Just Some Fun

Jesse and Murphy is now home and I bet you they are sleeping up a storm due to all the play they already had here. We will miss them. But its quiet here at the moment.

Daisy runs to me each day to get her brush out. This is new. Its not the brush out but the treat. I just know it. Okay she also loves to lay in my lap and get snuggled at tv time.

The gals are running like the wind.

 So, I hear tell this week I am going to have a brother visit me. I thought these crazy people hid them in the xpens but I can't find them. Here I am making sure they were not here.

Not many photos today.

Today's Play

These are all Dennis' and Nathan's photos. I was bathing pups and dogs. Plus dealing with a computer malware issue - still dealing with it.We had Bella and Bailey for a couple of hours but all the photos were blurry - sigh.

As you can see Ella is playing with the smaller and bigger guys.

Jesse takes over my recliner - well its Nathan's recliner. It used to be mine. I had it in my office but the xpens went up and the recliner went to the tv room never to come back. Funny how that happened. One day I will get my own and demand it remains. Jesse loves it - me too - love a big roomy recliner. Jesse and Murphy depart tomorrow. They will be missed.

Ozzie and Panda...

Ozzie and Inula played a ton. Daisy enjoyed Truffie today. Tomorrow we get to see Goldie. Going to be a full day tomorrow.

Just a Few Photos

Got all the dogs brushed and combed out before we went to the vet today but these are photos before I brushed out. Then we had visitors and then off to the vet.

Murphy and Jeannie are becoming great pals.

Ozzie is Panda's pup from her first litter.

It seems the Panda still recognizes him and he recognizes her. They are getting along quite well!

So Cold

Dear Scruffy laid in my lap, watched tv and cuddled with me and now he needs a good brush out. Boy does he after the play we have done.

Howling for fun!

Just some fun... now got to groom.

Tidbits

He is back home chillin' and we already miss Mr. Teddy. We truly do. He was one that wasn't quite sure of Jesse and then adapted. It was good exposure in a positive way.

This was AFTER I brushed her. I am serious. Its not that I do a bad job but she can't help making sure she is a mess. I did brush her again but please.

It was a tad windy today and brr cold again.

Daisy plays this game where she nips in Spice's neck and then they play and play and play. Its an interesting way to attempt play. Spice doesn't seem to mind.

Jesse I believe is having the time of his life. He is always smiling.

Murphy has decided that Jeannie is his gal. All day long they played and played today! Brewer decided Adele is still his gal!

Early Morning Play

Plus I got these from Shannon:

One is Levon using Trigger as a pillow (awww) and another is Trigger watching Dogs with Jobs. He only watches tv when a dog is on and then he watches it very intently. Lol.

(The plastic in the background is containing the dust from our fireplace reno.)

More later if I get to it. :-)

Just a Few Photos

Just a few photos. Will start clicking more starting tomorrow. Dawgs are doing really well playing hard. We even had to force them to have a time out so they could rest. It must be the cooler weather as it really got them playing. They ran and ran and ran. Now they are having self imposed tv time.

Dogs do need rest too.

Its cold outside and the dogs like it. At least there's no mud.

Just a Crazy Day

Penny has now gone home. We miss her already. This photo is priceless as Jeannie was yapping away at Daisy and she said talk to the paw. It drove Jeannie crazy!

Jesse and Inula has been playing grandly. Mom is still having a tough time gettong her electricity done so they are hanging out.

Teddy is amazing. He's not afraid of even the Collie. He thinks Dennis shoots the moon. He is playing and getting along with everyone and eating ever so well.

Ann brought toys for the pups and said Risa had to pick first. Well, she picked the treats and this crew picked the toy. Thank you truly.

I am shorting this blog as I am out of steam. Everyone is doing well but come Tuesday I will be snapping photos again instead of relying on others to snap. :-)

Be sure to check out Meika's first snowstorm on Spice's blogs.

Today and Short Blog

Remember: Memory Lane!Just let me get through till Monday/Tuesday and I will start adding photos again. Nothing for either Adele or Buddy but I had to wash then again. We also have a pup going home.

Without photos which we have been short in taking, let me tell you about today and you will just have to visualize.

Daisy as soon as she got here could care less about the big collie but Murphy she was herding and herding. Then he finally gave in to play with her and she stopped. Murphy wanted nothing to do with her at first. She was - well you can't ignore me you know!

