Never Thought

Never thought I would see the day when someone else tuckers Cooper out but Charlie did just that.

Cooper jumped on the bench and said I have had enough for NOW.

I knew they would click and when Zack gets here it will be Zack and Logan joining in.

Dennis has been busy having fun trying out commands on Coco and Doozie. It's a riot. He's so good with the dogs and they love him so.

Me, I am in pain. I wasn't so bad this morning but two tylenol 3s and I can walk but sit and climb over or get up from a sit - yeouch. Hoping tomorrow is better so althugh I washed Kat (Nathan brushed the rest) as Flora is coming to get bred, standing for that length of time was not a good thing. He feels so wonderful though. At least he is squeaky clean for the deed. :-) Yvonne should arrive anytime. :-)

Kat's a lucky guy. :-) He sort of gets it but says where's the gal?

Russell: I didn't think anyone but Teaser herself could do that but he has met his match and then some. hahahaha Now he has the Zack so he will be tired. Pouring rain here so no one wants to go out and do their business. sigh...

Darlah - I think all this dry weather has spoiled our dogs! Laci did not want to do #2 in the rain and kept insisting to come in. Think a little rain now and then keeps them more resilient. Anyway, she finally did the trick.
How did the ones that hate the storms do last night? I worked hard on pretending to be asleep thru all the noise, but am tired today! Laci kept popping her head up, but it never went farther than that. Being careful not to have another fretfull dog during storms having had one w/ my first.

No one was frightened but the loud bangs kept them up and thinking it was time to play. I got very little sleep last night. I finally closed the curtains. Plus we have a gal in heat here, a daughter of Wasabi's brother who is getting bred to Kat. Kat's happy but she wanted to bother him all night long and he started growling at her to leave him alone. He wanted to sleep up against me. If it wasn't for the lack of sleep it was comedy hours last night here. Today he is an attentive soul saying can I?

Earth to Kat you have to not be grumpy even at bedtime if you want the gals to love you. Silly boy!

That's funny! I too got up and closed the blinds tigher so block out the "flashes" of lightening. I expected Laci to be tired today since it appeared she was awake as often as I was, but she seems to want to play more than ever. Oh . . . . guess she has youth on her side! :-)

Sounds like Kat is a party animal! LOL

Darlah, I slipped on ice one winter, landed on my back and my head bounced very lightly on the ice. I felt fine when I got up but was a little (just very little) dizzy a couple hours later and was feeling sleepy for a few days. There was no pain but just felt like having a flu and my head was very heavy and I have to sit or lie down to rest and could not carry out everyday tasks. Just by chance when I brought my daughter for some neuromuscular massage therapy (she had some injury and needed regular therapies), I asked for a massage on my neck and shoulder area. The heavy headed problem was solved - I feel like 'myself' again. Maybe you could try.....?

Jenny: Good idea - now who has time. :-) I need a massage therapist living here. Are you coming to the picnic this year?

Debi: I think its FLORA that is the party animal. She is after him and after him and he wants to sleep. He knows 12 hours apart - hahaha She says let's have fun. Just one more night and she goes home Friday night. Kat will them be in a bad mood for a day and then out of sight, out of mind. :-)

Darlah/Jenny: If Doug wins the lottery, the 1st thing I'd do is hire a personal massage therapist! She'd be a live in and travel w/ me on our trips abroad. LOL

Kat sounds like a true man - out of sight - out of mind! As for Flora - what a hussy she is. hahaha

July 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterDebi

Her mother was Kat's first and she takes after her mom. She is indeed a hussy.

July 26, 2012 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Darlah, I wish I lived in you area and would be able to join the picnic, but I live in Vancouver. I always admire those 'parents' they could have you and your crew taking care of their loved ones when they go on vacation.

July 26, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterjenny

Darlah, I think Nathan should give you a really nice massage.....that's what hubbies are for :-)

July 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Lori - Those massages can be dangerous - LOL!
