Wet and Dirty

No gallery today. The dogs are getting muddy and wet. I almost want to give up it is so bad and it is supposed to be this way all week. 

Pippin has departed. Thanks you truly for Purdy's cherry cordials. I haven't had them in eons. So genuinely lucky to have them in our lives.

We went to get Starter Mousse as dogs like Harlow need the softness and the way she likes it makes it desirable. She doesn't do great with hard kibble these days. Warning, if you get some, cans have reduced half in size and are now up to 4.35 a can twice a day. It used to be just months ago 3.00 a can and twice the size. Raising prices have begun. Getting crazy. We are down to our last bag of kibble so we will see what has happened with prices. If this keeps going, we may have to raise boarding fees. We are trying not to even though we are cheaper than everyone.

It is damp cold outside. Dennis is doing crazy games with the dogs inside as he totally believes they need fun - me too. We do this everytime the weather is bad. We work their minds and body. Nathan does his part snuggling at tv time.

Hope all of you are staying dry and warm.

Brrr, you said it! We had to put on the furnace last night, house had gone down to 17C and just not comfortable.
I did see a price increase months back, a few dollars on the 4,5lb bags of Fromms but this might be a next round of increases. We tried the larger bags 1 time but neither would eat it, strange, so we buy the smaller bags just incase they are turned off of eating it. We might try the senior blends in the summer.

Thank you for taking such good care of Pippin. I know he had a terrific time at Talemaker. I always love seeing the photos you post when we are away. Enjoy the chocolates!
