Hmm Nice Weather But

Real small gallery.

Not sure what happened. It must be Dennis enjoying that great weather but he hardly took many photos and didn't even get everyone. Hmmm what happened? He will have to play catch up tomorrow cause thsi is when I have tine for a blog.

The dogs played hard and they had leaves and debris all in their coats as I was busy combing and pulling it all out. 

Ms Nora and Ellie departed. A number arrived. It has been a very busy day but an enjoyable one.

I need to exercise and shower. So off I go or I will never do it. LOL

Rain and Then No Rain Then Rain

Here is a gallery.

It rained. It didn't then it rained again but we had enough breaks to get the dogs outside. 

Harlow was outdoors investigating with her new friends. Harlow so loves to eat in a huge way. Elvis and Meadow was doing the investigating thing. Is there a squirrel close by?

Dennis ran with the crew today and then he is napping. LOL I guess it is strenuous play but they love it so! Some dogs participated and some watched. 

For some strange reason the dogs woke me up half the night so I am a tad tired. 

But they are full of life today. Go figure. 

It was a good day!

Warmish Day

Here is a mini gallery. More will be added later. Dennis still needs to take photos.

We have Harlow's dad coming for a visit. I have exercise to do so I will add photos to the gallery in a bit.

We also have dogs coming still  so it is a busy house today. It will be an exciting one.

Dennis watch can't be fixed today. They need to send it out and it will take 5 to 7 working days to either get a replacement or get it repaired. So much for that. That is a long time without a watch you depend on. Oh well... We do have Apple Care thankfully. I do have a box in my front hall with my replacement printer and I have to box up the old one and bring it to fed ex tomorrow. Let's hope the new one works.

We have so many squirrels that the dogs are fascinated with. Birds are out in droves too. End of season activity?

More later...

Playing Outdoors

Here is the gallery.

One would think he fell down but no he was rubbing himself on the pool cover. Many many of them do this. It's like a built in massage experience.

The dogs seem to enjoy this weather.

They run. They play. They go absolutely crazy movement fun. It is nice to watch. They also are fascinated with the activity out back!

Two Blog Day: See the Happy Birthday!

Here is a mini gallery.

Tonight is a groom marathon. Every couple of days I do them. Today is it. 

Our turkey is gone. Everyone feasted and my replacement printer is coming Thursday. Dennis watch is broken so off to the Apple store he goes Thursday too. We do have Apple Care. Sometimes those warranties work. 

Dogs have played. Harlow's daddy comes Thursday and is she going to be excited. He brings her a cheeseburger which she devours. I so enjoy their visit as she lights up around him and that makes me feel ever so good. We may be her 2nd home but he is home.

It is going to be a good week. 

Nathan is living on tylenol 1s or 3s. Says it is not helping much but going to try heat tonight.

Tomorrow a puppy goes home of Nami's. See his bath photos in her blog. 

Be sure to scroll down and see a happy 6th!

Happy 6th

Happy 6th birthday to my favourite girl, Bailey. Love you so much. So grateful to have you always by my side. Love snuggling with you, playing with you, going on hikes with you, and introducing you to all my friends. On one hand I feel like I've always had you there with me. On another I feel that the time has flown by in a really crazy way. How are you 6 today!? You are truly my soul dog and I love you so much. Thinking of Nathan, Darlah, Dennis, Leti, Stone, Abby, Benny, Benji, Coco, and Tempie and wishing them all a wonderful day too. Love from Bailey's family: Pippa, Liz and Judy

We love you too, Bailey!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Here i s a mini gallery.

I am doing mini updates as I am sorely behind. We have pups departing in a couple of days and need to get things completed and I got a ways to go. The 1st pup and 2nd pup is completed but not the rest so I may be short blogging for a bit. Hopefully not.

We had a number of visitors for the day yesterday and today for Thanksgiving. Our turkey is gone - finished and it was a 25lb turkey but hey we shared with the dogs and puppies. What can we say but they loved it and I loved that they loved it!

I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Nathan has a serious hip issue. I think he needs to have it checked. He has an appointment next week. Today he is barely walking - joy. It also means I have to do all that he does as well. We will figure it out.

The dogs chased squirrels today. Usually they don't but they couldn't help themselves. It is okay. It was all in fun.

Thanksgiving Weekend Sunday

Here is the gallery.

This is how we spend most days when it is not raining but this is Thanksgiving weekend so we have a few day visitors while people celebrate with families. It is such a fun house today and leftover turkey was had - yum for the dawgs!

We ran, played and simply had fun.

May all of you have a sensational holiday weekend!

Some Days

Here is the gallery.

There are just some days that you fall behind and this was one of them.

I am busy getting puppy packs together. I cooked a turkey and thought I blew it but didn't. It was cooked perfectly. I was juggling groomings and well the dogs feasted and this was Brewer after his feast. That is what I wish I could do - eat and nap. Even the older pups feasted and they made it disappear in a minute ot two. 

Nathan went to pick up the dog food we ordered and Fromms sent it to the wrong store and our store didn't have enough to sell us so tomorrow he has to go 30 minutes up north to get them. We always order from the same store and this time they had someone new so they sent it to the wrong place. He can take a couple of dogs and go buy them. He likes to shop. So laughing!

I did manage to get quite a few combed out today.

