Time for Brushing: Thoughts Added

Time to get a brush out. It's raining and that means no pool time. Time is running out to swim as I am due September 13 - September 19, 2014. Got to get my swimming in, don't you know?

Mommy needs to buy another Foscam camera or she will be taking videos of my pups manually. :-) Daddy says we need to wait as we have xrays and all sorts of things going on. So manual it is.

If you are interested in buying your own camera just to see what your dogs are doing then check the one I have out. It is an older model but well worth it and from the puppy videos you can see that the quality is decent. See my existing camera for pups. You do not need the add ons. The better quality version (more resolutions) is this one. But if you want quality and 3x optical zoom (can be useful) it's a bit more pricier but may be worth it for you. They last - low maintenance and will tell you what trouble your dogs are up to while you are gone right from your iphone or android or ipad. You can record, talk to them (yes talk to them) and listen in. It's not just visual. You can even take still photos.

If I have to wait and it sounds like I must as xrays and all that are more important I may opt for saving up for the most expensive version noted here and have it in time for Panda's litter. So now I know where my tip money is going to and you may want to get one yourself. It's an investment that is actually well worth it. With Wifi I can actually go into the yard and look on the ipad and see what the pups are doing. I can groom and watch the pups. It gives me a level of ah instead of rushing to do this and that and checking in. All I have to do is look on the ipad and see they are still sleeping. That ability to me makes juggling less stress filled.

I actually think that it would be fun and interesting to find out what Coop does alone in the house when we are gone for a bit. I think he sleeps by the Dutch door until we return because that is where we find him when we get home but who knows for sure......a camera would tell us .....hum...Russell, Christmas is coming soon :-)

They are not that expensive. The better quality one is but you see the quality I get with the cheaper one. I am going to try to get one by Panda's pups - going to save up for the more expensive one. Just have to convince Nathan I need it and that I can pocket a portion of each grooming to go to that fund.Won't be able to manage it for Roxies but hoping for Pandas. They are local.

Tell him the next time he is in town to get you one. :-) It will be fun to see what he is up to. We often find its different than our imagination. Bonus if he is up to no good you can say Cooper don't do that and he will wonder where your voice is coming from.
