Internet Issues

You should read this article.  I can't create galleries and this morning my ISP provider was down along with many other places such as Twitter, Visa, Netflix and the list goes on.

The blogs will be short but updated minus any galleries I can't do.

This is Adele who I call my Adelee Wellee. We all have pet hames for our dogs. Adele's official names is Talemaker's Rollin' in the Deep. She was getting brushed today. Everyone got brushed. I woke up with lower back pain that makes picking up interesting. I think I must have slept with too many pillows. I am going to sleep flat tonight after some tylenol 3s and then see how I am tomorrow. 

Connor is here playing up a storm. This is a Roxie puppy. He is such a 'happy, happy' puppy.

It's raining and some come in like wet rags and some say not me, I want back in. I would rather have snow then rain but I must take in furniture etc. So I need time before the white stuff. I never seem to find the time. 

Dogs are playing like crazy. Sometimes the floors like like footprint city. We wash they mess but this too shal pass.

Tonight we possibly have an Emmy pup is departing. Busy times.

Oh and Brie thinks she is human and feels her rightful place is at the table. hahahaha

Wet Dawgs

It's a wet nasty day out and well we want better food! We have to eat our lunch in the hall or others may think it is better than it is. Not to worry, Daddy went to Brunos to get a steak so he had something to add in. Spoiled. Then he stopped at the store and got some treats for the rest. 

That's okay. Dawgs are meant to be indulged every now and then even when they are not pregnant.

No matter what I did today the dogs look a mess cause they are. It is simply too wet here. I brush and they look disheveled. I give up.

The disheveled look Gallery.

Risa jumped the wrong way on her back legs and she is holding up her leg. We are supposed to rest her but although we get her to mostly do this she has a mind of her own. It takes about 2.5 weeks for rest. She is not in pain. You can go up and down her leg. She does not react. Shoshi did this years ago not once but twice jumping off the deck after ducks. Sometimes dogs can be silly.

All the dogs are well. They are enjoying fun play. Connor dropped in and he's having a blast.

Looking forward to dryer times.

Short Update

Playing like crazy and Nathan clicked. Check his clicks out here.

Nathan was good enough to click photos today. He didn't do it all day like I do when I have large galleries but he did click a fair number.

I was out with a dear friend that I haven't seen in quite sometime so it was great to eat out and chat and have then say time to leave. 

But I feel bad that I am not able to do my usual updates but hopefully they are good enough.

We are watching the debate tonight. The debate occurs in Las Vegas. Funny they picked the land of glitz for the last debate.

Dogs had a blast today. Goldie departs tonight. 

Tomorrow we have someone coming to see the pups. I was going to give them baths but sort of silly to when they keep running through mud. It's fun you know!

Emmy had an issue with Jesse. Nothing bad. He just was in her face (space) and felt uncomfie. Today she says oh that is just Jesse. Conditioning does work. Jesse loves all but he is big and he can be in a dog's space. He's learning too.

Connor comes tomorrow! We are excited!

Windy, Warm Than Wet

Teddy departed and Teddy arrived for grooming. :-)Yes, that's 2 different Teddy's. :-0 We had an interesting day. It was windy and warm as ever and then it just started raining a few moments ago. We had to rush everyone in as it really started to come down. 

Here is a gallery from today.

We had a great day. I did groom a fair bit and now I am blogging late but it's life. Tomorrow I have a friend coming to visit and we are playing with pups and doing lunch. I am looking forward to it! I may be sparse or late blogging. 

Jesse and Murphy arrived today. By tomorrow everyone will have adjusted to Jesse. It is so good for them.

Everyone seems to love Stone but especially Emmy. 

Nathan is now doing tv time with teh dogs. Well, I am here!

They say cold setting in tomorrow.

Whipping That Hair

Brie is so funny. She literally whips her hair back and forth after I brush her up and redo her hair as if to say - so THERE!

We have had a mighty rainy day so some went out for really short visits. I also had to do a lot of feet. I want to cement my back. heh

Here is a very small gallery.

We had a LOT of fun - every single one but it's a short blog.

Jeannie and Adele's calendar is now up. Dates for xrays are also posted on each blog.

Such a Day

Well we had a total blast today but we are also dealing with a van that the security alarm won't shut off. Can't you just have a fun unevent-filled day?

Here is a gallery.

It was rainy so many of the photos don't take in the entire day. They had so much fun, it was hysterical. 

