The Look!Tomorrow Adele gets to spend sometime with her brother. How cool is that? It will be laughing time for sure for all!
I am finally feeling better but Nathan has a serious neck issue which he refuses to get checked. It started when he went to the funeral and it has only got worse. I say to him you must move it to the point that it hurts just to gain mobility. You can't hold it in place but I get that he is. I think it is stress induced. This loss has been difficult to say the least. We really are missing a dear loved one. Sorry to use this as a venting - I know its about the dogs but we are about the dogs too. They are our lives and so are our families. Without them we would not be who we are.
We get our grandkids on Wednesday as our daughter goes into Ottawa for shiva (mourning for one week) and our one grand daughter can't miss her Bat Mitzvah lessons (she is going daily - thank you Rabbi) as she is playing catch-up due to hospital stays. This last month has been terrible. She is now off the Remicade due to serious side effects (breathing difficulties, rashes - side effects) and is on another drug. This one will take 6 weeks to work but her bat mitzvah is in 4 weeks. It's always something.
As I was sick and I was truly sick I got behind in grooming - never on visitors - just my own. Nathan said he would help and I suppose he did or it would be worse but wow I am playing catch-up today and it isn't pretty. I am working in-between feedings. Dennis is sleeping. I have 3/4 done. I am thorough so I take my time and not just say I do only getting the top coat. I use a comb on all. So time consuming it is.
It's also pouring so what I get done looks interesting 5 minutes later.
I did manage to take a slew of photos BEFORE grooming so you can see what my dogs looks like before I get to work. I brush the dogs before I groom me but to me they count more. That sounds silly but anything that brings me so much joy deserves my work I say.
So when you are looking at yours going oh my they look absolutely atrocious, smile as it happens here too. It's not often but it does. But I am a crazy dawg person and that's all I will say on the subject.
Truffie has been combed since, Roxie not yet. hehe
Dusty has been groomed and gad I love her silky shiny hair. Much to Adele's irritation she was groomed too and so was Benji but Benji decided to go under the deck and well he needs a bath and that's all I can say. I love his personality. He has such spirit but boy he reminds me of Wasabi - not his mom Fiona. hahahaha Fiona is such a princess and Wasabi likes to muck it up, crawl, get dirty and pounce on this or that. That's Benji and I swear he smiles when he comes looking at you as if he just climbed into the dirtiest hole he could find.
This was Benji before this mornings grooming and before he crawled under the deck. I love him anyway. All I can say is I am glad we are getting a new washer tomorrow as its been hell without one and I am almost out of towels and baby blankets for pups.
Abigail continues to play with Adele as if she is a wee pup. I will tell you Adele has a mischievous soul. She is a happy go lucky, let's create trouble soul. She doesn't back down from the bigger dogs being a tad boisterous. She keeps on going till she thinks she has won. Sounds like Jeannie, doesn't it!
We have been blessed to have Brewer join us this month just for the day. His last day is Wednesday and we and the others will miss that fun spirit. Oh Spice you make such wonderful pups.
Brewer is having a blast with Benji. See Irma Benji's haircut and its highly managable and curly and I think it looks great on him. They have the same hair.
This is Sadie and Lola. They both are really mucking it up with the crew and it is nice to see!
This is Brewer and Roxie. Brewer is saying I win! They go back and forth over this winning business.
Lola and Truffie are exceptionally playful with each other.
I have more photos but to be honest I must get back to grooming. We are having a blast. I am too and I am thankful that I feel well enough to play catch-up and enjoy the dogs. They are what makes my heart skip a beat. The hubby and the family does too. :-) I love them for sure!
