Family Continues

Dani with the pup. She was able to make it up and spend some time with us and Odin. It was wonderful!

Two babies - human and canine Odin. Holding is Nathan's brother Allan and Nathan's dad, Ernie.

Updates are going to be tough but we will try with so much hands on fun.

Odins Back

Well he is back while his humans are on holiday. To say Roxie was delighted was an understatement. Here are a few photos to capture the moments for you of that first inside the door experience.

I do believe he is having the time of his life. I also managed to catch him in the arms of our oldest grand daughter, Sarah.

No Photo Day

Roxie went to visit Jazzy today as a fun distraction. As she is rather fond of Jazzy it was a special treat!

We will be updating in the next few days with photos and videos that you didn't see. Just let us get through the fun and the busy-ness of teh relatives descending on us starting at 7am.

Transitions

She's missing the pups but she is playing with the crew. She is adjusting. Think she will adjust more when Panda's are gone. She wants so to coddle Panda's but Panda is so attentive Roxie doesn't have a chance.

The last of Roxie's pups are now home. Katie was the last to leave and we will miss her spirit!

Click on Photo for Larger ViewJust the way she jumps on you to say hello - I am here makes my heart skip a beat. Now that we are down to 2 I think I am feeling it but I am happy for the new adventure. When the last 2 depart I will start adding photos and videos that we have received.

Ms. Water gal you will have to come swim when we invite the others to come if not sooner after our family departs so you can have a playdate with the siblings.

Katie's Bath

Katie was AMAZING! Oh my gad she will have to come this summer as she appears to be a water dog.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewShe has such a grand spirit. She just seems to embrace it all!

Click on Photo for Larger ViewShe cleans up quite well too.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewAs you can tell she is super relaxed. Then when she was done she was off to play. We had - well I had to do baths between dogs going home otherwise I would be doing them too late and updating the blog too late.

Between the baths, the going homes, the snuggles, the photos, the blogs - and the grand daughter - oh my what a weekend this has been. Tomorrow Miss Katie and  Miss Meika departs.

Wow....

Moms are starting to adjust. Soon they will be swimming - we hope.

Buddy Departs

Click on Photo for Larger View

This is Spice's #1 boy that Roxie took care of. When I do a gallery you will see just how much she loves this guy!

Click on Photo for Larger ViewAs Buddy was departing I was immersed in Dani stuff - so crazy and now I am off to wash the 3 departing tomorrow. Why does life have to be so busy? Back is indeed better but I am finding bending over (which I can now without sharp pains) is aggravating it. I will survive.

Buddy chased Tucker all over the place. I have a feeling they are going to be great together.

Good thing I had my moments with him this morning. Look forward to seeing him again!

Buddy's New Family

The photos are coming..... As this is a shared motherhood product it seems it is only fair to put it on the Roxie's blog as she put in all the work. :-)

Momma Play

Roxie had a blast with Odin. Did she know it was him? Yes! She rather enjoyed his visit. It was wonderful to watch!

PS: Today Dennis left the bed up against the crate and even the littlest one made it up on the crate. tsk tsk.

Creative One

Katie climbed up on the crate and was caught in the act. She is amazing but I find all of them can climb up in the chair. The key to this is do not have a bed next to the crate and do not have it up against the side of the xpen. You learn each time one tries something new. She looked at us as if to say - what?

The dogs had a fair amount of time outside between rainstorms. We even managed to have one session before the rain hit. Can the rain please go away? Looks like we are going to have rain till Monday.

Odin came to visit for a playdate today and he had a roaring grand time. Oh my gad was Roxie happy to see him. It was wonderful to watch. We got a video but I am sure I can't sit long enough to do it so tomorrow.
