Not Many Today

Here is the gallery.

Sorry - we are still trying to repair things least of all that $%^& hard drive and it so far is not working but... Dennis didn't take many photos as we were working on repairs and grooms etc

I will try better tomorrow but isn't this a comical photo? I even fed the Nami pups late and I still have to update those blogs and upload videos etc

It was a cooler day and the dogs are relishing this weather. Where did the summer go? Such heat and it just went by too fast. But I do not think the dogs enjoyed the extreme heat but they are relishing the weather now. 

The dogs were hysterical in play. That cool weather appears to be mighty invigorating.

Cooling Down

Here is the gallery.

I trimmed a bit around Coco's eyes as she kept getting discharge from her eye from hair poking in. Whem it is between, it happens but she kept rubbing her face. Once I did that, she stopped. 

Coco is a gal with attitude. She tells you what she needs always.

Harlow is sporting a shorter beard. I may give her a bit of a haircut here and there as I like to not force her to deal with a full groom all at once so I wash them trim here and there. She likes that better. So a 1 day process ends up as a 2 day much like Tia who is not happy with grooming as she is solidly a senior.

Dogs played in and out. Harlow is still coveting the big crate. She rolls her body all in it and we put war, blankets into it daily as she seems to like the warmness. We also put ice in the water dishes. What can I say, we try to make their lives comfortable.

Dash and Tessa are bonded, it seems though they both play with others. Dash is at the age that he is more deliberate and Tessa wriggles her body all over the place. Sometimes Dash says I am done and she listens after about the 3rd time. It is funny. 

Lachlan and Ollie got to play with each other. Brothers enjoy that. Marlee puts up with it but sometimes says ME TOO!

Benny and Marlee have foubd that they have mutual investigation games to play. I think they are looking for rabbits.

Harper well she loves to sit on high and she covets her spots. Ty is having a grand time rolling here and there and enjoying the fresh air. He is very comfortable here.

Socks and Hazel are here an extra night. Our thoughts are with them dealing with a human loss. 

I could go on and on but got laundry to do, dogs to snuggle at tv time and well, I am tired. 

Wet Cool Times

Here is the gallery.

I am so busy brushing out dogs as we had rain and the dogs were caught outside in it and I am tired. LOL What is new?

I had a discussion about a distribution of responsibilities. hahahaha

Harlow had to be drained today and she is doing better but resting today. I even cut her beard short and gave her another bath. She decided to go for a swim and is still a strong swimmer. Who knew but the pool will be closed and I hope she doesn't decide to do that again and yes, it was a choice - not a falling in. She amazes me at times. Glad we are always out with the dogs. 

No one else went for a swim so here is to next year after the heater is fixed.

Dogs have lazed outside, inside and are now watching tv. We finish Murderbot and now finishing Wheel of Time. Guess Fall is coming - oh boy...

Couch and Fun Time

Here is the gallery.

What dogs that join the couch fun is up to them. They love the warmth and the fun hanging out.

We have had a lot to fix. It is far from done including the hard drive. So, not many photos but you can still get the flavour of enjoyment.

Please understand that I am working with issues on the computer. It is a crazy process but I have my laundry going - pool getting closed next week. Lights need to be rewired. Its just so much fun but 1 thing at a time. LOL

Dogs have no clue what is going on. They don't need that stress. 

I will be updating Yoshi's blog today, if it allows. 

As I type, I am still looking out the window and well the dogs are having fun! Me, well not so much.

Smiles and Fun

Here is the gallery.

Oh the dogs had smiles today....

We have semi fixed the washer. It takes 2 rinses to get it to spin. Still working on the hard drive. Ordered the closing of the pool. 

Having fun with the dogs and about to watch tv with the dogs. 

I am spent. So bear with me.

To Update or Not

We will try to update before the hard drive arrives so that may mean before afternoon. 

But in case I can't, dogs have eaten. They are laying outdoors enjoying the weather with Dennis.

They started this day off with immense fun and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Warmish Event Filled Day

Here is the gallery.

No one got brushed out. See my post below. It has been some day. I will start brushing out tomorrow. I did a truncated exercise today - all I could muster in all this fun. 

