We are Busy

Here is the gallery.

Heat is still on. I am getting busy with playing with the dogs and taking breaks at figuring out what can go where for the xpens for the moms. 

Right now, I want to quit but I will persist. Dennis is off tomorrow so I am on my own so I am getting him to move furniture with me tonight especially heat presses that are very heavy. My plan is to be done by Sunday. Monday is my last day off till who knows when. My days off aren't truly real days off as when I stay home, the guys still get me to do things. I need to say NO. LOL

Yes, it may take that long. LOL I still have to do my usual stuff too. 

I decided to get PitaLand shawarma on Monday just because. It's the little indulgence that count. 

We have Brodie above jumping on me excited that I came out to play. Ellie and Coco was here playing up a storm and chocolate Coco is here too. Keke departed and she is such a sweetheart. 

The dogs are having fun. 

Hard drive is still dead. I don't have access to any photos other than recent. We will figure it out. I just need to be able to do the videos and photos from whelping. 

They say rainy days are coming. I am actually looking forward to it if it brings the temps down. Are you?

Guess I best get back to making room for the xpens. 

Hot and Heated

Here is the gallery.

Not many photos today as it is too hot outside. 

We have a number of dogs departing. 

I have much to do before pups arrive. It has been over a year so I have collected things that need to be moved to make room. It's a riot the craziness we do that creates extra work but we will get there. 

Dogs really go outside and come back in and lay on the vents. I so laugh!

Heat is On

Here is the gallery.

We do only allow the dogs out in small bits when it is hot and it is still hot.

This is the 3 moms to be. Yoshi is done breeding. Nami and Hallie are getting huge. You will see in the gallery.

A few dogs are departing and the rest are having fun. 

Ms Astro is departing shortly and Dennis and I are going to watch the last of a series we have been watching with dogs.

I am still having computer hard drive issues and if I reboot my work arounds will go away and I won't be able to access my computer so we pray - so laughing. All my tip money is going to a hard drive. Glad we are computer geeks. 

A havanese that is boarding here is eating my strawberries. Haven't had that happened since the late Wasabi. I just hope they love them as much as we do. 

After we watch tv, I will take the dogs out to enjoy the cooler weather. 

Hot and Irritated

Here is the gallery.

Okay, my hard drive is dying so we got it on its last leg till I can afford a $500 new hard drive and pray I can get the files off as that is my drive that has all my photos on it. Of course. I am not happy but there we are. I will pray that it will last till I can get a new one. Joy - not.

Had a dog kick off one of my clippers and it is broken. That repair or replacement has to wait. I am glad I do have 2 other clippers but these were my tummy and feet clippers. We will deal.

More bad news has come today but not getting into it. 

It is hot yet again. I mean every day seems to be hot. It could be snow so there is that!

It is my day off tomorrow so I am hopeful I can get some downtime and not downtiming trying to fix a computer. When it rains, it pours. We just tested the drive and it is truly dead. 

I need to wait to mow the lawn. Nathan can't. The son is in Japan and Dennis is allergic to fresh cut grass where he breaks out and gets a really bad migraine. So, yet another job for me to have on my plate. It's reached a level of - well it is beyond funny. I need to wait till it is cooler to mow. 

Dogs do like to go outside with me but to be honest, they enjoy the indoors and wouldn't you too? I am so thankful we have air conditioning. So, I am lucky, I say! I hope you are too! 

I need to get my act together and get ready for pups coming. I can't be a slacker. 

Can't wait till the sun goes down so we can hang outside. Fresh air is a good thing!

Hope your day is better. If not, my thoughts and heart are with you!

Computer Issue Gallery Added

Can't do a blog fully but I have never missed a day. I have a computer issue that I m working on trying to repair my boot issue so no gallery - no photos. Apologies. I will play catchup with a gallery after the repair.

But the dogs are doing well. They did have fun today. 

We are waiting for rain and hopefully by tomorrow my hard drive will be repaired.

If not, the fun begins. 

Here is the gallery.

The Heat is Still On

Here is the gallery.

We have been wetting the cement to make sure it stays cool on the dog's feet. It is still hot and it will be for days. What an interesting summer but we have managed to make sure they get their exercise but not overheat.

