Wet Wednesday

Is it wet or what? Teddy and Rusty are here. They are truly enjoying each other.

We are starting to take temps on Sage.

Here is today's gallery.

The cover is not on the pool yet but even with rain, it is relatively mild.I can tell the dogs that know are in waiting for the cover.

It is tv night with a VP debate thing going on so popcorn and a big old drink. Nathan is napping but he enjoys reading and seeing the snippets after.

Maybe I should take a nap too. :-)

What a Day and So

The dogs are always playing in the kitchen from the moment we get up till bed time off and on. They play outdoors or in the halls upstairs too doing the run game if the weather is not good.

Here is the gallery. Sage is the top photo and you can see her belly but I placed a gallery in Sage and Cinnamon's blog. Cinnamon is huge. Sage will have 4 pups.

The dogs had fun today. I made turkey today so they went yum - that means extra treats for us and it did. They kept smelling the air as the smell permeated the entire house. They all ate with gusto.

Nice to see them so looking forward to dinner.

I am feverishly grooming everyone's dogs before more pups arrive so I skipped mine today.

Crazy times...

Running and Play

Here is the gallery.

They run, they play, they have a grand time. They say this week the cover will go on and then the bouncing fun begins. It ought to be fun as some have not been on it. Time wil be telling. Will have to take a video of that.

It's the start of a busy week. Nathan stress test tomorrow then the next day results of all his tests.

Class tonight for Nathan. I will do tv time with the dogs. LOL

Harlow departed last night. No one singing for their breakfast

Thursday another xray for Cinnamon to get a better idea of how many. Sometime the end of the week for Sage. Then days after that Cinnamon.

Tomorrow we have to move couches inside and out, lawn furniture and all that stuff. We will leave two chairs and a table out. It is waterproof so it can stay out all winter, if desired.

Oh the season is changing and I already miss summer. Six more months till melt and warmth. But if we get snow, it means paths and fun snow shots and well lots of clothes. Not for the dogs as we do not do that. We used to but by the time I get the last dressed, the 1st is coming inside. I find they just stay out a shorter period and appreciate being able to have free movement.

We are cooking turkey tomorrow to tie us over. We love turkey and stuffing sandwiches with or without gravy. Nathan never gets a large turkey. He always says this is the biggest. But it is just the 3 of us. makes sense to do it early as moms and all have their own timing. We shall see.

Remember When

It's Treasure's birthday today!

Roxie and Spicy

Truffie in playThe late ShoshiThe late RisaMs Fiona

 Snow - it is a coming some day...

No photos today. Only some memories. It has been raining so no one clicked and I need to groom Harlow before she departs. I also have to get Sage's whelping box set up.

Happy Sunday!

Yesterday and Today

Here's a gallery from yesterday and today.

Dogs are having fun. It's a no rain day - hooray. I am over the next few days playing catch-up on groomings due to Spirit having her pup.

Did get everyone brushed out. It's the weekend - really. Have to buy food. We are out. Nathan says not on the weekend. Borsht was delish and Dennis ate all the cornbread. LOL

Pool may get closed next week. It's time. Then all the fun will begin with dogs running over the cover. I can't wait.

We had many running games today. As I type, Dennis is sleeping in the recliner. He is adjusting to night shift once again.

Pingo Update

Happy Fall! 

I hope the family and all the pups are doing well. So looking forward to the new pack to be born. Cannot wait to follow their little puppy journey on the blog. 

Had some pictures taken of Pingo and wanted to pass them along! :) I think he looks so much like his momma Stormy and acts as free spirited as her too. 

Feel free to post on the blog if you’d like. 

Hope your weekend is restful,

Tegan

--------------

We will return to our usual gallery of dogs etc tomorrow. I so hope you enjoy this pingo update as much as I do!

Visits and Amazing People

Leo and Pixie came to visit with their momma. It was great to see them. She really takes care of their hair - bravo! She shared some Borscht that she made - yum! Thank you, truly!

Here is the gallery.

Maui, Nami's brother was here and oh my gad are they are riot in their play. I will try to get a video or 2 up. Maui was a funny moving target on the grooming table.

Murphy came to visit. Tenshi and Murphy was in a tiny little crate together sleeping. We leave the doors off but some like their own space when they catch zzzs and some like the couch or chairs or beds. By the time I grabbed the camera, Tenshi decided she wanted the chair instead. Maybe it was too crowded. Harlow always grabs the back of the couch and Brewer loves the leather recliner. It must be cool to the touch.

It was good weather then rain. We had to have an electrician here as we had an issue so he was pushing cable through the walls. I am glad we have heat as it is getting cooler. Still have to clean and organize the garage so we can park inside. So much to do, so very little time.

We got a call this morning that we were supposed to be doing xrays today. Hmm thought tomorrow. So, Nathan did that on his day off.

It has been a day.