Teddy has been amazing but he has since his first time he visited us. He just snuggles into Adele and says all is right in the world. When I climb into the recliner he comes too. He is such a love these days and is truly enjoying himself!

Penny has managed to only get her feet and legs dirty so we did a partial bath. She departs tomorrow and she will be missed. I can pick her up and she snuggles right into my shoulder, I like those hugs so she gets picked up a lot. hahahah To be honest I do it to all. Some just like it more than others.

Scruffy and Pepper are here and they have been playing independent all day. Usually they spend time with each other too but lately they go their own way and have fun. I thinl Scruffy is more aware of where she is than she is of him. Its a very special relationship much like I see Trigger and Levon has.

Well, a half hour from now a pup will depart. Another tomorrow and yet another on Monday.

Today's Show

Buddy won Winners Dog today with stiff competition, despite him being ill behaved. He needs to act less like a puppy in the ring - ooops he is a puppy. (smile)

Adele got nothing but she has been wearing Inula and her coat is not up to snuff. She is being brought for practice so we are happy as she shown really well.

Too Busy Today

Got 2 dogs to wash tonight before bed so blogs will be extra short. I will get the family photos up of the pup going home.

Can you tell me which pups these are?

Everyone is doing really well and having fun. Teddy was running with Adele today. heh

PS: Truffie is doing great and Daisy dropped in and is playing her little heart out!

No Rest for the Weary

We are still doing but I am crashing. Last night with Truffie was better but still up half the night. I must get sleep tonight as tomorrow I have Muntuno, Buddy and Adele to get ready for a show and Holly as she departs. If I laid down I would be snoring. One can only have so many nights without sleeping the night, I am afraid. Oh well, it is what it is. Nathan tells me he is just as tired though he was with the rest snoozing. I was in caretaker mode.

It's a cold day so mud is not there - hooray!

Jesse runs his fool head off. Exercise is not an issue with him. You need to say - its rest time and watch tv so he goes into chill mode.

Each night I clean around eyes, check bums and ears. Its a habit I got into as it helps me know what is going on. Each time I groom I check pads, private areas etc. You do it without thinking. Baths you look at the hair, the skin etc. With winter coming hair between pads should be kept trimmed and don't forget the nails.

How did that happen? Spice went from not being able to have a ponytail due to her pups chewing on her to now always having one. Hair eventually grows if the chewing stops.

This dup departed. Next time he comes I promise photos of Levon playin cause he does.

Levon says and you want what, Jesse? Yeah, its me. Dogs smell each other to know who they are and their emotional state. It's amazing what they can learn from smell.

So, where's the water. Miss Roxie's hair is going darker winter colour. Sables do that their whole life.

Yes, Jesse has a voice. We are trying to curb that.

Penny wasn't sure about Jesse. She wanted to create a huge barrier around her or tell him he may die if he comes closer and then he did come closer and nothing happened and now they hang out. Go figure. The size of Jesse no matter how gentle he is gets them to wonder what the hey is that and what is his intentions. Then they realize his intentions is simply to have fun they relax. Penny is indeed relaxed.

Great conditioning having Jesse here. It has been great for Murphy too.

Cold Play

It's become cold again - yipee no blow dryers and wet mud - joy is back. But I had no sleep last night and when I say NO sleep I meant no sleep. Truffie was sick for the first time. He is getting better. Nothing contagious and we did have him at the vets today but I am so zonked its unreal. When someone is sick we immediately isolate them so that meant it was me and the Truffster all night long.  I did get an hour and a half nap this afternoon but I am exhausted. I almost said forget about the blogs. Enough complaining. Just know the Truffster is fine and is an excellent hugger. Less treats for this guy. He is still not eating yet but he is drinking water. Tomorrow is a new day.

How could you not love a face like this?

We have an update of Meika on Spice's blog. What a gorgeous cuties she is!

Levon and Trigger are hanging out. They didn't know what to make of Jesse at first but all is good. This borrowing Jesse is a great thing as he is good for the smaller set.

We had sedate sniffing and we had crazy play.

Nothing like running like the wind.

Brewer was here just for the day and he also had to adjust to Jesse. He did.

Kat and Trigger got along really well today.

Spice is always such a happy gal. She just loves life!

This was after Risa's brush out. I think she was having a counter attack move. You brush me - I will show you!

It took awhile but Jeannie has her full out play back and Murphy has totally loosened up. It's magic but it always happens.

