Faces of Rain and Treats: Another Gallery Added

It's important to get exercise to expel energy even when it is pouring. Last night the rain was sideways so we couldn't even go out under the gazebos. It was that bad. They say rain all week till Sunday. The dogs used pads and we cleaned pads all day into the night. We tried to get them out this morning. Some said - are you crazy and used the pads and some went out. 

Here is the gallery - the faces of rain.

They still play. Dennis does a couple of runs upstairs and opens all the rooms so they can run from room to room after him. They love it and I mean love it. Not a dog that doesn't participate. 

There are a few females, like Spicy that wants to be with the girls in heat. We make sure she does the runs, gets combed out, teeth brushed and all. We also makes sure she gets into the mix despite her desire to laze with the girls and play girl games. She thinks Ajax is an irritating thing as he won't take no for an answer when it comes to play. Today she finally gave in. Shlomo finds him fun, fun, fun. After all he is a Stormy pup and Stormy doesn't take no for an answer either. lol

Cooper's having his hair thinned out and thinks brush me out, thin me out - whatever just give me the treat. Hmm Stella is like that too. I will do whatever just treat me. They are simply treat motivated as some are.

Harlow has decided she really prefers the pads though this morning I made sure she went out. She was back at the door in a split second.

Murphy and Tenshi try to hide in the crates at this time as really - you want me to get this hair soaked - seriously?

They are all different and we embrace their differences.

We had a very loud storm last night. Only Noah was afraid - Zoe was not and we just spent a lot of time distracting him. We used loud white noise in the bedroom and he was fine.  

Chloe is in love with Dennis. As Jon was out last night, Dennis got the girls in heat plus Chloe as Chloe wants to sleep with him no matter what. She adores him. She is having a great time. 

Ziggy and Ajax, play, play play, I could go on but everyone is having fun and Ella's Charlie is visiting us for the day - bath, play and play. 

Sun is finally shining after lots of wetness. So, we clicked from rain to sun. Here is the gallery. 2 in one dau - don't get used to it. LOL

I have to laugh when I read about Spicy....she certainly gets her way more often than not....why not, she is a princess after all :-) No doubt Cooper doesn't mind spending time getting his hair thinned out.....it's rewarding in the end. Miss them both and love them to pieces. I bet Stella will be happy to see her mommy tomorrow. Love to see all the dogs in the gallery, such a variety of coats, colours and sizes.

What is the name of the cute little white pup in the first photo?

In the first gallery? That is Ajax - a Stormy puppy. He's a riot. He insists on playing with all!

Yes, Spicy is a true princess! Cooper is a regular guy. LOL

Thank you for all the update and pictures of Tenshi. We already miss her dearly. We went to a hike on an island and there were a few dogs doing the walk as well. Some restaurants and cafe would let us bring the dogs in. I wish Tenshi was there with us.

Sylvia: I get that. I wish I was in Japan. I heard they have fascinating dog items. Vending machines with odd things. Our son used to be based there.

Tenshi is wonderful but you know that. It was sunny today so she was sunning on the deck with Spicy, Saffron and Ajax. I bet they were thinking.... hope the sun comes back tomorrow! This rain has been something else.