We have an issue with a washing machine. We had a huge surge that lasted and fried one hard drive and you could smell the burn. We have one that the data is scrambled. A repair lasted all day and now a hard drive will arrive and I will have to be install and I will glean as much data as I can off of the semi fried hard drive. One I know is already gone. This will take a few days. It is just a reality nut we have a makeshift way of doing galleries etc. It is not pretty but doable so you don't miss a day. Can I go to bed now? 

It looks like I do have a washing machine issue, a pump in the pond issue and maybe a pool heater issue. I was blaming the son but it appears it is not working and if it isn't, may as well close and deal with it come spring as I am having way too much fun for even me and I prefer and our bank account prefers to procrastinate even though I needed the swim. 

Dogs had fun. Many departed. Harlow is delighted to have the entire crate with the slideup door to herself. She is funny. 

We are watching MurderBot - quirky, short but gives you a distraction. We will watch tonight and have dogs draped all over us. It is the best!

We had a debate over if dogs prefer cold water over tap water. I say with ice please and many of the dogs do prefer it that way where a few most likely could care less. It is interesting.

WEll, I am done - please understand.Tomorrow, again I will try my best. It is all I can do.

Down for Count

Can't update. We had a massive surge and it took out a hard drive that has MY SOFTWARE FOR GALLERIES, my photos and on and on. It is a 20tb. My computer has been trying to repair since 7am. I had to order a hard drive. It cant come till tomorrow. My ups failed. 

So no photos today. Maybe not tomorrow but I am on my ipad. Otherwise you wouldn't see a post from me. It says 3.38 hours to see if a the repair works on my computer or at least boots up. 

You will see puppy videos as that is in the iphone and on youtube. Everything else, I am afraid not.

Dogs are enjoying this balmy weather. I wanted to swim but my pool was 78f and everyone is denying it was turned down.

Oh well, it is a day. I will update all the blogs minus photos and galleries till I can.

Nice Day But Not Swimming Weather

Here is the gallery.

I am sadly behind so this blog will be short. The dogs had a ton of fun. I am battling doing this laundry that has an issue as it is clogged. So bear with me.

They played. They had fun and Harlow LOVES LOVES bacon. Who doesn't?

Not Warm Enough

Here is the gallery.

Was hoping to get in the pool but it simply was not warm enough. Dogs have been playing in a huge way. Coco the Maltese was giving kisses. It was a delightful day but for some reason, I am playing recovery. I wish Dennis had taken more photos, but he didn't. He is now cooking up ground beef for the dogs. We have dogs barking which is interesting trying to take puppy photos.

Never had barking each time I try to take a video. Usually it is a quieter house unless someone comes to the door. We have a boarder getting everyone talking - what can I say and a washer that is clogged. Joy!

But the dogs are still having fun.

Fall Weather

Here is the gallery.

I had just finished grooming Reggie and Dennis insisted on him going out. With his cream coloured coat, I was sure I would need to touch him up but he was fine. Good that he got his play in before heading home. Ms Gucci also went home and she too got her play in. 

The dogs seem to thrive on cool weather but not me. I want more swimming in and they say we are getting warmer in a day or 2. 

I reached my 1 million points in supernatural vr fitness so I will be exercising less. I have lost all the weight I want to and I firmed up my tummy, arms and legs so I can do less but if I need to do more, I can adjust. 

The dogs do love to go out when the weather is cooler. Dennis loves to sit out on the couch with them. I get that. Maybe I will do that tomorrow and he can watch the pups or I can with my ipad. We shall see. 

We have dogs coming and going today and it is quiet tomorrow then busy on Sunday again. 

We hope it is a wonderful weekend for you.

My blog is done earlier - imagine that!

Rain and Busy-ness

Here is the gallery.

Guess who was here getting her nails done and going home. The brown sable is a Yoshi pup. Hazel was playing with her.

In the gallery, I took a few shots of Harlow in her new fave coveted spot she so loves it. This was a fabulous crate we got years ago that has a door that lifts and slides in. It also comes with wheels so you can move it around. Wish they still sold them. Hindsight and all. 

We had the pleasure of Luna and Rusty visiting today. 

It was only 59f today - brrr...

It has been a crazy day filled with busy-ness, As an added bonus, I will reach my exercise goal tomorrow of 1 million points. Then my next goal is only to do what I like and improve.

As of today, I admit I am beyond tired. I think I reached the exhausted stage and I look forward to exhaustion not being a daily thing.

