Ripley was playing up a storm and Dennis got a few photos of them today.
Everyone is well but Nathan has to head out to the airport to get Sparky's parents and that means I have tv time with the dogs - just me and the dogs. Due to teh vets and grooming it has been a VERY long day.

When Gizmo doesn’t get his way he flops to the ground with his perfect hips sticking his feet out the back... and he pouts. Tonight he was desperate for a greenie... and it’s not time so I said no... 100 times mind you as he’s very persistent. He’s also very smart, he knows a lot of words. We love him to pieces!

Be sure to check out this next entry for today as we celebrate a 7th birthday!
Tomorrow this blog will be hardly anything - perhaps no gallery. As we are off to the vets with Leti's pups I am not sure what Dennis will have time for. So be warned. hahahaha
There is a series of photos in the gallery of Kai and Willow posing like this. It is heartwarming as they do so adore each other. Though Kai is jealous of Willow at times she so adores her - in true sibling form. hehehe They are both siblings as they share the same dad but even if they didn't these 2 would be this close.
The dogs love the snow but it was indeed cold.
Ripley has found my lap at tv time. It's ever so nice. The dogs - they are enjoying - me too!
Tuesday, January 30, 2018 at 10:34AM 
Ty, Sophie and Kona - may it be the very best birthday yet!

This is what happens when you comb out a havanese. They undo all your handiwork. LOL
Sparky is here for 2 more days and then he heads home. He has had a truly outstanding visit playing his heart out.
Our son took most of these photos and we took a few since the snow started. Dennis clicks whomever goes out with him but today I was grooming so only puppy pix were clicked by me.
Hope it snows more. Love to have paths. Then it can stop by Wednesday so we can head to the vets. lol

Funny how the weather was rain and then so mild and now its ice. See the toy next to Dolly that is frozen in. I wonder how many days it will take to get that out?
We had dogs depart today. We miss them already. We had a fun group. Tomorrow Winston comes for a spa day and Ripley comes for a visit. We are excited!
One more week for Stormy and Raven to be out of heat. I will celebrate.
Can we get warm weather but not slushy - please?
Saturday, January 27, 2018 at 7:31PM We had a lot of fun today. Bonnie came for a visit till 1pm. Bria is sleeping over. Leo, Pixie, Scruffy and Pepper arrived. Barney came for a spruce up. Ms Abs and Bentley departed - sniff! We had a good time. Tomorrow the house empties out and we have a very busy day starting with Bria's bath, comb outs and of course the usual that we do plus the family 8 week visit of Leti's pups.
I really want to spend time with nathan and the dogs so this blog is short but rest assured the dogs had a GREAT time today.
Friday, January 26, 2018 at 7:22PM 
Brewer, Clarity and Farley departed today. Gracie, Tenshi, Murphy and Maggie arrived. Tomorrow Abigail and Bentley departs. Abigail is Bentley, Roxie and Adele's mom. It has been a pure pleasure having them here.
I groomed all day with breaks for puppies, eating but never sat down till now. So the blog is going to be short. I am trying to have tv time with Nathan as the weekend is extremely busy.
Dogs had a great time despite the cold. Off to snuggle with them after Leti's blog.
Thursday, January 25, 2018 at 4:02PM 
It was a very busy day today. Dogs had a ton of fun. Brewer is a riot. I say find the treats and he goes right to the front with our bag that we have at the front that is going to class tonight. Of course there are treats in that bag. hahahah
Brewer, Clarity and Farley depart tomorrow. Abigail and Bentley depart Saturday. We seem to have a crazy busy weekend.
Here is today's gallery and they are all Dennis photos.
I will post photos etc of Kai after class. Hopefully all the practice this week works. :-)

