When a dog wants a drink a dog wants a drink. Now to get myself a new one. hahahaha
Rain all day. Missy and Max who is visiting from Montreal is enjoying the rain and well as you can see my water too.
Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 4:08PM Bailey was here for a visit (so was Brewer just for today) and here are a few photos from that visit.
Getting used to the bounce in the cover.
Gee Truff I should have brushed you first. ROFL (Bailey you are puppy cutest)
Oh TRuffie played with the pup and with Adele but those photos came with feet in the way and all sorts of things. Don't ask me why.... At least Sylvia got to see it!
Friday, October 11, 2013 at 6:46PM Best weather don't you think? The dogs certainly think so. Me, I was busy washing dogs - today was Logan, Panda, Truffie and a couple more. I love clean dogs and Mr. Coops departed off to Huntsville and we hope the traffic to cottage land was not bad.
Here are a few photos from today. At the moment we are watching Glee and chillin with the dogs.
Funny how I woke up, fed the dogs, ran with them outside and then started brushing and after that brushing I took photos. You can't tell they had a comb in them at all except by feel. By looking at them you can't tell. Oh well, at least they are knot free. Photos of Truffie was BEFORE his bath.
Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 6:02PM The weather is great. The havanese are running like crazy and boy are they tuckering themselves out. Everyone got groomed but I will tell you they didn't look that way 10 minutes later. Here's a few photos of them playing.

Mom and Daughter
They were all chasing Truffie and he was loving it.

Shoshi thinned out
To say they have had fun is an understatement. Brewer, Coach, Sassy depart and Missy and Max arrived. Its been so long seeing Missy and Max and their humans. They live in Montreal so its been way too long. I am so excited about this visit and they seem to be too!
Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 6:21PM Very busy day today. We had a ton if fun but is Coop having fun? I think he is having so much fun he is getting grungy and can't wait till I finish grooming so he can play. Nathan and the crew are now sleeping watching tv. They ate, they played and now they are all taking a nap.
The gals were conspiring ... oh oh
Sibling Fun
Nathan time...
It was truly a fun day. But boy do they need a brushing and I already brushed them this morning. Oh well... You get that way from playing so hard, I suppose.

I had 4 dogs to wash and a turkey to cook. You see we have dogs to watch while other people enjoy their dinner so I figured the only way I am going to get turkey is to cook it today. So inbetween I had dogs hovering around the stove licking their lips.
I had hubby and Dennis saying did you baste the turkey? Yes, I did inbetween this wash or that but thanks for asking. Dennis and Nathan played with the dogs when I was washing but do they take photos? NO! argh though Nathan said he took a video. Well I didn't get to yesterdays video. So, we shall see how today goes but hey its better to groom and play with the dogs don't you know?
As I type, I am eating turkey. Yum. See multi-tasking it still came out.
Plus the dogs were thrilled as Nathan took some turkey, cut it all up and the dogs got their feast too.
You didn't think we would forget about them, did you? Mr. Coop was smaking his lips and so were the rest especially Ms. No Name.
Happy early Thanksgiving!
PS: Just a small video Nathan did while I was washing dogs and making turkey.
Monday, October 7, 2013 at 6:24PM Although we do go outside when it is raining we don't spend the hours playing outdoors when the weather is so nasty. Instead they play and we play with them inside. They still expel energy and have a ton of fun.
As you can see they surely adore Dennis. Here is a gallery of a few photos taken today.
Zoe was here for a bath - goes home in a few minutes. Levon and Trigger was here for part of the day and Cha Cha just went home. Coops, well you see him in the photo above. I may have video but not getting to it till tonight or morning. Shooting for tonight.
They have been having such a grand time I am laughing. I am not well yet but working on it.
The dawgs - well they do my heart well. Need it as grand daughter is not. Every medicine they put her on she has serious side effects. Poor thing. Now she gets to see an infectious disease doctor.

Chase, Finn and Ziggy have all departed. Nathan seems to be faring okay. I am still sick. I am actually crawling on the couch inbetween doing things but Dennis and Nathan are holding down the fort so to speak. I did manage to give Risa a bath. I did do the above 3. My goal was to do Wasabi as well but not today.
Risa was a nightmare. She decided to crawl under the wet deck. Well, at least she did it BEFORE the bath.
Cha Cha is here departing tomorrow and the Coops is here for a bit.
We are playing indoors more than outside. Tomorrow no rain so we will be back to outdoor crazy fun. Today Dennis has been running the hallways with the adults literally.
Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 5:42PM The dogs have been having really silly play. Ziggy is a complete mess. He needs a bath before going home. I have 3 going home and 3 getting baths and Cha Cha and Cooper coming to visit us.
Here are some photos from today.
Walking Over Jeannie
They are having so much fun!
Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 12:23PM Check out Marketplace called Barking Mad. In my opinion they didn't go far enough nor did they use a dog with a real issue. If they did it would have been even more interesting.
Friday, October 4, 2013 at 7:46PM 
Had a wet day today and the dogs looked interesting. We had a show where we didn't do a thing as Adele seems to be going into a fear stage and this was a noisy venue.
Nathan has more training to do. Oh well, it happens.
Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 5:18PM 
But Mommy the puppy fun is gone. What happened?
We had a great day but we are off to class so not much of an update - sorry and tomorrow through Sunday we have a show - argh... But we will be updating as we won't be gone all day - just a few hours each but much prep to get ready...