Rain and All

Tenshi_galIt wasn't so bad out this morning and after Opus departed, the sky opened up. It was so bad that the kitchen got wet but maybe another eaves trough repair? <sigh>

Tenshi paid a fair bit with Raven. You will see it in the gallery.

Here is the gallery.

At least its not too cool as our heater seems to be blowing out cold air. Got to love it. The g-ds up in wherever that is or whomever it is says you need a repair to make life interresting. They are too preoccupied with us.

I did wash the moms to be and did belly shots. You will have to look at their blogs.

As it was wet out there (thank you for pads) no one wanted to go out excepy guess who... Nami and Halle and we won't talk about the 3rd and they look like drowned rats. There is always someone who keeps you on your toes as they believe you lead a dull life. Rain all week - they say - cold air from registers - guess time to shut down. No need to blow that cold stuff around.

Now to lay on a couch, be blanketed by dogs and be in heaven!

Playing With Nathan

As it was Dennis' day off, Nathan had his hands full. I was grooming all day - longer than expected.

Here is Bailey playing with Nathan after she got groomed. She had a chance to play with the puppy, Opus today and with the Nami. She seems to enjoy all.

Here is a small gallery.

They say it's the last day of heat and it will rain and cool down starting tomorrow. For shame.

Harlow is a picky eater at home and here she sings for her dinner, gobbles is down like its her last meals - she can't wait for it.

We now have gals in heat - too young to breed and Leti - not being bred again. So, the boys are driving us crazy. Xrays this Friday for 3. Nathan's day off tomorrow.

A tall glass of gin and tonic and a debate for tonight. Let's see how that goes.

Dogs are truly enjoying each other.

Nice Day Again Wow

It's a no groom day other than Ellie and well Jeannie who needed hair out of her face but it was supposed to be a day off.

Nathan is off to class tonight. I am blogging. I have a very full day of grooming tomorrow - Wednesday a puppy - the last departs. Thursday Nathan is off and well Friday - shall I look?

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are REALLY REALLY enjoying this weather. They are relishing their time outside. Mem I am going to watch the Boys with Dennis before Nathan departs so short blog. But know the dogs are truly having fun!

Celebrate Warmth

Such a warm and magical day out there today. Tomatoes will not survive the cooler weather coming but maybe fried green tomatoes? Have to learn to be creative.

Here is the gallery.

Dogs were playing but not full steam running around the pool. We need our cover on. Do not have a date yet.

Harlow is still singing for her dinner. She truly does. I have to take a video of it. You can't make it fast enough. barney is truly enjoying the fun. He rather likes the girls. Who can blame him. The puppy Opus seems to try to engage him over and over. He doesn't seem to mind.

It was a great relaxing day for the dogs filled with play here and there.

Oh That Play

Lexi was not intimidated by Hallie in the least. Reality they were playing and having the time of their lives!

Here is the gallery.

We have more photos today as I was clicking. Nathan is playing recovery as he is now off the new meds the doctor gave him. Amazing what meds can do if they don't agree with you. I was worried about him. Although he is resting, he is much better. It is Dennis and I holding down the fort. Several dogs departed. Tomorrow Barney comes for the day. I am celebrating getting plants in. When we pulled down the vines, there is damage to the stucco and brick and in the basement area so bad that the foundation has to be repaired. Yikes!

The weather was amazing today and the dogs and I celebrated that pool or no pool. Sometime this coming week, I have to hunt out any holes in the garage and fill them. But unlike Dennis, I will use gloves and a mask and goggles. LOL I may put an xpen across the garage seeing we won't have pupies and place a few dogs out so they can get some noise conditioning. We shall see. I am alwaus looking for new things to expose them to.

We got back to our game - hide the treat and they said - what took you so long?

One of the families that went home with their puppy (Leo's - 1st born's family) brought us homemade dog cookies and I want to say the dogs LOVE them! I will have to ask for the recipe. The dogs thank you for them profusely!

Relish this weather. Rain coming all next week.

Long Day

Started at 745am and finished at 8pm - 7 dogs. As this is Dennis day off, I have to start cleaning the pen, doing dishes, making tomorrow's coffee, changing out the pads and i will drag my ahem into bed and crash. It's been a very long day, Nathan only took a few photos so no gallery today.

We had a fun bunch. As Nathan had a dr visit - 1st set of tests is good other than high sugar - heart next week - well I had all the dogs to myself and I was also grooming so they were all with me. It was an interesting day but now I need to get busy so I can go snuggle with the dogs in bed.

Exhausted is an understatement.

Dogs are all good!

Ragamuffins

Take a day off and look at the mess they get in.

Here is the gallery.

Zoe, Abby, Coco, Tenshi and Brewer dropped in. Brewer and Coco will depart soon. They are really a tight knit group today really enjoying each others company.