Just Some Fun Photos

Just a visual of some fun we had. Bonus, Kat's brother Murphy who thought the pups were martians is playing with them gleefully. It just takes some magic and time. :-)

Wet and messy out there but still we managed to have fun.

It has been a fun day and it hasn't stopped.

Big Shout Out

Happy Birthday to Bella, Max, Mateo and Pippin. Hope you had a FABULOUS birthday!

Another One

Whine, whine whine is that all I do? I feel that way. Sorry. Its just been interesting with this MUDDY wet weather.

Here is a video that Alene sent to me that is cute. It was taken yesterday when we still had snow. I think all we are left with is mud in our yard.

Leti was so muddy that she looked like she became Jeannie's shade. It was really that bad but as Nathan is handing her to me, I had him finish Kat and I proceeded to wash her as really when I say 20% of her was unmud drenched, I am being generous. She looked GORGEOUS and then Dennis took her out and this time I hosed her off, let the dryers dry her off and brushed her at the end.

Blogs are short as I am tired, Sounds like a major gripe and I am so sorry for that but really between mopping a floor and cleaning dogs I want to - well sleep or gave some time off. I can't imagine if I didn't rinse Leti off again what my sheets would look like or the mats that would have set in.

Wet Day

Ragus is just hanging out here overnight but Momma made sure he was freshly bathed before he came so it would be easier for me. I have to laugh as I dried him out after this and after dinner he looks pretty much the same. Its melting and raining and the dogs - well all look like this so I am late blogging. I have towels and blankets for them to snuggle into with heaters and I am going one by one drying and brushing. I will be doing the same just before bed. All I can do is laugh as it is rather comical but oh my they are having fun and that is all that matters.

This is why Ragus is soaked for the 3rd time today. Think we will stay in till bedtime and then I will just have 1 marathon of drying.

Gracie is playing her heart out with Cody. Cody gets a bath along with Grace tomorrow and we do it just before their arrival so we can have dry dogs. Ragus will be blown out and dried and his undercarriage and feet spruced up. Challenging but doable - don't you worry. :-)

Murphy got drenched and looked like a wet rag too but I was too busy drying to capture him. Jesse stayed dry despite playing and only had to get a quick blow and brush out.

Then we had tv room time where Nathan sits with the crew with blankets etc and I dry and brush out. hmmmm

Yes they get the recliner, the dog beds, the couches. This is a dog room tv room after all. Nathan and the dogs. Every now and then I watch tv with them.

They sit on the top, on the tables with beds on it. Its covered up and designed for the dogs don't you know. It used to be our dining room but its a man and dog cave these days.

Jesse can't make up his mind. Its the couch, no its the recliner and he just steps up into them. No stairs required. It's a dawgs life. Wish me luck and fast drying at 10pm. :-)

PS: Oh my gad Nathan took them out again. I think its time to get him drying don't you think?

Just a Few Photos

Jesse adores the pups. For more endearing photos of the pups and Jesse check out the Roxie blog. It's the next one I am updating.

Wild Child Jeannie. I will be glad when her hair gets back into shape.

Believe it or not this was AFTER a brush out. I brushed and combed out EVERYONE including Jesse.

Shoshi seems to see just fine despite the fact that I am trying to let her bangs grow out. I miss the ponytail. I will keep her hair short but the head and tail long.

Murphy thinks he is a prince and he is. He is playing and he is having fun but no puppies yet.

That's it for today. Off to update the Roxie blog and then I may drop dead asleep - well I can't but wish I could.

Birthday Photo: Brewer Photo Added

I think Lori is getting really good with her camera.

Hi Darlah & Nathan,

Brew wants to wish his litter mates a happy birthday!  He was VERY spoiled today.  He got some new toys & yummy new dehydrated treats.  He even had a special chicken and sweet potato dinner (which I doubt he tasted, he inhaled it).

I attached a couple photos below.  Fortunately he didn't mind my poor wrapping job!

Mike

Birthday Tomorrow

Seeing I am just really tired today I am going to update you instead with pix of tomorrow's Birthday.

I had to send a photo of Nora in her new coat too.  It was hilarious because when I put it on she wouldn't move, even if we nudged her.  Isn't she so cute and feminine looking on her second birthday!

Pepper is waiting for her Momma to get through the snowstorm so she can start the birthday celebrations.

Happy birthday goes out to Lilly, Darcy, Rafi, Brewer and Kora. May you all have a very special day tomorrow!
