Oh Things

Risa still likes to muck it up!

Ozzie departed. So much fun that Panda baby is! No one is visiting tomorrow except the Logie Bear and Cali seems to be doing well.

Good news Nathan figured out the electricity in the pool house. GENIUS. He saved us a ton of $$. We do need a car replacement - oh well we will figure it out.

My plan was to wash Ozzie, Spice and Leti. I never got to Leti. Tomorrow as they say.

Something about an irritating video experience and spending way too much time finding a solution.

Jonathan is training Leti. He is doing classes so they had a session today. Good one! Usually its just Dennis but little by little Jonathan is helping with the dogs.

Seeing this week is quiet you may be experiencing this blog being short. I will be busy washing my own dogs before Panda has pups.

Okay a Day

Cali went to her forever home and she was giving kisses! We will miss her tremendously.

They had one last run and they do run and run here every single day!

Ozzie departs tomorrow and as hes not on the bath schedule I was cleaning and cleaning. Oh boy does he muck it up in a HUGE way! He is a Panda boy and he knows how to have fun. I have to say its been such a futile attempt in keeping him clean but I so try.

We have good news and well not great news today.

We will miss Cali truly but she is on an adventure. I just know it. I will feel it the most at bedtime and in the morning.

Nathan's ipad died so he is using mine at night. I get it during the day. I do love him.

The van died and I mean died.

The grand daughter is in Children's this week for surgery to remover her colon and part of her intestine and she will have a bag. They are not even sure this will fix the issue entirely. She will still have to be on these expensive drugs. Got to love it - not!

Adele and Muntuno did well at the show but I heard due to play he didn't look as good as the photo I posted but he still won - bravo. Thank you to Lucia for bringing Nathan to the show so he can do well and pick up our stuff. :-) Without good friends where would we be.

I think I am spent and I may have a gin and tonic tonight. hahahaha

Very Busy Day

Muntuno got a bath.

He was funny checking himself out in the mirror a few times.

Brewer also had a bath but didn't click him. Not sure why. Maybe as I had 2 demattings today and 4 baths. Plus I groomed everyone.

This was Scruffy's face when I came out to get him with a brush in my hand. Dennis was out with them while I was grooming and it had a no rain experience. He's looking at me as if to say - its my turn next? He doesn't seem to mind it but I think he preferred outdoors than inside on a table.

Pepper is here as well but I didn't manage to get photos of her that wasn't in the Jeannie puppy gallery. Sorry about that. Lori, you will have to look at Jeannie's puppy photos. She adores the pups. It makes sense. Cali does too!

Ozzie and Scruffy had a smell fest. I am not sure what they are smelling but I find they do this more after a rain as I am sure it must bring the smell to the surface?? Just my thought on the subject. The sun burns everything off.

Cali never ceases to amaze me. She departs with her forever family tomorrow night and her bath will come just before as she likes to muck it up. I will miss her more than you know. She is still a puppy but has been part of our home for quite sometime.

Here she is making a face dive and she doesn't skip a beat.

Spice always seems to have a terminal smile on her face.

And Inula is actually snuggling with Wasabi in this photo. I guess she is now truly part of the home.

It is another wet day but a fun one. The crew is snuggled up damp and messy after I groomed them cause they were back out running like banshees. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Rain and Just Me

Darlah and Nathan,

It has been one year since we brought Shelby home. She has brought so much joy into my life. I want to thank you as well as Spice for creating such a wonderful companion. Not a day goes by that she doesn't make me smile. Have a wonderful weekend.

-----

It is raining. Nathan is at a show. Dennis is sleeping so its just me. I will try to finish the blogs tonight. Hoping Adele stays clean so I don't have to wash her again tonight as they are back early tomorrow.

We had pups out before the rain - well we is just me. The dogs joined me. We managed to have fun.

PS: I can't put up a photo of Ozzie. His feet are jet black. :-) He's having fun. Oh this weather....

Craziness Today

This is what Ozzie did today AFTER I groomed him. I looked at him and went oh my and laughed. Oh, to be a dawg!

Ozzie and Odin were playing their hearts out.

Odin also liked the smell of mom.

I just found out last night that we had class for Inula and Leti tonight so I have been racing around to get things done and so no videos - nada for the blogs. Sorry.

You can check out Jeannie's page as Odin and Ozzie played with the pups in the kitchen and I will post a few photos there.

We are doing well but after all the groomings I had plus the pups and setting up the new camera - yes got a 3rd one so we can follow the Panda pups well I am rather behind. It happens.

Nathan has a show tomorrow so busy times.

Small Update

Coco is here practicing her bow. They have been having so much fun.

The Doozie was caught smiling a number of times - imagine that!

And Ozzie dropped in. Otherwise its been rather quiet.

Dennis did manage to make the house vibrate from running up and down the halls while the dogs went after him filled with glee. It still makes me smile to watch!

