Getting Ready & Maxine's Visit

Stella is getting ready for the holiday season stylin like only she can.

Adele was practicing chillin' as its so important that she does before training. We already have our training done this morning. It was fun and it was productive. Without getting her to chill first it wouldn't be.

Then after training Bailey and Adele went at it playing their hearts out. Bailey departs tonight along with a few others. We get a quiet night and then Gidget and Oreo come. Such fun!

Kat and Marlee was playing in a big way today. Marlee surely needs a bath in a big way but we are making sure its just before pickup as it will be interesting otherwise.

Logan and Kat was also caught playing.

When Kat gets the whole crew playing its something else. He truly can be a catalyst for exciting play.

He always starts with running like crazy.

They follow suit and the fun begins.

Then he stops playing and they all stop as if to say - now what? This happens over and over on a variety of days. Its interesting to watch.

Its wet today. Marlee, Jazmyn and Maxine will get baths. I have exercised (day 7 down 6lbs - yeah) and trained, clicked and will soon wash. Then I will groom the rest or maybe just brush cause with rain its sort of self defeating and yesterday everyone had a very thorough grooming. We shall see.

The Maxine had a bath and she had a playdate. It's been too long since we seen her. She was a total play monkey ad we look forward to the next visit.

I am now done grooming and bathing and can I go to sleep? No more for tonight. Jazmyn and Marlee and Bailey will be departing soon. I will eat and then watch tv with the dogs. I think I am all groomed out!

Stella looks very stylish in her sweater. Kat is a very handsome boy with a very "assertive" look in this picture. Great pictures of all the Havs playings their hearts out. Good for you Darlah for working out. You must be starting to feel much better. Keep it up.

Love the sweater did Stella's Mom make it?

Well done Darlah, I need to lose weight and get fit but I have not so far been as successful as you. Keep it up.

Anne: Not feeling better yet. I procrastinated in a big way today including training before I exercised saying but you have so many dogs to wash and that will be enough exercise but I did it anyway. Glad I lost 6lbs but most is water the first week. If I can lose another 6 by the end of December then I will feel good. We shall see. One step at a time. Goal is bathing suit by summer.
