Instead of a traditional birthday pic, mommy thought you might like to see how much I like getting my teeth brushed ❤️
Happy birthday also to the siblings which includes Mickey, Alvin and Stone.

It's a no gallery day as Sage is whining and digging. Glad I rescheduled all grooming as she is taking up much of my focus.
The photo above is Spirit as a puppy. She's actually got darker as time went on.
We have Harlow, Tenshi and Brie with us today. Brewer is a day visitor. It's a truly fun house but Nathan is napping. I need one as I was up all last night and Dennis is playing with the dogs but I told him not to worry about taking photos as I probably won't be able to make a gallery. :-)
Till tomorrow!

Pigtail mess after just a short time of brushing out the Sage. I laugh as that is what makes them mighty interesting.
We got word that the pool is delayed in closing till next week. <sigh> So no running cover fun for a bit.
Today we have to move couches to get ready for Cinnamon, get a couch in from outside and throw a couch out. So, Dennis is telling me what I have to clean to get ready. Yes, I am laughing.
I am crazy grooming due to impending pups. It always happens.
This is a long weekend and all we have visiting is Tenshi. It's a quiet house.
Still hoping the next 2 deliveries start at 7am. :-) I am dreaming - I know.

Is it wet or what? Teddy and Rusty are here. They are truly enjoying each other.
We are starting to take temps on Sage.
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. :-)

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...
Monday, October 5, 2020 at 4:26PM 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.

It's Treasure's birthday today!
Roxie and Spicy
Abigail letting loose
Truffie in play
The late Shoshi
The late Risa
Ms 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!

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.

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!

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!
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.

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.
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!
Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at 6:27PM 
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.
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.
Monday, September 28, 2020 at 4:33PM 
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?
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!
Sunday, September 27, 2020 at 5:03PM 
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.
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.
Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 6:09PM 
Lexi was not intimidated by Hallie in the least. Reality they were playing and having the time of their lives!
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.
Friday, September 25, 2020 at 8:58PM 
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!
Thursday, September 24, 2020 at 6:13PM 
Take a day off and look at the mess they get in.
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!
Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at 5:05PM 
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.
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!
Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at 5:01PM 
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.
Monday, September 21, 2020 at 8:17PM 
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.
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.
