Fun Play

Here is the gallery.

One of our puppy people, Becky and Ron lost their daughter. I am so sad for them. Life sucks sometimes. Our heart goes out to the family - truly!

Dogs today played inside and out. It is Dennis day off so not lots of photos as I was grooming as well. Tomorrow I am off and I so need it!

I groomed a dog that took 3 hours. Why? He kept moving on the table and didn't like the clippers. It was a challenge in making sure I cut straight and not cut him. He is an old dog with doggie dementia. I kept snuggling and taking my time. He came out decent though his face I didn't do all that I wanted to as he wouldn't stay still. When he stopped moving, I quickly cut then he started again. He is such a great dog but something has got into his brain that bathing and a haircut is not for him. All I wanted to do is snuggle and snuggle him saying it will be okay. Look here - we are having fun. Look treats, snuggles. He must have thought I was nuts. 

I have been selling a bunch of crafting stuff that I no longer use or never used. Everything is gone except 1 thing and they come tonight. I have plans to get all my sublimation blanks organized but it never happens and I refuse to do it on my day off and besides the garage is still not done. LOL It may be if I could bring the dogs out with me.

I tested the dogs today and went sit. 3/4 of them did. The others just looked at me. What does that say? 

Stormy is on a diet. She is very unhappy with me. I mean she is REALLY unhappy with me but sometimes health matters more than those doe eyes pleading with me for treats, bacon - anything she can get. She was having a tough time getting up the stairs so we begin. I figure if she can do it, I may start some exercise routine not to lose but to do a good thing for myself and get healthy. I was looking at a fitbit as an apple is too expensive. I figure now that I sold some stuff I have the ability to get one. We shall see. Anyone else use one?

Dogs are eating as I type. We are listening to music. Nathan went absolutely nuts when Sirius didn't work for 2 days. I finally called though I so enjoyed the silence of MSNBC. He's not even American. LOL When I have free time I am focusing on making things for people for the holidays. I think it is healthier. 

I danced with some of the dogs today between grooms. The dogs LOVED it. Try it. It's a riot and they think I am a riot too, I imagine. They didn't want it to end. 

Still damp outside but it is toasty indoors and the dogs ate all their meal tonight!