We had another warm day of play. Nathan and Logan was doing this jump up, give paw fun play. It was a riot.
Everyone continued to run and have a grand old time. It's not over either. Boy I have to wash dogs next week but not before the show. They can wait till Monday and so can the sanding.
The 3 pups left go out and play with the adults. It's amazing how well they blend in. Going to miss them.
Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 6:08PM The pool cover went on. We got the pups out first and then added the adults. It was such a blast that we forgot to feed the dogs and I forgot to brush Logan and Panda so I was quickly brushing as they go out the door. I think that was a first but really it was amazing fun! I have video but that will have to come later tonight. It will come and I hope I captured enough to give you the flavour why I lost my mind temporarily.
After starting out with such a lousy day this made me laugh and smile. Hope the video tells you why but till then, here are a few photos.
You Go Logan!The dogs just LOVED the pool cover and the weather and the play and so did I. I will try to get the video up tonight.

With dogs going home, paperwork getting done, bags getting created and the normal stuff we do, the blog is getting later and later in updates. Seeing I am doing multiple updates on Spice's blog, it only makes sense.
My office is getting opened up to the other adults now with only 4 left. They are playing but sleeping a great deal.
Roxie and Panda had this system of cleaning puppy ears. It was a riot. That's what Momma dogs do.
Logan and Panda are now home. Ty also came for a day visit. Ziggy is hanging out and is truly a fun, fun dog. He will love seeing Scruffy tomorrow who is his brother.
It's a crazy week and we are missing the pups but its also fun in many, many ways.
We will resume our normal flavour of blogging soon. No worries!
Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 5:07PM We are not really taking a break but we are minimizing this blog due to all the Spice blog updates but this too shall pass.
Anyone remember who this cutie was?
We have had a full day. I would like to say I enjoyed the weather but didn't get enough time in it and by the time I do it will be cold.
This week is a busy one and on Friday we have a dog show Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then can I relax? We shall see. Relaxing is still grooming, playing but not all the EXTRA stuff.
Dogs had fun. 2 Pups from Wasabi's first litter is here for the day. Ziggy, Scruffy's brother is here.
Panda is getting extra lovey with me. Logan always is. Does this mean Panda is getting close to being in heat? Well she is not today. That's all I can say. :-)

Well you know we did a road trip and now I am doing paperwork, getting bags ready and just finished with baths of 2 pups. So, no blog today other to say despite all of this we are managing to have fun. I am eating at my desk. Dennis is doing his part in playing and helping out.
I did get most groomed but not all. I am not super human despite what I would like to think but tomorrow I will get to the rest.
Mia and Ziggy and Finn are visiting us. Mia just overnight. Ziggy is Scruffy's brother so he will get to see his brother when he comes on Tuesday. Such fun!
PS: Finn just ADORES the gals. hehehehe
Friday, September 27, 2013 at 11:24AM 
He came for play and a bath and trim. He's been playing up a storm ever since. They are so tight that Finn will be glad when he goes home so he can get some play time in with Adele.
After his cleanup - just finished so he can now play and play.
Till later.
PS: Adele survived her first obedience class but not sure we did. It is an hour drive and as it was so hot inside we did it outside and I got eaten alive. It was an adventure!
Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 2:54PM 
Last night we had handling class. Tonight we have obedience in Blackstock. Yes, you heard that right - all the way to Blackstock but we love Teddy. We also get to see a lady with her puppy golden.
Today Coops and Gracie departed and last night Daisy departed. Thank you to Daisy's mom for the big tip. Most appreciated!! Thank you for liking what she looked like. We already miss them.
It's crazy how that happens. We soak them in - meaning they get to you with all the licks and kisses and then they depart. Fun times for sure.
Well its a nice day so we are outside. Got much to do before class.
Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 4:43PM 
We have had a lot of outside pouncing and play as its simply gorgeous out.
Cooper seems confused about the gals. Adele thinks she is boss, Jeannie says do what I say. Roxie says let's run like the wind. Cooper just looks and looks and oh he plays but its as if he is saying has these gals gone loco today?
Then before they came inside, Coop decided to pounce on Jeannie and tell her who was really boss. Oh this was all in fun but its as if spring was in the air not Fall.
As I was clicking, Logan was scratching Pandas back. I couldn't figure out why she has broken ends and now I know. She just sits there and he scratches and scratches her back. Maybe it feels good but its an interesting interaction. What do you think he really is trying to do?
It's still warm out. Daisy gets a bath and goes home tonight. Tomorrow night Adele goes to her first obedience class. Maybe it is spring - oh I wish!
