Toby, a Teaser Pup

Whenever someone comes to visit we do a slow introduction to everyone. It makes for a better experience and it helps the crew mesh.

Toby seems to be rather smitten with Abigail. Dennis said Abigail must be the attractive one to other dogs as every dog seems to react that way to her. I laughed. Interesting theory. 

Toby has already had his dinner and he ate it all up without issue.

He seems to be fitting in rather well.

He was checking out Dennis cooking hamburgers and I swear he sat there waiting to see if some was meant for him.

He's playing with Roxie quite a bit now though she was a tad too aggressive in the 'let's play with me' department till he gave in.

He was also sniffing up Treasure but Treasure was doing her usual, I want the air conditioning, mom don't ya know.

It's not that Treasure didn't like him, she likes the air better and likes to be the center of attention. She wasn't, in this case.

Nathan is away at a seminar for the day till 3ish. The pool guys come after he leaves around 8amish. Nathan is going to love this seminar and I am glad he is going.

Kendra, our youngest daughter, her new boyfriend and her 2 kids (our grandkids) is driving from North Carolina now as I type and arriving at our oldest daughters house to crash and then heads up here tomorrow night after Nathan gets home for dinner.

I still have 3 dogs to wash, 1 tonight, maybe 2 tomorrow. Will it get done? We shall see. It's not necessary but I do like clean dogs.

Then Toby gets a spa treatment on Sunday before he heads home. Jazzy comes to visit on Saturday. We are going to have a truly fun weekend.

Now here is hoping the pool gets done on a timely basis.

Toby looks a lot like Teaser, especially with his short cut.
He's a cutie!
Have fun with the family Darlah.....too bad the pool isn't ready :(

I know but the family is here all week. They leave a week from Sunday. Friday to Sunday is extra busy so no pool time then. When it is on may have to run the heater all night long and dig out the solar blanket. Don't usually do solar blankets due to the dogs but could put it on last thing at night and remove first thing in the morning. We shall see.

Toby does look like Teaser. I think they go to Paula's place for grooming. He does like the gals. He's a big boy and has Dennis' number. hehe

Well so much for 8am from the pool guys (still not here) but it appears the daughter has arrived at the oldest daughters house and all ready to take a snooze (quieter there than here) and then they will head up.

Pool or not, I bet you'll have a great time! At least the weather is cooperating.
