Kitty's Last Bath

As you know we had a dog named Katsura and we used to call him Kitty Kat. Now we have a Kitty going home that will be called here kitty kitty no doubt.

Here are her bath photos.

She is a diva or so she told me. Hot air blowing - really? Drying me - really? Bath - no problem. Water no problem but hot air?

This will be the last puppy departing tomorrow. Kate cancelled (Treasured mom due to heat) so we will be swimming I suppose and trying to forget the fun for a day and setting up things for Raven.

This puppy has a long drive home. We did this drive with dogs all the time so it should be okay. We will miss this one and hope they vacation in Toronto or when we go to Ottawa we can connect.

How did we ever get through 15 pups with such ease and fun. No issues - no one trying to be boss. Curious and playful and loving. Someone said moms must be like you glad all the work is done. I will be glad to have less work but boy we miss them madly. Moms do too so we distract them. They get indulged. They are special as it is due to them and all their hard work that you have an amazing loving pup. Our moms - well they are special beings. So happy to hear about their journey. Less work. Sad to not have that fun but we play catchup. I may even get my couch outside. It is an outdoor one.

I always wanted to name a dog Kitty! But I always get boy dogs. Kitty is adorable. What a face on her.

Have to say, the look people will have when this one goes for a walk and their owners say 'come here kitty kitty😆
Darlah, Nathan and Dennis, all of you have worked so tirelessly these past weeks, and even with covid in the background, you have produced such amazing pups. Such fortunate parents to have gained such a special pup as a new family member, congrats to all of you, truly.
Disappointed you won't be able to meet Kate, but this heat is relentless and dangerous for everyone. Stay safe and enjoy your pool time with your own doggies, have your g+t and some down time prior to Raven's pups.🤗

Adorable ! Kitty is so pretty ... Look at that face !