Invested

Adele and Inula are attached by the hip. They really adore each other but oh boy is Inula doing some damage to her hair.

We had a real quiet day as it was raining off and on. I didn't have a quiet day. The dogs did. I had some dogs to bathe and I had my grooming room to clean. Let me tell you do not clean it before you do baths. You just have to do it again.

I was going to go to handling class but that would have meant doing blogs at 830pm. So, here I am.

Inula and Val's Yeshi who was here tonight play different. Inula spends a lot of time telling Yeshi off. Their high pitched play is something else. Inula does not play with the havanese this way so it was interesting to watch and hear. Val says TTs play like that always but maybe Inula won't as she is hanging out with havanese. We shall see.

I believe I am exhausted today. We had a lot of fun but did I get video - no but I will next week when Yeshi is here. Let's just say I think Inula is possessed (her voice sounded like it) and Yeshi is relentless. Personally I think Inula has every right to say no, you can't mount me - get your nose out of there. Val says he has raging hormones. What can I say?

Yes, you are meant to laugh!

Just Some Fun

Moms are watcchig the running play out back. See the short video. They run like this many times a day and it depends on their mood as to who joins in. Even Risa has been known to cut someone off at the pass.

Roxie is finally feeling as if she can have some outdoor time. She will only go out after they are fed and cleaned as she knows they will be sleeping. She still only stays out for a short time but she is allowing herself some fun. Good one, Roxie. All moms need to do this - himan and canine!

After the crazy running Inula's tongue is usually hanging out.

Rafi and Toby had a blast today. Toby has departed and Rafi will shortly. I suspect they both will be mighty tired.

Logan is amazing with the pups. He is a gentle being. I got outside today to enjoy the air and he jumped up on top of me and snuggled. He is not a massive snuggler so when he gives you them you go ahhhhh.

Let says, so you thought my hair would stay groomed - well think again.

Today I have a really bad headache so I am pilled up and trying to chill and finish the blogs. Tonight we just have our dogs. The dynamics change from day to day. :-)

Long But Enjoyable Day

I was out for the day and Nathan didn't click a single photos so I tried to catch moments after my return such as Cali here.

Barkfest was not as good as I thought but glad we went. I did get some treats and some yum tornado potatoes. The dogs love Abby's Jerky and Chips Duck and Chicken. When we arrived home we went swimming but only Hugo and Milo went in as Nathan or I was not filled with enough energy to groom.

I did groom Scruffy and Pepper in the morning and I pray Nathan sent them out looking good.

Tomorrow night we go back to a quiet house and maybe its our last swimming day. We shall see. Nathan has a show next weekend and well I go into wait for the Panda Bear and her pups.

I am tired but the dog kisses and snuggles were the best. They are not used to me being gone and it was nice to see how much I was missed.

Busy Clicking Pups

I am so sorry. We were so busy either grooming, swimming or doing puppy visits that I didn't click the big dogs. As I am going out tomorrow I am not sure if I will be any better unless Nathan takes photos.

It was warm. The dogs had fun and well we are all tired. I was up most of the night with Cali not cause she needed me but I wanted to make sure she didn't get the onsie off or she wasn't scratching so I kept checking. I said to myself an hour ago I wonder why I am so tired. Oh yeah, I was up all night. Nathan just snoozed but if you hear it from him he was up too. :-)

So short blog - my apologies. I will tell you that Scuffy is very playful this visit. Pepper well she is in love with the pups. Rafi just loves everyone!

I could go on and on... But I need some downtime.

Big Shout Out Plus More

A big shout out to Cali who is getting spayed today. She will return here, get coddled and healed. We will take out her stitches and she will head to her forever home on the 5th of October. Going to miss her but she will get to see Mabel - bonus and us from time to time. Am happy that the family is so excited to have her join them.

Cali is home, so stoned she is walking sideways. I will put a onesie on her when she starts coming out of it. Wonderful stitches - hardly anything and glad I did her tummy so it looked neat vs having to redo the tummy hair.

We are having the last swimming weekend. Not everyone wanted to swim but we are going to try to get more swimming tomorrow. Adele wanted no part of it. She prefers to run around like a maniac and watch others.

Inula also went in for a swim. She's getting conditioned for next year.

Pepper really really loves the pups.

We had to tell this puppy, no biting ear hair.

Moseby and Murphy decided no pool today! That's okay. They had racing running games.

Yawn....

Hugo and Scruffy REALLY enjoyed each other. Hugo is more hyper and Scruffy so laid back. It is funny to see them connect. It's not alawys the same but a good compliment.

I get the chair little one!

Back door huddle. Hey its warm outside and the air conditioner came on. I want cool flooring on my belly? Can I come in?

It was a good day!!

Just Hanging Out

Sorry we have been rather busy today between a bath for Jeannie, her pups and Cali and then the blogs... so forgive me if I am short tonight.

We have had fun with the dogs. We are trying to heat the pool so we can swim tomorrow. We shall see.