It rained a fair bit today so the gallery is interesting but hopefully enough.

Dogs are having fun but today it was some outdoors but mostly inside. 

Happy 9th

This was Tenshi in her fave spot when she was here. Happy birthday!! She is now home celebrating.

Oh Boy

Here is the gallery.

Its been a day of falling behind. Harlow had a great visit with her human dad. She was happy - he was happy - success!

I am trying to finish off a goal of 1 milllion points in exercise. I am still 10,000 away and my goal is to finish Friday. I need to check my sanity but my next goal is a much lighter schedule so getting it done is a good thing.

Dogs - many to groom. Same schedule tomorrow. 

Dogs had a ton of fun and I mean a ton today. 

Life was grand in the dog world for all here!

It's Been a Day

Here is the gallery.

Harlow was at the vet and she is actually enjoying the vet. I think she thinks of these visits of her feeling much better and she does. She was back outside not snoozing on the couch but looking around for what I imagine is critters but the rabbits have moved on. I love seeing her this way. She gets to see her human Daddy tomorrow and he brings her her fave meal - a cheeseburger. Yum!

We had a busy house. I had a ton of grooming. Yoshi is not feeling so hot. See her blog.

The dogs have been playing with the cooler weather as if the coolness has invigorated them. Me, I still want to swim but it is cool. You snooze - you lose.

The dogs are happy and that makes me happy!

Fall Weather

Here is the gallery.

The weather is very cool and the dogs played like crazy outdoors. Harlow and Buddy laid next to each other on the couch. Buddy departed. Harlow may have to get drained again soon. 

The dogs ran, played and had a roaring grand time. Many departed today. School will begin and the visitors will drop off as people don't go away. 

Hang Out Times Outside

Here is the gallery.

I did a lot of grooming today as dogs departed. Air Canada is giving grief to some trying to get home still.

Dogs have enjoyed being outside immensely. 

Harlow and Buddy fell asleep on the couch outside while Dennis sat with them.

It was a GREAT day for the dogs weather wise and fun wise.

Outdoors Play

Here is the gallery.

I still have quite a few to comb out but really want to crawl on to the couch and nap. 

Nes was here for a groom and played his heart out. He so enjoys it. We have a number of dogs here for the day or overnight. 

Nathan soaked his back in the pool. I haven't been in the pool in so long. It has been a summer.

I am tired so we are short blogging. I even got the puppy blogs done late as I was grooming. Sorry about that!

The dogs are having an immense amount of fun!

Warm and Hanging

Here is the gallery.

We drive all the way out to Fortinos in Woodbridge as they are the only ones that carry Italian Ice, that I know of. I get the rainbow, lemon and orange. The rest are awful - incase you like Italian Ice too. It is a drive and wish we had one closer to us.

I also had to go to Deboers to get a battery for my clipper. My old battery lasts about 10 to 15 minutes - not enough time. They don't make these particular clippers anymore so when this battery goes, I am told I need to buy a new clipper. Not sure why the batteries will no longer be made. Like anything, they want you to buy new but when it works - well why?

We had dogs come and go today. They so enjoy hanging outdoors with Dennis. The weather is warm but not hot. It is enjoyable. Those that don't want to go outside at a given time find Nathan and the tv room comfie. I have dogs that I rotate out in the room the pusp in so I can comb them out, check bums, ears etc

We have been going to bed earlier lately. The dogs don't mind and its only a half hour earlier. I am sure some dogs know the time but others don't. But last night Ziggy jumped in the pool - yes jumped so I had to rinse and dry him putting me way past my normal bedtime. He best not do it tonight. LOL If he had fallen in, I get it but he JUMPED in. I guess I should celebrate another dog jumping in but not just before bed. Let's see if he does it tonight. What are the chances? Yes, I am so laughing!

Kisses Outdoors

Here is the gallery.

Dogs enjoyed the outdoors today. I was mighty busy and trying to relax. Nathan is very sore but pain pills are helping. He just moves slow. Hoping he is better tomorrow.

Dennis sat outside with the dogs and they got a ton of snuggles.

Dennis is about to go outside again. I may sit on the recliner and if I am not careful, I may fall asleep. 

We had a duck in the pool and the dogs went crazy barking and the duck stayed in the middle as if to say hahahaha. The duck was right. It was safe.