I did get everyone brushed and combed out. I do so want to sit and watch Goliath. I fell asleep to it last night and I think I saw 15 minutes of it. 

They are calling for more rain tomorrow.

Updates Tomorrow

Now that baths are done (puppies) and a visit for Safi pups is completed, I can concentrate on taking photos of the adults. This was Miss Adele lazing outside while we had a visit. Jeannie also joined in. Both are pregnant and was enjoying the warmth outside. Who would have thought this time of the year and sleeveless shirts. We are so enjoying this but I must admit I didn't get to click the adults but will tomorrow.

Everyone is having a truly WONDERFUL time. 

Nathan did click a few photos. Here they are. The pups were outside and got the blackest feet and then I had to clean. So now you know why I didn't get to click. heh.

So, I promise tomorrow. I have to go make my lap available to any dog(s) that want it. You understand, don't you?

Very Short Blogs

Yes, we play indoors and out. We had a truly fun day but I had the pups to wash and take photos of and we had Magic, Teddy and Ty drop in. Magic was just here for the day. Here's a small gallery of the play in the kitchen. We also had a family come to see the Rowan and Emmy pups. I also am tired so I will do a better job at updating tomorrow, I hope. hahaha

Just an Update

Winston was here for grooming and got to play with the pups. He had a great time! Here is a gallery. Be sure to check out Emmy's blog as we have some of the adults playing with the pups in the gallery.

Dolly was visiting for the day too and brought a yum honey cake. Thank you!

Should have taken more photos but had a dog to demat that took me 3 hours. The dog was neutered and they were afraid it would hurt him to comb and brush. If you don't know you can, these things can happen but drop us a line and we will let you know. You must take off their cones, their onesies etc once a day and brush and comb them out after surgery. This will keep the knots at bay. 

What a great time the dogs have but I was grooming longer than I had slotted. 

Oscar also departs tonight. No more neck aches and I say that in a fond way. He loves to sit on my neck like a fine scarf. hahaha He will be missed1

Oh My I am Late

Can you believe I actually was brushed? The human can't believe it. Oh well I am so very late but we had a busy but fun day. Here is a gallery of some. We are keeping this short tonight. Sorry!

Happy Birthday 2: Clarity Photos Added

Caelen wants to wish Maddie, Clarity, Charlie, Reggie and Rocco a very happy second birthday!

Karen

Oh Caelen you are a cutie!!

Do you see what I see?

I'm so embarrassed.  You couldn't hold your stay for 2 minutes for my birthday portrait!?

What the heck ... You're eating my birthday treats!

Happy Thanksgiving

BenjiMurphyOscarI am under the weather. Not sure what happened but I was up all night sicker than sick and today I have 5 dogs to wash and groom. One is a puppy that has to be done shortly. The rest are done.

So, I don't have an update per se. I am simply not up to it. I should really be in a chair reclining or in bed but I am still doing.

Happy Birthday: Radar's Photo Added

Alvin and his siblings are turning one!!!

Thank you for giving us the best little puppy in the world!

Love,

Ko family

My birthday party just ended and a great time was had by all.  I still hate party hats as you can tell, even though this one lit up haha!

And, thanks to cousin Abby for attending the party with Patches and me.  I am include a pic of me on the back of the chair awaiting cousin Abby and Auntie Liz to arrive.

Radar

From Darlah:

Abby has the cutest face in the picture you sent!

Pool Cover Fun or Hesitation?

Oscar has been here for days so pool cover, no problem. Radar wasn't sure what to make of it at first but then he went oh, I can walk and even run on this and it's fun. hmmm Cha Cha and Satch have seem and walked on the cover so no problem for them. Though I think Cha Cha just doesn't see why they are all running on it. She calmly walks across as if its just another medium to walk on. Why are you silly dogs running and jumping and acting crazy... please!

Even Brewer was back excited about the cover. PS: I usually hate the shaved down look but Brewer wears it well. He's so darn cute. 

Here is a small gallery. I didn't catch all as I actually wanted to see it live vs. after the fact. You only see a sliver when clicking. 

But we had fun but oh boy its chilly out there. The Safi pups aren't lasting as long as its cold. May have to buy some small sweaters for them. hahahahaha

It was another fun day. It truly was. 

I just love each of the dog's personalities. 

Bad Habits

It's becoming a habit in doing the blogs late but its when I have the time or really not time but....