Tomorrow Hugo and Milo arrive for a visit until their parents finish errands and then maybe they will swim too.

Tomorrow should be fun too!

Greetings & Fun

Shana Tova to all our Jewish friends. May it be a healthy and best new year yet!

Ringo is here till tonight and he has Inula's number or is it visa versa. He has had a blast!

The crew has really been playing hard. We even had Risa chasing Inula in the newly cut grass and Cali has green feet. That's okay as she gets a bath on Thursday. On Friday she goes into get spayed and then she will heal here. The she will go to her forever home. This one will be tough but we can't keep them all.

The dogs didn't want to come in and can you blame them? They ran. They chilled and they just sun bathed.

We had a great play session outside with the Jeannie pups.

Logan was amazing with the pups but he always is. I am amazed that the pup at this age are doing so well with the bigger guys.

It has been a warm day. We have the pool on and are hoping its warm enough to swim tomorrow. Looks like a fantastic week.

Tomorrow I will post a video of the bigger dogs with the pups. Cali is quite wonderful with them too.

Updates From Pups

From Ruth:

Here is a photo of Molly and Katie...................after arriving home from grooming.  They were zonked out!!  First time Katie was groomed and had a hair cut.  Her hair was about 3 1/2 inches long and I had her cut down to about 1 inch.  Despite daily brushing she was getting matted.  They look so adorable.  They often sleep side by side.  Best buddies!!  Molly is so patient with her....never ever bites her or growls.  She is the best older sister.  Kids on the street always pat them and often ask me if Molly is Katie's mommy.  So cute!!

Ruth

From Jayne:

A couple of pictures of Mabel at the beach ... Very windy day lol She never did go in the water this summer ... Maybe next year.

Loving the pictures of the new puppies!! Congratulations to all!

--------

There is no update today other than these two and clearly I think that is enough as how could you not melt your heart with these photos.

Tomorrow we return to the regular crazy updates. Hope you don't mind.

No Commentary

Just going to add a few photos. I had baths to do, grooming and I will be back at this tomorrow. I will tell you that everyone had a complete blast with each other and as usual at this time Nathan is watching tv with them. Me, I am blogging and doing pups.

Everyone gets along with everyone and the playing has been fun to see.

No Grooming Day

I decided with everything going on that I was going to have a no grooming day.

But when you cut the hair short like Rocky it doesn't matter if you skip a day. Tomorrow the Rocky gets a bath and goes home smelling beautiful. He recently got skunked (not here) so we will have to do a skunk off treatment. Tomato juice doesn't work folks and it stains. One year we had 3 dogs get hit and our late golden. That was not fun.

Rocky is rolling around with Moseby as I type and having a grand old time.

The weather was great after the torrential rains. We wished we had the pool on. Oh well...

Another Sunday....

PS: Panda is getting HUGE!

Visits

Inula went to visit Jazzy today and those outings to meet new friends are so important. So many shoes - well what to do? Glad Inula behaved. If you are ever shopping for clothes visit Eye on Fashion in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Everyone is doing great. We didn't put on the pool but should have. Been too busy but that is okay.

Tiger dropped in for a bath and Ty for fun. Rocky is playing his heart out with everyone from Truffie to Adele. Oh my. Such a fun day to watch.

6 loads of laundry today - yikes. Everyone groomed - hooray!

Just so you can see the colour on Leti - here's a photo.

Investigating

It is that time of year. We are seeing rabbits and the dogs are interested - even Rocky.

I even was out on the deck barefooted and had to run in the dirt to stop the crew from catching the rabbit. It's never held such interest before but here they are seeing it as a game and here I am putting on shoes from now on.

Well, I got my shower in as my feet were black.

We got all but one plant indoors now but they say the weather will be warm tomorrow. We shall see.

Our grass is beyond ridiculous. Jon has not cut it and it truly needs it. He says he hasn't had the time. Well I sure haven't or it would have been done. Maybe tomorrow - kids....

Been a long day. I had baths to do and I am overtired. Looking forward to 10pm.

At 9 I start cleaning all the water dishes, changing the pens if needed and thats all on me as Dennis is sleeping. Nathan takes the dogs out for their last hoorah.

I can't even read the ipad for more than a minute in bed. Maybe tomorrow I will wake up refreshed.

Real Short Today

Think I am falling on my face with just 4 hours sleep. But still the dogs have had fun and I had 3 baths to do today between everything else. This is Scruffy's fave ball. He will run, sabotage the rest just so its all his. I love it!!

Slim Update

Sorry not much of an update today. I promise to do better tomorrow. The dogs have been having fun. They are all draped over Nathan while he watches tv and I blog.

We have roofers next door so we have had to do a 'no bark' game. Then the gardeners came next door on BOTH sides and well some could care less and others say - intruder alert so we are working on that.

It's not all conditioning. We have had a lot of fun.

I am just not up to long blogging.