Tomorrow is an insane day for me. Kally gets a bath to depart on Saturday and I have a lot of grooming to do. It is also Dennis' day off. I thought of doing something unusual today but instead it didn't happen. Still have a few hours but did eat lunch outdoors and the weather was absolutely wonderful.

I am TIRED of things breaking. Soon there will be nothing left. We did manage to get all the plants in that won't be allowed to die. Progress till life gets extra busy again.

Maybe tv time with dogs is in store and welcomed!

Ollie TV and More

Chester is homeward bound tonight. Murphy departed earlier.

It was a very warm day - in the 80s - wow = 7os the rest of the week. Dogs love it. I wish I was swimming. Oh well. Can't have everything.

Here is the small gallery.

Ollie was at our house the day before this video was taken and was home sleeping when they video taped it. Here is the  video and he was so excited to watch himself and Nami play. Hope it makes you smile!

Lean Blog

Two pups departed. Another had a bath. We had comb outs and the gardeners were back to do clean up so our yard was only accessible to the dogs between times. So no gallery but the dogs still had fun. No gardeners tomorrow so we will go back to our usual photos. LOL

Dennis is freaking out in a big way as our trees and garden is rather sparse and cut back but it was needed so we can start anew. Even our Japanese maple was trimmed back and I cringed about that but I embrace the start anew so it can get overgrown again theme. Every now and then you have to do a hari kari on some of it. LOL

It was a warm day. Even when I comb out the dogs, 10 min later or less they look like I didn't touch them but that also means they are playing. I think I would rather the play than just laying around.

Another pup departs tomorrow.

What a Day

We had such a grand amount of fun today but a very busy one. I had a lot of grooming and we are bringing the last of the plants in so that means reorganizing things, moving a couch out and all sorts of fun things. That is why I am blogging now and I still have a ton to do after this blog.

Here is the gallery.

Amy and Brewer dropped in. Murphy and Chester is here. Harlow departed - always missed. Ellie, Winston and Nami played like crazy as you will see in the gallery here and on the Raven blog. They also got into a warranty card - oh boy and shredded it. Hope I do not need it.

It's a long day but just know we had a ton of fun depsite how busy.

Nathan is on a new med and getting queasy from it so he missed class tonight. Hoping he feels better tomorrow as we have pups departing.

Got to go finish everything else. We still have a few hours of work. That means an after midnight experience.

Beautiful Day

When will we close the pool? Certainly after the pups depart. It's just too busy and we have not had a date selected for us from this new company. The dogs love the swimming and then they love the Fall when we have more running space. It's a safety cover that you can walk on.

Here is today's gallery.

We have had a lot of play from morning till night. A few videos were taken and Harlow was in the thick of it. Chester remains loving to the pups and loves his crazy play. Well, Murphy likes catching the sun rays and napping. She takes after Nathan. Ms Coco departed and we always love to see her. We take care of her as she is one of the senior gals indulging her. She likes to eat standing on the chair. It's funny. They each have their own loves and desires. That is what makes the havanese so special.

Found a good local shwarma place that I like. After Rifkas went, I was afraid one would be hard to find. Different than Rifkahs but delish none the less.

Nathan has part 1 of his complete physical tomorrow - blood, urine etc. Wed Cardio. I can't go with him as I have grooming and puppies baths before departure etc. It's a hectic week but many families will be happy with their new addition. The pups are truly outstanding!

Crawling Into Bed

As this is Nathan's day off, I do double duty. I am sitting here at 7pm and wishing I was in bed but the dogs are full of energy and I suspect it is due to this really cold weather. We have all the plants in but 1 and I am not sure but I think tomorrow Dennis will attempt to do it himself.

Here is the gallery.

The dogs ran and ran and ran. Brewer was here and loving it and Coco plays a little but now that she is older, she likes to cuddle and watch tv. Chester and Harlow play like the crazy dogs they are and Chester likes pups. Sometimes they don't when they get a tad older as they have no patience but sometimes they appreciate the young things. Murphy says to Nathan - let's go upstairs and chill. LOL She is a smart one.

Another short blog. Heat is now on so we don't have to wear coats in the house. That Nathan... I guess we aren't going to have the door and windows open now. Though they say the exchange of air all winter long is good but what 10 minutes of cold rushing through? Hmm and kaching kaching that meter will run. LOL The dogs may like it though. I may have to buy a super sized heating blanket and wrap it around the dogs and I. I think nathan must be in man-o-pause. Yes, I am laughing.

A Day

Here is the gallery.

Short blog tonight. In the last few days we have had the neighbour of fun, dump runs, a son that came over at a distance for his birthday outside - jammed printer over a project I wanted to do for the pups departing. Sizzling garage door opener - needs replacing. Plus there is a ton to get ready for the pups departing.

So, we are busy. I have a cheap printer to set up, things to print out and plants to move in. So... know that all the dogs are having fun. Us, not so much with other things but we are enjoying the dogs!
