Outside Fun

My day started with sleep for 4 hours and then I crawled out of bed and sent Dennis to sleep as he is on the night shift.

I put one of my grooming tables outside of the family room where the pups are so I could groom and watch.

I got everyone groomed up except Logan, Panda and Scruffy as they get done just before going home.

It's obvious to me everyone needs baths but this will have to wait.

We are slowly getting back to normalcy, whatever that is. I have far from recovered.

I do believe the dogs were excited to have Nathan throwing the frisbee and toy and me clicking the camera. They acted that way.

Kat and Truffie and Nathan will kill me - but also Roxie were so overjoyed it was crazy. The rest all gave me kisses and snuggles etc but they were not quite over the top in a ridiculous state of mind. Interesting enough Panda - well she gave me kisses and snuggles but Logan was beside himself to see me too jumping up and down as if I was this long lost soul he remembered. Scruffy thought - wow she's out here too and lathered me with kisses. Timmy thought this was a curious state and Cody melted into my neck. Bobbie Ann was excited to see me too though Dennis is her person in a big way. Nathan is working on her becoming his world till she goes home as that is who he is.

Then they realized what me with a camera and Nathan with toys meant and they played and played and played their hearts out - even old lady Shoshi and Risa. So in reality they were all quite happy I was out clicking and Nathan was throwing and running.

Here are a few photos taken today of the fun. I had many more but I am not up to compiling and resizing any more.

Wow! Looks like all the dawgs had a crazy amount of fun. In some pics its hard to tell how many and what leg belongs to which dog 'cause their so tangled up in play! They must of all just collapsed and slept after that session! So glad to see Timmy having so much fun that he can't possibly miss his mommy and daddy but they miss him terribly! Give our boy some hugs and kisses from us please!

The pictures are great. I could add some interesting captions to some of them. So cute.

The action shots were great. The dogs looked like they were having so
much fun. I think they enjoyed having you back in the mix again.

They really do look like they were having a grand old time in these photos and you were right about Scruffy's facial expressions! The wonderful thing is that even when times are sad for the humans, the canines are so full of joy and playfulness that you can't help but smile and laugh. It's really the best medicine ever :)

The dogs had a blast and are at it again.

Lori: There is this photo of Scruffy with Roxie in front of him. I swear he is saying so am I chop meat or something? He remains so very fond of her - so funny.

yes, I know the one....she looks like she is strutting right past him without giving him a second glance and he has a look as if to say "hey, aren't you going to say hello?"

Whose the one with the white ruff, dark head and darkish creamy gpld body?
Love the colouring.
I wish my Hav would play like yours!

Love these pictures! They look like they are having so much fun. Cooper is looking forward to joining the crew next week for his little stay over. Glad you were able to get out with the dogs. I'm sure it did your heart good!
