Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Here i s a mini gallery.

I am doing mini updates as I am sorely behind. We have pups departing in a couple of days and need to get things completed and I got a ways to go. The 1st pup and 2nd pup is completed but not the rest so I may be short blogging for a bit. Hopefully not.

We had a number of visitors for the day yesterday and today for Thanksgiving. Our turkey is gone - finished and it was a 25lb turkey but hey we shared with the dogs and puppies. What can we say but they loved it and I loved that they loved it!

I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Nathan has a serious hip issue. I think he needs to have it checked. He has an appointment next week. Today he is barely walking - joy. It also means I have to do all that he does as well. We will figure it out.

The dogs chased squirrels today. Usually they don't but they couldn't help themselves. It is okay. It was all in fun.

Thanksgiving Weekend Sunday

Here is the gallery.

This is how we spend most days when it is not raining but this is Thanksgiving weekend so we have a few day visitors while people celebrate with families. It is such a fun house today and leftover turkey was had - yum for the dawgs!

We ran, played and simply had fun.

May all of you have a sensational holiday weekend!

Some Days

Here is the gallery.

There are just some days that you fall behind and this was one of them.

I am busy getting puppy packs together. I cooked a turkey and thought I blew it but didn't. It was cooked perfectly. I was juggling groomings and well the dogs feasted and this was Brewer after his feast. That is what I wish I could do - eat and nap. Even the older pups feasted and they made it disappear in a minute ot two. 

Nathan went to pick up the dog food we ordered and Fromms sent it to the wrong store and our store didn't have enough to sell us so tomorrow he has to go 30 minutes up north to get them. We always order from the same store and this time they had someone new so they sent it to the wrong place. He can take a couple of dogs and go buy them. He likes to shop. So laughing!

I did manage to get quite a few combed out today.

I only did a minor amount of exercise and said that is okay. Lord knows I am skinny enough. Maybe I will do a bit more tomorrow to make up from gorging on turkey and pumpkin pie.

Magic's mom brought over a pumpkin pie as a thank you for grooming Magic.

The dogs and us despite being busy really enjoyed the day. Good food is always a welcomed event.

Harlow - well she wanted 2nds and 3rds. That gal loves to eat. River was the same - yum turkey yum!

Busy Times

Here is a mini gallery.

This blog will be short as it is 730pm and I need to brush dogs. It has been a very busy day.

Tomorrow we are going to cook our turkey. It means I need to start at 7am to get it ready before Nathan takes a nap. LOL. It also means the dogs will have a feast at lunch time too. 

Our weekend will consist of leftovers but I need Nathan to go get some bread and mayo as I like stuffing and turkey sandwiches. 

Tomorrow I am taking the day off from grooming as I have a hand that hurts from dematting. I will see what I get done tonight. 

The dogs and us are looking forward to a great meal. Hope you enjoy yours this Thanksgiving. I know we are early but as they say - better early than late. LOL

Out on a Cool Day

Here is a mini gallery.

I had Harlow freshly combed out and she went outside, rolled and made her face a total mess but that is why we love her.

Dogs were enjoying the fresh air. Harlow was back looking for rabbits and squirrels - which seems to be a passion for her. She gets everyone interested in the game.

I am busy getting my orchids in before they die. Frost tonight. All I want to do is take a nap but I can't. 

Out Between Rain

Here is a mini gallery.

Don't have much to say. We have been busy. Dogs did get outside whenever it stopped raining. 

The dogs played and had a blast but mostly indoors. It was simply too wet and dirty out there that they would track mud all over much to the frustration of Dennis that mops the floors. It was one of THOSE days. But we survived. 

The Rat Pack

Here is a mini gallery.

Have to brush everyone out tomorrow. Today was a much and play till you look a chaotic mess day and the leaves are seeds and what have you is getting caught in the coat but tomorrow that comb comes out. LOL

They say rain tomorrow. Today was absolutely wonderful weather wise. I was hoping it would last but if it rains, we will have indoor play. Oh well.

We did get a turkey - not as large as I wanted but good enough. We are not having company over this year. The grand daughter is in Japan. Another one is moving back to the city. The daughter is looking for a new place to live. The boys have plans so it is just Nathan, me and Dennis and of course a feast for the dogs. Which day will we make it? When it thaws and that's our Thanksgiving day this year. It is now frozen thawing in the fridge. I am looking forward to eating but not cooking or cleaning. Isn't that always the way?

All I can say is YUM!!!

Splendid Afternoon

Here is a mini gallery.

It was rather warm today. I say what a wonderful way to end the week. I sat outside and hung out with the dogs and soaked in some rays. I am not sure how I got so lucky to enjoy part of this day without going crazy busy and best of all snuggles from the dogs. I know the cold weather is going to come but it can wait, imho. 

Tomorrow hopefully we will have the 3 picks from people with everyone and figure it all out. 

The dogs so enjoyed this weather and was truly excited that I was out there with them. It has been a bust of a summer for me relaxing. It was mega busy so I take any day even a partial day as a gift.

Fun Outside

Here is the gallery.

We have a short blog today but we had puppy visits and still we managed to give the dogs a pretty fun time.  As you can see Maki smiling from ear to ear.

They played indoors, outdoors and it was perfect weather to do so. 

Maki, Malla and Bailey depart tonight. They bring great things to the mix.

Outside Sunshine

Here is the mini gallery.

