Way sick

I am very, very sick. I think I got food poisoning so no update today. My son is doing a fab job while I stay in bed and crawl to the bathroom. It's really really bad.

Nathan here: It is a beautiful sunny day in our neighborhood. The pool is scheduled to be open in a couple of days and we are now feeling more confident that it won’t snow to commemorate the occasion. I know that Kat will be ecstatic to see the pool open again. To Spicy, she’s never seen it but if she takes after her sire and dam, Kat and Wasabi, I expect she will love it in short order. Truffie hasn’t seen a pool either. I can’t wait to slowly lower him into the water which we keep at a cool 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The very first thing we teach our dogs are how, and where to get out of the pool.  And of course when the pool is open they are never out alone, same as with a child.

Darlah is upstairs in bed fighting off what she thinks is food poisoning. Her only worry was to tell me to make sure to update the blogs. I’m not going to run outside and take pictures. Darlah can catch up with new shots tomorrow when she is feeling better. But I will include this classic photo of Kat from two years ago as he leapt into our salt water pool in full length show coat.

Darlah, hope you are feeling better quickly.
Love this photo of Kat. After all he is Kona's daddy.
I am counting on good weather from here thru summer.
Enjoy your pool this year.
Kona & family.

Darlah so sorry to hear you are not well, take care and we hope you feel better soon.

LOVE this picture of Kat, it is amazing! He is our "dawgs" Dad and we know Breeze loves the water and we think Chinook is going to follow in his Dad's footsteps too.

So sorry to hear how sick you have been Darlah...Hope you are feeling better today as I write on Tuesday night.

. I am hoping for a warm summer so we can get into the water up north. I am excited to help Penny into paddling around with her mom and dad.
