Here's a few photos from today. This was early morning play before brush and combs.
We still have a solid 12 days left for heat for the girls. It's not fun for them or us. I have to talk our son Jon into taking them downstairs so they have their playtime otherwise they are in my office. I hate heats. I feel like I am holding them prisoner. I am giving them chlorophyll pills that someone suggested to minimize the boys reaction. They are still aware but doesn't seem as acute or maybe they are not at peak. I don't know but why does it have to last 3 weeks and why do the boys get freedom vs gals? Well, usually we trade off but with pups I can't have Kat in here and we have a visiting boy so it is what it is.
I feel when it is all over I should take them to the park and let them run their hearts out. They do get outdoors but only with the girls.
Oh well - end of my rant and feeling bad.
Lucy was here playing as you will see in the gallery. The family is on a Spice list so he was the first to see one upclose and personal. I am taking the pups around to allow then to see the rooms, people etc for a bit of conditioning. They don't shake. They just look. Both litters seem to be in awe.
I look outside. We need a new door for the pool house and we have to figure out how to do that. It may be comical. I look at the garden and go oh my so much cleanup but okay its exercise. I may have a heart attack after this spring cleanup and this is the year to reduce my plants.
Snow is gone. We can still get a dusting. I can't wait till pups can get outdoors. We will try week 4 or 5.
Still haven't managed to get my gopro but I am holding on to the $$ like it doesn't exist as I intend on getting it as soon as pups are not so time consuming. I am spending bedtime watching videos on how to use and it gives me ideas of how I want to use then with the pups. I see Rens has a strap I can put on Inula and catch the dog play in action. Now wouldn't that be fun? Oh to have the bug of creativity. One should never lose that. Nathan wanted to go out and buy it for me where I want to actually go out and get it. I want to walk into Henrys and see what my options are such as a macro lens or a polarizer or... It's part of the experience plus I need to get out too.
Dogs are wonderful. They go outside and feel the breeze in their hair and go ah. I like how they enjoy life. We could learn a thing or two from them.

Mostly the dogs want to stay inside but when they go out - oh boy are they a mess. Baths next week. This week just a lot of brushing.
Harpers had a bath when he first arrived but e doesn't look that way now. hahaha He is such a cutie! I am a scallywag so there!
Ella lives sitting on high on the diving board. I wonder if she will swim this year. I surely hope so. I know her Momma Roxie and her half sister Adele will be getting wet.
Goldie and Harper play and play and play. See, you can have fun even when it is raining.
