Can We Go Outside?

The crew here doesn't use jackets or sweaters. They go out. If cold they go inside. They go in and out so much that its crazy. Ten to 20 times is common. What can I say - they love to have fun.

Here is the gallery.

We have had a total blast today. We are still playing recovery from sleep deprivation but we are making headway till Raven. 

We have some real play monkeys here.

Harper and Rocky are departing. Will be missed!

In among all the playing and grooming we have Dennis cleaning. He uses a blue light to find any offending spots in case. Sounds obsessive? We had a family that came here not too long ago saying our house didn't smell like x breeder. Well, I guess I have Dennis and they don't and well I like a sterilized house. Sure it can get cluttered but clean is important. It's why we have a high pressure steamer and we use a product that breaks down everything. Obsession is a good thing. If we have a visitor have an accident and its cleaned right they won't offend again plus we take them outside so much that the odds are they will get in a habit to go outside. 

I tell you this in case you are having an area offended. Buy a blue light and no Dennis is not up for hire - I think. LOL Training happens as you get obsessed at first and then it becomes a habit. 

Soon TV time cuddles and weighing Stormy pups.

Darlah,I love you have a clean home, very clean. I too noticed on my first visit how wonderfully fresh it smelled. It told me a bit about what good breeders you are. Then, I found out the hundreds of other things you do. Thank you for keeping up your high standards. What is a blue light?

We can relate, we too are obsessed about having a clean home. Anyone could eat off our floors. Russell gets first prize for vacuuming and cleaning floors. I'm the same but I focus on kitchen counter tops, bathrooms, etc. Having dogs is no different for us, we spend the same amount of time cleaning our house. Once in a while though, when I cook, I will find the odd "hair' in the food....could it be mine or Cooper's, or Spicy's....it happens, rarely, but it's all good as far as I'm concerned. OK, back to the cold weather, it's very cold in Montreal...paws were lifting so we put those comfie socks on their paws so they can do their business in comfort....it's all good. Hope you all get a good night sleep and hopefully Raven will wait until tomorrow :-)

Angela: I just linked it. Do not buy it. You THINK you have a clean house till you use this in the dark. LOL Dennis does this EVERY single day throughout the house and on everything.

Anne: Well with my grooming I get more than the odd hair.

Can I see blue lights in Christmas stockings? LOL

Wow. Now I am worried. Should I get a blue light or will I be shocked and embarrassed. I thought my house was clean but I don't have a blue light. I do have the odd hair and no one likes that. Darlah what is the product you use? Hmmm I need a Dennis. Good luck tonight.