Dogs had fun enjoying the sunshine. We do have a few visitors and the weather is cooperating.

Dennis ran with them today after sleeping in today. He is exhausted - us too. We may go to bed at 9pm vs 10. LOL

It has been a good day!!

Busy Times

Here is a mini gallery.

Not many visitors at this time. It was a busy day due to the vets. So, a chunk of time was delegated to that. 

It is cooler out today. The rabbit keeps showing up. No one is chasing it but they are curious.

Tonight I have to test equipment for things I send home. Tonight is the back of the sherpa bag tags I will test. The name and the phone # will come when they arrive - after puppy selection. 

Think we are going to watch a 1 hour show and spend time  snuggling dogs.

Visit

Here is the gallery.

We have a rabbit that sits around with the dogs. Hallie tries to chase it but everyone else just looks with curiousity. I am surprised it is still here but it is. We haven't seem the baby squirrel since mom took it away.

Dogs hung outside with Nathan and Dennis on this coolish day. It is supposed to get warmer later on in the week.

Going to be a busy day tomorrow as we have a puppy vet visit 1st thing. 

Busy times but fun times.

Warm Day Outdoors

Here is a mini gallery.

Dennis said something was wrong with the camera. He clicked a lot of photos but not many were on the memory stick. hmmm

Well they did enjoy Dennis and outdoors.

Not an event filled day but more of a relaxing one.

Warm End of Month

Here is the mini gallery.

It's such an incredibly warm day. I need to sit outside but who has time - Dennis and the dogs. LOL I am happy for him. 

They lazed around and enjoyed - the whole lot of them. It is a quiet house with boarders, at this time so lazing is possible for some. We all need that!

Really Nice Warm Day

Here is the gallery.

It is amazing how warm it is at the end of September. I am greatly excited as the dogs enjoy it so. Even Harlow made sure she looked for critters today. The dogs played. They had a ton of fun and I even managed to go out and click a few photos giving me the opportunity to soak in the sun.

We had a lot of play today. We had a lot of investigating.

I still marvel at the little things. It is nice to have warmth, dogs, a roof over your head and let there be lights. LOL You don't know what you are missing till it is gone. Be thankful. I am! Most of all, I have the dogs in bed last night making me seat up a storm as they slept like a 2nd skin. Yes, I am even thankful for that.

Thank you to Atousa for the pumkin pie. It is Dennis' fave pie. I rather like pumpkin too. Most appreciated!

Warm Fall Daze

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are enjoying this wonderful weather. Are you?

Inside, outside and fun is had.

I so hope this weather lasts....

Warm Fall Day

Here is the gallery.

We had a busy day. Last night we had a baby squirrel we assumed fell out of a high nest - actually 2 did. One didn't make it. We assumed an animal got to it as the head was not attached. It was a brutal thing to see. The other one looked okay but how can you tell. Dennis did research. Knew the mother would not be back till early morning and placed it in a box in our basement. Come morning he placed it back out and had a camera on it so he saw mom come to get her baby. He removed the dead squirrel. He did a good thing. When we got up this morning, it was about the same time mom came so we had to let the dogs use pads and stay inside till she came for her baby.

Needless to say, Dennis didn't sleep much worrying. What can we say - we are softies.

Tomorrow we have puppy visits and the pups had baths. See their blogs. They are fluffy puppies.

Weather was warm but didn't get a change to enjoy it. Too much to do. 

Dogs did enjoy the weather and Dennis.

Nathan is on his way to a wedding with Bowie the chocolate dog we have boarding with us. He was Hallie's baby and Truffie. They want wedding photos and the wedding is in Newmarket. We did this for Remy too. It added an extra fun to the wedding and it makes it special.

Nathan is always willing to help with this sort of thing.

I am tired but looking forward to showing off the puppies.

Inside or Outside

Here is the gallery.

It rained. It didn't. They played indoors and out depending on when it stopped raining. LOL

We have very few visitors, at the moment so it is quieter here. 

I have cleaned many under carriages and paws. Finally, just past 5pm the sun came out only to go back in. LOL

The dogs have feasted and are now back outside. Harlow - as usual who eats heartily cries for her supper - like hurry up, Dennis. Maki played and played and found Nathan's lap. Daisy thinks she is at a party and is having the time of her life and so is Dash and Tessa. They make me laugh and I thank them for that!

I look around and marvel at I can do laundry but I wish I didn't have to. Still, I can. 

Tomorrow is busy as we get ready for Saturday's puppy visits. Baths times 8 plus a full regular grooming that I have slotted. Can't wait to see fluffy puppies!

Normalcy

Here is the gallery.

We have most of our electricity back. It was an experience and caused by a surge that took out our entire house. We had rewiring done but still have more to do but due to costs, we opt to get the rest done after we get paid for the pups as that is where the money must go. Just a reality.

It has not been fun but we are happy to have what we need working. I am also glad that the newborns now have a working heat lamp to keep them toasty.

Dogs were a bit off kilter last night as it was mighty dark in here and I had 2 hours sleep - seriously. That was a joke but I celebrate having light and electricity. I believe they do too.

Although it was raining, Dennis spent the time running with the dogs to chase their willys out - so to speak. The dogs had a blast! They always do!

Electric Issues

We are down. Can't do updates. They said they are working on it but it most likely won't be fixed till late tonight or tomorrow.

I sent Nathan for camping lights. 

It appears it was a power surge with our house that took out our house.
