Ok I Lied

Well not really lied but it's a bit mushy outside so photo taking took a back seat. Hope this is enough photos in today's gallery. 

Scruffy and Pepper are here visiting and its a delight. They fell right into playing. No one likes the wet feet syndrome out back. I thought of taking a wet and vac and sucking up the melt but the thought of hauling it to the street every few minutes, that thought soon became a fantasy. 

I groomed Logan and Panda before departure and the phone rang so Logan's treat was not forthcoming. He jumped on me, barked at me and then I realized he didn't get his treat. Gave it to him and he calmed down. I guess he told me and rightly so!

Adele and River are now at the daughter and boyfriend's house. They are still renovating. We are adjusting and perhaps these weekends away gets us to adjust as well. They are still adjusting to the shepherd but they have a gate closing off the familyroom where the girls (adele and River) can fit through a mini door and the shepherd can't get past. So, they have their safe zone. I got to watch the interaction. It's getting better. Just like I described with Jeannie, I too am trying to make that break. It's a process.

We at Talemaker are hoping that Murphy's mom has an easy move with all this muck. Exciting times coming.

Thinking about Murphy's mom and her move. It is a very stressful time. Counting down the days until you are resettled with your Murphy will take time, but it will begin to feel like home sooner than you think.. Good luck.

Dallas and Emmy are very cute pups. They each have their own look.

Good luck to your daughter her children Sarah and Danielle and the two Havs. Adele and her daughter River. Changes always take time to accept.

I'm also thinking about Murphy's mom and the move. Been there. Change is not always easy and can be stressful. No doubt that Murphy will settle in nicely. It may take a few days but it will all come together. Same for Tracy and her daughters, and of course Adele and River. Hoping all goes well for all of you. Hugs to all!

I am catching up. Amazing what you miss in a day or two. Katie is a beautiy. Happy birthday to Katie and Odin. Darlah tell me more about the spray for their teeth I assume, and how do you use an electric brush?? Beautiful galleries.

There is a white pup in a couple of shots in today's gallery that looks like Katie! Is that Frannie?

Love the photo (#6) of the two playing. I think I recognize Spicy in #3? Beautiful!

February 18, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAnne and Cooper
