Oh My

Here is Cali all messy. She gets a bath on Wednesday for her Total Recall Class. Anything before then would be fruitless. What can I say. I brush her out and 2 seconds later she looks crazy messy like I never take a comb to her. As you can see Brewer from Spice's first litter has that same look. It's why I brush him 5 minutes before he departs.

Look at Brewer - always a happy boy and then look at Cali's face. Usually she is happy but maybe she is reading this blog. hahahaha

Nathan is sick. Dennis is sick and I just pulled up my boot straps so to speak and did a lot so no photos - sorry. We are still having fun. We always manage that despite weather, illness etc.

Leti had her 3rd set of shots and has been sluggish all day. That's not her norm so we are watching her. Sometimes shots do this. Leti is 6lb 3 oz. Cali was 6 lbs when she had her 3rd shot. Interesting. Leti has started growing like a weed. She starts her classes next week.

I made some dehydrated hearts and some of them crystalized. Now that was interesting. The dogs loved them that way but they turned into this crystalized dust.

Trigger has been bugging Leti today to play. Cali pounces on him to say what about me. Levon finds a partner in crime with Brewer. Those two can get the crowd going like none other. It's a riot. They depart tomorrow - sniff and I hear Trigger is going to get his first haircut soon - photos when it happens please!

Holly and Missy find the pups fascinating. It was interesting to watch the interaction. Neither wanted outside for any length of time but neither did the rest. Its too cold and they say -35 tonight - ouch.

Coco and Doozie will be visiting on Wednesday - oh my such fun!

But can it warm up please and can the guys here get well? Nathan is now on the couch hugging ooops hogging the dogs - depending on the perspective. :-)

Little Leti does not look like her usual happy, energetic self. I hope she feels better to-morrow. I always worry about adverse reactions to vaccinations.

Nathan & Dennis get better soon.

Levon and Brewer seem to have similar personalities. Happy-go-lucky.

Can't wait to see them - my house just isn't the same without them. I really hope my car starts tomorrow! The windchill is a little scary! Can it be spring yet?

Kathy: She is pretty much back to normal today but no fever, no lump just very lethargic yesterday. Not even sore. As Shoshi has had an almost deadly reaction to Lepto when she was a young thing I am so acutely aware and I watch. Never gave lepto to anyone after that and most hav breeders suggest that and as she has had localized reactions when she got her booster she never got anything after that. She's never been sick a day in her life. She's healthy, healthy other than vaccination related reactions. I am becoming aware that some of my gals and even Kat is getting older. <sigh> Kat's middle aged. Risa and Wasabi are aging. :-( You can't tell how they act but a dear friend just lost her 13.5 year old.

Glad to hear Leti is doing well. Kizmet once had a reaction to her shots, got a big lump, but only the one time. I hear what you say about the 'aging' process.. Cali will be 10 this year and I am noticing that she is slowing down a litle bit. She still plays but for shorter periods of time, and after long walks she sleeps soundly when we get home.. Tre on the other hand thinks its just a warm up and is ready to play...

Wasabi is like that, Gerda. Risa and Shoshi still bounce around like pups. But Wasabi has always been a more sedate dog unless there is a squirrel or rabbit to chase. That will wake her up every time. Wasabi is a give you a kiss if you insist type. Her daughter Spice is a kissy face. So funny. Wish they lasted at least twice as long as they do. :-(
