Terrific Day

We had a truly splendid day. We had pups. We had adults all playing and hanging with each other.

This is Barb's Jazzy. She fell asleep on Nathan.

I think Jazzy was curious what was going on with her housemate, Shelby or maybe it was the silly Nathan. :-)

Get on the floor and they will come...

This is Jazmyn. She loves to chill out and if Nathan is in the recliner, she's draping his head like a scarf.

Missy and Adele have a fondness going on!

Roxie finally had a bath and she needed it. Miss Roxie is looking more and more like Miss Abs these days.

Meet Ms. Marlee. She is a play monkey. Give her a toy and she goes crazy with fun. Yes, Patt both Jazmyn and Marlee are so comfortable that they are taking over. Just teasing but no worries with this duo.

Max, where's your head and where's Roxie's head?

The dogs ran and ran and ran their little hearts out today.

They also had a rip roaring game or 3 of get the sock covered ball.

Missy is so funny. She is finally realizing Max is not all hers when it comes to play. She wanted to play with everyone but Max had to play with just her. She tried bossing. She tried engaging him and he said talk to the paw. Now that she's not bossing him around she is playing in a big way with everyone.

Truffie is starting to get his winter dark. In winter he always goes darker. In summer he fades out.

As you can see Max thinks Roxie is all that and that was the crux of the problem all along with Missy. He's mine you know... heh

We had a wonderful time. Ms. Shelby's Jazzy was attentive with Ms. Shelby and relaxed with the crew. Mr. Levon was his usual play monkey but he always kept his eye on the Trigger guy. The puppy magic seems to be working.

Wow Truffie looks almost black! I'm sure it's only the lighting in the photo that makes him appear that way.

Those are great pictures. So nice to hear that you guys had a great time with the dogs. They sure have a way to make us feel so happy all the time. Nathan is in his element as usual.....love it. Funny you mention the "sock covered ball", today I replaced the sock which was getting quite chewed up but those make for such great toys.

Went to look at him. He is indeed getting darker. He is indeed brown. :-) Far from black but darker brown. It may be due to my thinning him out and now I am seeing more of the underneath. I thin him out from time to time. If I didn't he would have so much hair.

Anne: True. They love the sock covered balls in a big way and its cheap. I always have unmatched socks. Lately thats all I have. <sigh> Nathan bought me socks and they are mens socks. Funny, eh? I guess he bought himself socks. Me, I am down to 2 pair.

He was so in love with the dogs today.

Ms Marlee looks like a stuffed toy. Haven't heard her name before. Is she one of yours. I just love the way she looks

Susan: Marlee and Jazmyn are not mine but I sure do love them!

Love seeing my girls looking so happy and content. Jazmyn having some special time with Nathan and Marlee all business with play. Warms my heart

Patt: Your girls are terrific. They are such a delight. Hope you are really enjoying your holiday this time!

November 8, 2013 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Thanks, Darlah. I think they're pretty special too. And their personalities are as different from each other as night and day. Too funny! Having a great time and have been crazy busy. I know jazmyn and Marlee are having a great time too. I love that!

They are polar opposites much like Cali and Adele are, Patt. They are each having a great time and Jazmyn is playing though she loves tv time. From young to old they like TV time - funny.

I am so glad you are enjoying yourself Patt and that you can enjoy yourself is a bonus this holiday!