I only did a minor amount of exercise and said that is okay. Lord knows I am skinny enough. Maybe I will do a bit more tomorrow to make up from gorging on turkey and pumpkin pie.

Magic's mom brought over a pumpkin pie as a thank you for grooming Magic.

The dogs and us despite being busy really enjoyed the day. Good food is always a welcomed event.

Harlow - well she wanted 2nds and 3rds. That gal loves to eat. River was the same - yum turkey yum!

Busy Times

Here is a mini gallery.

This blog will be short as it is 730pm and I need to brush dogs. It has been a very busy day.

Tomorrow we are going to cook our turkey. It means I need to start at 7am to get it ready before Nathan takes a nap. LOL. It also means the dogs will have a feast at lunch time too. 

Our weekend will consist of leftovers but I need Nathan to go get some bread and mayo as I like stuffing and turkey sandwiches. 

Tomorrow I am taking the day off from grooming as I have a hand that hurts from dematting. I will see what I get done tonight. 

The dogs and us are looking forward to a great meal. Hope you enjoy yours this Thanksgiving. I know we are early but as they say - better early than late. LOL

Out on a Cool Day

Here is a mini gallery.

I had Harlow freshly combed out and she went outside, rolled and made her face a total mess but that is why we love her.

Dogs were enjoying the fresh air. Harlow was back looking for rabbits and squirrels - which seems to be a passion for her. She gets everyone interested in the game.

I am busy getting my orchids in before they die. Frost tonight. All I want to do is take a nap but I can't. 

Out Between Rain

Here is a mini gallery.

Don't have much to say. We have been busy. Dogs did get outside whenever it stopped raining. 

The dogs played and had a blast but mostly indoors. It was simply too wet and dirty out there that they would track mud all over much to the frustration of Dennis that mops the floors. It was one of THOSE days. But we survived. 

The Rat Pack

Here is a mini gallery.

Have to brush everyone out tomorrow. Today was a much and play till you look a chaotic mess day and the leaves are seeds and what have you is getting caught in the coat but tomorrow that comb comes out. LOL

They say rain tomorrow. Today was absolutely wonderful weather wise. I was hoping it would last but if it rains, we will have indoor play. Oh well.

We did get a turkey - not as large as I wanted but good enough. We are not having company over this year. The grand daughter is in Japan. Another one is moving back to the city. The daughter is looking for a new place to live. The boys have plans so it is just Nathan, me and Dennis and of course a feast for the dogs. Which day will we make it? When it thaws and that's our Thanksgiving day this year. It is now frozen thawing in the fridge. I am looking forward to eating but not cooking or cleaning. Isn't that always the way?

All I can say is YUM!!!

Splendid Afternoon

Here is a mini gallery.

It was rather warm today. I say what a wonderful way to end the week. I sat outside and hung out with the dogs and soaked in some rays. I am not sure how I got so lucky to enjoy part of this day without going crazy busy and best of all snuggles from the dogs. I know the cold weather is going to come but it can wait, imho. 

Tomorrow hopefully we will have the 3 picks from people with everyone and figure it all out. 

The dogs so enjoyed this weather and was truly excited that I was out there with them. It has been a bust of a summer for me relaxing. It was mega busy so I take any day even a partial day as a gift.

Fun Outside

Here is the gallery.

We have a short blog today but we had puppy visits and still we managed to give the dogs a pretty fun time.  As you can see Maki smiling from ear to ear.

They played indoors, outdoors and it was perfect weather to do so. 

Maki, Malla and Bailey depart tonight. They bring great things to the mix.

Outside Sunshine

Here is the mini gallery.

Dogs had fun enjoying the sunshine. We do have a few visitors and the weather is cooperating.

Dennis ran with them today after sleeping in today. He is exhausted - us too. We may go to bed at 9pm vs 10. LOL

It has been a good day!!

Busy Times

Here is a mini gallery.

Not many visitors at this time. It was a busy day due to the vets. So, a chunk of time was delegated to that. 

It is cooler out today. The rabbit keeps showing up. No one is chasing it but they are curious.

Tonight I have to test equipment for things I send home. Tonight is the back of the sherpa bag tags I will test. The name and the phone # will come when they arrive - after puppy selection. 

Think we are going to watch a 1 hour show and spend time  snuggling dogs.

Visit

Here is the gallery.

We have a rabbit that sits around with the dogs. Hallie tries to chase it but everyone else just looks with curiousity. I am surprised it is still here but it is. We haven't seem the baby squirrel since mom took it away.

Dogs hung outside with Nathan and Dennis on this coolish day. It is supposed to get warmer later on in the week.

Going to be a busy day tomorrow as we have a puppy vet visit 1st thing. 

Busy times but fun times.

Warm Day Outdoors

Here is a mini gallery.

Dennis said something was wrong with the camera. He clicked a lot of photos but not many were on the memory stick. hmmm

Well they did enjoy Dennis and outdoors.

Not an event filled day but more of a relaxing one.

Warm End of Month

Here is the mini gallery.

It's such an incredibly warm day. I need to sit outside but who has time - Dennis and the dogs. LOL I am happy for him. 

They lazed around and enjoyed - the whole lot of them. It is a quiet house with boarders, at this time so lazing is possible for some. We all need that!
