your glasses and face gets the brunt which happened to Dennis today. He was so frustrated. I promised him next year a snowblower. He went out at 7am and I fed the dogs as he wanted it all done before Nathan's appointment. We had to leave at 10am. The dog's just looked at Dennis as if he was really nuts. That's okay. they needed some comic relief and they got it.

By the time Ellie and Brewer arrived he had some paths done so Ellie didn't have to do the jump and sink like Rebel did. Rebel puts her whole face in it and Nami does snow angels much like Harlow except she also tunnels through the snow like a shovel.

Here is the gallery. I took photos and Dennis took photos.

I finally got everyone brushed and well they look like I did nothing after Dennis' took them out for a run. I wish Dennis allowed videos or photos of him but it is a bloody riot. He jumps like a pogo stick all over the backyard and the dogs jump and chase and have a grand time. Then they come in for me to comb. I am not done yet so back to it. LOL They truly have a crazy fun time with Dennis. If I hadn't been so busy, I was going to do snow angels with them. Till next time!

Looks like Nami is holding her colour. I thinj she is darker than her mom.

Snow Coming?

Leave it to Rebel who knows how to have fun. We are waiting for the big storm that is coming overnight. Let's see if it materializes. They say freezing rain in the morning about the time I need to go out.

Here is the gallery.

Dogs really have a full day. They play and play. Murphy and Brewer departed today. Ellie may or may not come depending on the weather. If we really get a lot of snow, we may have some fun paths and tunnels for the dogs.

It sucks for those that need to drive but wonderful for the dogs as cold means the snow won't stick to their hair. Hooray!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Here is the 2 day gallery.

Short blog today but the dawgs are having fun. Hope you all are enjoying the day! Tomorrow I get back to grooming.

I want to say a special thank you to Glory and Louis mom and dad for sending over a heart friendly meal so I didn't have to cook for one meal. Nathan eats lately like he is starved. Who eats that much and doesn't gain. LOL Not I.

We have xray dates for the gals. I will post on their blog. I need to do a calendar but haven't had the time. Lately I feel like I am falling down on the job. i will get better. :-)

We had a dusting of snow last night and Dennis had them out running. It was fun to watch.

No Gallery Day

Sorry folks, I tried and tried and we have an issue with the gallery uploading. I am taking it as a sign. LOL

Shady, Nora and George was new in the house. George is now home and Shady and Nora add a new element to the house. Both are playing. George and Shady are pictured above.

I was supposed to ship out books for Nathan and the club and I just missed the closure today and looks like they are not open till Tuesday. WTG Darlah but I had grooming on a timeframe that had to be met. It is what it is.

I am still hoping for snow. I need more Pet Safe deicer junk for the front. It's been too cold to snow and mega ice in my front. I use and use and use it and it doesn't make a dent.

I am waiting for Nathan's Valentine's Day present from me that is supposed to arrive by 10pm tonight. My present will be no grooming for the day and I will play catch up on Monday.

I also have grocery gateway delivering tonight and the only time slot I could get is 7 to 9pm. That's okay. Nathan is eating so much fruit that I am having to replenish.

May everyone have an amazing Valentine's Day. If you are alone, treat yourself. You deserve it!!

Play Times

Shlomo was over and had a great time playing. Usually we do not catch him as by the time you go get the camera, he's done but today he played and played and played.

Here is the gallery.

Sage is in heat so the boys are all going crazy. No one else yet. Sorry but oh my gad such timing. I have to start updating Misty and Raven's blogs. I have just had so much on my plate as you can see I am updating this blog at 840pm. I will try to get with it. LOL

Tenshi departed tonight and she always has a blast. Reggie can now see as I trimmed his face.

Till tomorrow....

Late in the House

Leo and Rebel had an amazing time today as pups should. LOL Leo plays with everyone just like Rebel does. You can see it in the gallery.

Murphy and Misty enjoy each other's company but tonight as Nathan is downstairs taking over my tv (rare treat) Saffron and Murphy are spooning at his feet.

Rebel is still coming through the bars as she can't help but to see them.

I find I have a crazy day. My bed has bedding on top waiting to be made. I am blogging and its 850 at night. Nathan is eating so much and still not gaining. It's an insane amount of food.

Dennis is learning the camera and as of late all the photos are his including the mid air ones.

Tomorrow is a very full day. On Sunday I will toast a day off. :-)

Visitors in the House

Daisy was here and she couldn't stop playing as you will see in the gallery. I wonder if she is tired tonight. :-) Gucci was here but not many photos of her as she was groomed then off she went. She had fun before she departed though!

Magic was being a cheeky thing playing with me after she was groomed. She was having fun and so was I.

Short blog tonight as blogging is getting later and later but there are lots of photos. :-0

Short Blog

Luna, Rusty and Holly arrived today along with Brewer. Fun was had by all.

Here is the gallery.

Thank you to Sue for driving all the way here and making me laugh about grumpy! Treasured indeed!