I am not sure.

Fitz was here but I forgot to click photos of him. He's a Jeannie baby. He is ever so cute and built like Jeannie and has as much hair as she does. He is adorable! But here is a gallery of a few shots I clicked. 

I started washing Murphy in a shampoo and conditioner that smells heavily in salt but its supposed to be good for the skin and Murphy's mom says the smell does go away. Bonus her hair still looks good a week later. Is iit worth the smell?

We had a really full day today. Tomorrow an Emmy pup goes home so there is paperwork, a bag to get ready and a bath with photos. I think that is what setting me behind. Well, that's my excuse, for mow.

Hope you enjoyed the amazing weather. Rain they say tomorrow. Joy.... not!

Day Off

It's almost like summer!It was a warm day today and I feel like I am playing recovery. I should have clicked photos but instead spent my time grooming. It happens. We also had Rosie depart and puppy potential people come tonight. I also need to do the paperwork and get a bag ready for the pup departing on Saturday. I know this is Thursday but it takes time. :-)

So, it was a great day outside temperature wise. I haven't watched tv in a week. I am hoping to tonight but I do have paperwork. So....

Till tomorrow!

Pool Cover Fun

Here are two galleries. 

Pool Cover Fun

Warm Fun Day

Teddy has departed. Oscar has arrived. It's sunny and warm. The dogs LOVE the trampoline pool cover. Yes, it's one of the older safety covers that is thick and 4 people stand on it in spring to wash it and roll it up for another season. The dogs love it. Oh, they love the swimming too but when that pool cover comes on its fun, fun, fun for all!

Recovery and Sharing: Huge Happy Home Coming

Hi Darlah,

Two years ago today was when Fiona came to live with us. I have to thank you and Nathan so much. I feel so blessed to have her. She is the sweetest little dog ever. I can't remember when she wasn't here. She has brought myself and my family so much joy. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her. I'm sending you a photo of Fiona on our front verandah just after a visit to the spa. Hope you are both well. Happy Thanksgiving. Beverley Devlin😊

Isn't she adorable?

Well the last 2 days was insane. I never realized how many things one must do to get ready for a family get together. It's actually insane as usually my day is full to begin with. Glad the china is back till when Thanksgiving? sigh

Dennis and I already had the Rowan and Emmy crew out. I am about to take out the Saffron crew. Saffron was combed out. Jeannie was combed out. We are done with 2 loads. I need to put motion detector lights ib the backyard that I got through airmiles. They sit on my desk and come on each time I move. heh Need to get them screwed in outdoors.

The cover is on and the dogs are having a blast on it though its still wet. Can't wait to see the pups on it.

I hope to get a printer up and going. Mine bit the dust. 

Got more dogs to brush out. Got Gracie to wash and one of mine. My PVR is chock full at 100% and can't record any longer. Gracie departs today. They are selling their house.

Jeannie and Adele are acting like they have morning sickness. 

So many plants to let die or bring in. Have to decide. Dennis had the windows open in my office and the room still didn't get cool. All pups are old enough now to have it cooler.

Well back to cleaning, laundry folding and waiting for Nathan to finish reading the paper so we can get the Saffron pups out. By the time he is done I swear they will be sleeping.

Very Late

Blogs will be very late as we have a family get together and well with cooking and setting tables, cleaning etc it's a tad crazy. Never mind taking dogs out to play too.

Plus they are closing our pool today. So maybe later I will get the adults running on the cover. We shall see. 

We had Saffron's pups out on the ground for the first time and they lasted about 20 or so minutes. wow - See her page as the video and gallery is already there.

We had Rowan's and Emmy's out at 730am, noon and again at 2pm. They are napping now. 

So blogs will not be updated till after guests depart and who knows what time that will be. But I am also feverishly trying to get the galleries and videos done when I can. 

Till later...

Holidays and Short Blogs

Due to family get togethers (gatherings) I am doing short blogs and no gallery today. Besides, it is raining.

Here is Cooper after his comb out. He was a tad dirty. Don't you love rain? Here he is after getting cleaned up. He was watching Tracy and her boyfriend depart. Cooper goes home tomorrow. Can the rain stop, please? We have a momentary repreive. Let's hope it stays.

Just got this photo of Charlie, Spice's brother. 

For those that celebrate we wish you a Sweet New Year! L'Shana Tova!