Harlow looked out the door today and decided the cool floor was better than that. Many of the dogs chose indoors. Outdoors was small bits of time. Heck, I went outside and decided indoors was better. LOL

We are on a mission. Every week we seem to do many many dog beds and blankets. This is day 2 as Dennis is on a mission to get them done. I am still 4 loads away. He forgets about it. I keep checking on it. 

Last night I made my bed with fresh sheets and the dogs rubbed themselves all over it. See, they appreciate fresh cleaned too!

Oh My Record Breaking Heat

Here is the gallery.

Well, today Yoshi was bred so come fall, we will have 3 litters. We must be nuts but we had a long lull of no litters. Yoshi is a small gal so she will have small pups - 7 to 9 lbs, I suspect. Her pups would be due around September 23rd. Going to be a full house indeed. 

It is hot today - like beyond hot. We let dogs in and out early and will go out late again and we also had short ventures outdoors. This heat is truly something else. The dogs do not like it but if I am out, they want to be out. 

Harlow had to go in to get her tummy drained and they got the most they ever got out of her. She feels so much better. She was ignoring outdoors and now she is a happy gal. I tried to find her breeder to see if she is stiill around (just incase she wants to hear about her) but have been unsuccessful. The gal is loved and is happy. At 7am this morning she was out trying to see if there were any rabbits. She hasn't done that for a bit. I am glad.

Soon we will be doing tv snuggles. It is Dennis day off and he has been in his room all day. LOL When pups come days off go. sigh But pups will be fun! The cold won't be and here I am complaining about the heat. Can't win.

Miss Mia departed today - over 16 and she is still opinionated. I hear her sister is too. Lola arrived. 

It actually is a quiet house, at the moment.

Oh Down Time

Here is the gallery.

I spent a fair bit of time today grooming so although I always see the dogs betyween groomings or have some join me and rotate them, Dennis and Nathan has spent the time with the dogs. 

It has been a day.

Dogs had fun. They ran aroybd and played

Cooler in July

Here is the gallery.

Harlow was truly enjoying heading outside to enjoy the fresh air. Dennis had a bunch of the dogs on the outdoor couch. It lays flat where you want to and they love lounging on it. They get the fresh air and the chilling time. 

I combed out a bunch of dogs. 

I am about to watch tv with Dennis and eat a green apple Italian ice that I have never had before. Hope it is not gross but I will soon find out. 

The dogs will sit with me and Dennis - some with Nathan and we will enjoy a tv show that we watched yesterday and will continue today.

I am also trying to figure out where we setup the pens and if we have to remove a couch or? One would think I had it all down pat but each time it changes. LOL Mommas are doing well. 

Warmish Day Out

These are 2 Hallie pups - siblings. Jax is a brindle and Tuppy is a chocolate with green eyes. We also have Petey here who is from Nami. But you can go through their blogs to see the pups of the past. Just so you know.

Here is the gallery.

Dogs had fun. Nami has pups coming to board so I will post theirs then. 

The dogs were enjoying this cooler weather. It is supposed to warm up again tomorrow but of course I am grooming all day then. LOL It is what it is.

I had planned to do a blanket for Nami's pen. I want something new but been too busy and lacking creativity. Sherry has made me a number of them so I will use hers after the initial baby shots.See, I am thinking and trying to get ready but still have time. 

Going to lose my August but gain tiny human beings. Imagine that! 

Fun But Hot Day Again

Here is the gallery.

Had a large amount of dogs that I had to groom. Some for the day - and some that were departing that also needed grooming.

Tomorrow is my day off. 

I have a tummy ache that won't quit. I am not sure why. But I want to lay down.

The dogs played. They had a ton of fun. Yoshi is in heat. 

Brewer and Brodie departed and Brodie was trying to eat my pocket as I had duck treats in my grooming pocket so I relented and gave the 2 a treat. I thought it would make his day but he wanted MORE. Some dogs are treat-a-holics.

Hmm a Pool?

Here is the gallery.

Kandoo investigated the pool as if to say - what is that?

Thank you to Kandoo's parents for a great meal - homemade. 

Kandoo's brother and mother hung out together. It was fun to watch.

The little puppy is Tessa and she is having a wonderful time. I do believe every dog is. 

The play is outstanding!

Long Day But a Fun One

Here is the gallery.