Tomorrow we see Gucci, Daisy and Magic!! Our front landing is icy despite me using an entire container of the paw friendly deicer.

Till tomorrow...

Long Day

Harlow is smiling and running - how nice.

Here is the gallery.

I think the world has gone crazy. I slipped and fell catching the fall with my left wrist on our front landing. I had run out of deicer and was going out to warm up the car for Nathan to go to the doctors - just a checkup. I also had my side door registering as it was open but frozen. It was tense but I could talk about the side car driver in my car but I won't. I will talk about Pet Valu where I stopped to get deicer. I don't shop there but I drove by there to come home. It was an experience. They had lineups down the front of the store - the door was wide open so I entered. He said no, no, no. What do you want? I said deicer. He said throw your card on the ground and I will ring it up. I said WHAT. He said if you want the deicer throw your card and I will ring it up. So I threw the debit card. Never had to put a pin in and he rang it up. I am confused. I guess he waved it for me. I didn't feel good about this process but off I went home.

Dogs were excited to see me. Ellie had a spa experience. My wrist hurt but now its the whole arm so I am going to make aleve my pal. I took one and it did nothing.

I am tired. Dogs jumped all over me in the recliner today. Made my day. Tomorrow I am going to try a new game with them. I am still jazzed the washer is running. I know silly but no handwashing for me. I suck at it. LOL How can anyone suck at handwashing but I do. We all suck at something, I imagine.

I can't move when I lay down. I have to play dead or they kiss me all over!

Game Playing

Stone has been having fun - crazy fun today. He has been playing up a storm.

Here is today's gallery.

The dogs appreciated the crisp cool air today.It tends to infuse them with deep joy!

Murphy departed today, We miss her already but are happy that we get time with some of the dogs. It feels grand to have them in our lives.

Reggie is really into a groove. He so loves the snuggles and plays with everyone.

Nathan found his music to exercise with on sirius. He has not had a 12 string acoustic guitar for eons as he gave his last one to our son to learn and it burned in a fire. So, I promised Nathan my tips are now getting saved up so he can have one in his life again. This way his fingers can get calloused again. LOL I want him to enjoy every day!

Girls are back eating well now so morning sickness is over. HOORAY!!!

Saturday in February

Here is the gallery.

Don't worry Sherry - Ms Murphy eventually got a comb out by Dennis as my hand is still messed up. I will follow up tomorrow. He did better than I thought he would.

Dogs had fun. I did my 1st cook in the winter BBQing today for Nathan. Dogs had some treats too.

We did a hide a treat game today and Murphy must be an expert as she almost found them all. I had to take her out of the game as she would have had them ALL. Have you been working with her, Sherry?

The dogs ran and ran with Dennis. Now they are tuckered out. Then Nathan came down and they went crazy. Too much still for him so Dennis sent him back upstairs. LOL

I am watching a CRAZY tv show for the 1st time in a long time called the Righteous Gemstones with dogs all over me. Oh my...

Happy 9th Missed Yesterday Photo

A little late, time got away on me. Here’s a collage of photos for Tre’s 9th birthday.

Darlah and Nathan

Tre is my best boy, with blonde streaks from Abbey and Phantom’s  amber eyes. He’s the most fun loving dog, with a truly infectious smile. Tre sends birthday wishes to his siblings and extra big hugs to both of you.

Snow Angels: 2 Updates Today

Here is today's gallery.

Two updates today. This is Harlow getting her snow angel thing going on. It rained today so it was mighty wet out there. Why can't we have a decent snow fall? Today we also had Brewer, Marcie, Ollie and Rocky visiting. They truly had a blast.

My hand is a bit screwed up so I am resting it tomorrow. Opening gates problematic. Aleve and tylenol 1s are my friend. This too shall pass.

7pm and want to crawl into bed. LOL What is new.

Been updating Misty and Raven's blog every now and then.

Happy 9th Birthday

Laci wishes her 3 brothers a very Happy 9th Birthday! 

Hope you have a great day! I’m smiling at Mommy singing to me. She thinks I like it!  🎶 Heehee.

Hugs to Uncle Nathan!  Hope he gets better soon so he can run around and play with all the dogs again. 🤗 ♥️ xoxo

Happy 9th Birthday

Shady wants to say happy birthday to his litter mates.

He also wants to send well wishes to Nathan to continue getting better.

Shady is having a great bday full of treats and long walks. He even saw his niece (and Nora’s sister) little Olive on his bday walk.  Shady is loving the lockdown and having everyone at home. He’s happy Ontario is doing so badly vaccinating us.

Brie's mom sent me a link to a gallery but I can't access it. Happy Birthday, Brie!

2 updates today!

Maui and Fun

Maui was here and what a cute face he has - so thoroughly smirking and smiling always. It was a dream to watch him play today.

Here is the gallery.

Nami was in 7th heaven to have him play and she wasn't the only one. It was a good day. I think Harlow is upset we don't have snow. She tried to do her rub on the ground and with just wet ice, well snow angels is not easy. LOL She made the best of it!