Dogs had fun. Weather was cooler so we got way more time outside - hooray! I have been busy doing brushouts. No pool today but that is okay. Can't be greedy, can we? 

It is Nathan's day off so that means I do his jobs and mine. hahahaha

Nathan got bit by something and I think it may be a mosquito but he says it really really hurts. Who knows. He should get it checked.

Dogs are heading back out so I am heading out there with them. I need to water, besides.

I am busy doing face cloths for puppies. I design some so they look nice. Silly, I know but this way they each have new unique ones.

Lined Up

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are having fun. They are funny. Even they manage the weather sticking out their noses to see if it is agreeable.

We do not take Harlow out when it is too hot or smoky till early morning and just before bed. 

Nami and Hallie are getting big tummies. Their xrays will be on August 5th. Before then, I will put belly photos up etc

They are now eating 3 times a day.  

I am tired - apologies - short blog. They are all having fun!

Nathan's day off is tomorrow.

Weather Weather

Here is the  gallery.

Supposedly we are getting rain. I am hoping. I am tired of smoke so we need clean air. 

Dogs get to go out for an extended period early and late till this passes. 

I like the heat as it means swimming but I seem to have allergies to smoke. My nose runs constantly. I am itchy and it only happens on smoke alert days. hmm Can you imagibe what it does to the dogs but Nathan and Dennis have no reaction. Why is that?

Dogs played. They had fun. I have a full day of grooming so I may go to bed early with a few dogs.That is my excuse. hahaha

We still manage to get creative to keep the dogs active so they do get tired. 

Oh Really Heated

Here is the gallery.

Unbelievable heat this summer but thank you as the air conditioning is working.

Many dogs departed today. 

It is my day off tomorrow and I need it as I have a full day Thursday.

The dogs really prefer inside except early in the day and late at night.

The play is grand despite the weather but mostly indoors.

Some real players departed today. 

The dogs told me they want to nap with me. Yes, I heard them - so laughing!

Swim and Play

Here is the gallery.

We took Yoshi's baby Tickles into the pool as she is shaved down. When we take dogs into the pool, we must comb them out. Due to that, I tend to take dogs that are getting groomed in only and do it before they depart. Sounds selfish - I know but its a lot of work. Everyone wants their dog to swim - I know - sorry. I do my best here and there to take someone in. It just works that we can take them in when also getting groomed.

Tickles is a VERY strong swimmer and had a blast. It was fun to see her. 

Astro swam earlier too and she is departing tomorrow. 

We are under yet another heatwave and I have a lot of dogs to groom tomorrow. Personally, I haven't had time to get into the pool but Nathan has. LOL

It is Dennis day off and all the dogs want to be with him. He is sitting outside playing games surrounded by dogs.

Moms and Heat

Here is the gallery.

Yoshi was blessed to have her 2 babies for a visit today. She is so delighted, it is unreal. I can't explain it fully but it as if someone gave her the best present in the world. It is delightful to see.

It is steamy hot today. Dogs have played in and out - mostly in. 

We have some new dogs here and many departed. 

It is dinner time and they all look forward to it. It is yum lean ground beef cooking as I type. The dogs eat well.

Another Hot Day

Here is the gallery.

We always have heatwaves but this year off and on nobstop muggy heat. Thank gad for air conditioning. The dogs would be miserable and so would I. LOL

As you can see, Ollie is getting delicious play and kisses. 

I had a very full day of grooming so I did minimal exercising to keep my streak. It may be that way for a few days. I am actually too tired to do another dog so I will get up at 7am and skip breakfast. LOL My schedule is like this till Wednesday when I will take my day off. Please do not ask me to groom on Wednesday. I need a day off. My day off was supposed to be Monday. 

We have 17.5 old Remy here who will depart tomorrow and come back in August. He is doing well and we have no issue having him back. Besides, it creates memories that I will treasure forevermore.

We do have a full house but it is a fun one. No one seems to be going to the states but some are going to Mexico. 

Tomorrow we have Vivi, Logan, Panda and Benji departing the rest is coming for the day. 

I am so tired today that I probably am not making sense. I need a couch with dogs. I am that tired. 

Still, the dogs had fun. They do not want to stay out. I don't either. lol

Hallie and Nami have just started eating 3 times a day.