You know the rain we had yesterday - well it got cold and it is now ice again. Dennis took all of the photos. I had a day of grooming.
Guess who is visiting? Abigail and Bentley. It is so nice to see them. Abigail went crazy to see me but so did Bentley. They look so much alike.
Be sure to check Adele's blog to see an update of Finn.
Amy was over for a bath.
Miss Willow should have been wild Willow. You see she escapes through the gates over and over again. Grow little one so you can't do that. She is driving me CRAZY!
Dennis didn't click all of the dogs. He asked me if I want to attach a camera to his head. lol
Tomorrow I have lots of grooming and class... so
It's TV time and the dogs played hard. Nathan said they just opened their eyes, peered at him and went back to sleep. they have had a full day of play.
Tuesday, January 23, 2018 at 5:21PM 
Hagia wants to say happy 2nd birthday to her siblings. They celebrated it a couple of days ago but didn't want to not take the opportunity to say - happy - happy!!!
Tuesday, January 23, 2018 at 5:03PM 
We had flooding in the back due to the rain and muddy prints are certainly coming in the door but they don't want to go off the decks. Glad we have 2. I am hoping tomorrow is dryer. The dogs have had enough and so have I.
You can count on the dogs liking dry vs wet. I am not sure why. Though Risa doesn't care.
We tried hiding the treats in the couch today as a game and oh boy flying cushions everywhere. Not sure that worked but it did for them.
Hoping for sunny times tomorrow. We need some outdoor runs.
Panda and Logan just departed and Lynda amd her daughter in law asked to see Trouble. They got to hold and cuddle with her. Quite nice moments. I should have clicked!
Monday, January 22, 2018 at 5:17PM 
Panda says I know you Trouble and then they played and played! It was a VERY wet rainy day today so we have very few photos. Apologies.
I combed out everyone but they do not appear to be. This rain is a killer to nicely groomed hair.
They say rain for tomorrow too.
We spent a lot of time in the tv room. It's perfect to groom and relax when its so messy. Sounds crazy but it works.
Willow also went for her shots. See Jeannie's blog for an update.
I was going to wash Sparky today but think it will wait till Wednesday as why defeat the job. heh I am waiting for Logan and panda too as its silly to wash and just go out and need another bath.
We played a game of hide the treat and Brewer was the winner. hahahahaha
Sunday, January 21, 2018 at 5:17PM 
What a wet mucky day but it is warmer. It's melting!! If it stays this way tomorrow the pups will go outside seeing that they are apt to get dirty.
Clarity and Farley is coming back tonight. Their mom is selling her home. If you know someone looking for a truly special home, check it out here. It's worth a look see for anyone looking to buy. This means 3 dogs I will have to rely on email to see and hear about. sniff
Dolly and Trouble fit in like they have always been coming. Trouble is being Ms Social.
Rheo's mom sent an update. Please check out Roxie's blog to hear what Rheo is up to.
Rosie departs any minute. She's had a blast. Murphy departed.She decided Momma was more enticing than her dinner. I get that!
Penny wants to be the only one on Nathan's shoulder in the tv room. She was so funny.
It's been a very busy day. I am tired. I can't multi-task. I was iming Bonnie's mom instead of Nathan. Can you imagine if I was upset with Nathan and screaming at him, as much as you can in messages. I would have been redder than I was. Thanks for understanding, Denise.
I used to run online meetings with a variety of famous people and I was able to muti-task flawlessly. Not anymore. maybe it's not age. It may simply be lack of sleep or downtime.
Oh well, I now need to get the galleries up and the videos from the puppy visit. We had a lot of people here. Can you imagine coming out of your bag to look around and see all these strangers? LOL You will have to check out Leti's blog to see how they did. I am still working on the videos and getting them live.
Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 7:24PM 
Bonnie had a lot of fun visiting here. As I had a LOT if dogs to do today, including Leti's pups, I didn't click many photos so I apologize.
Here is the gallery such as it is. It's mostly Bonnie. Tomorrow we have the puppy visit so it may be a lean gallery day.
Trouble is getting along with EVERYONE - humans that come to the door, new dogs etc. Dolly - well Dolly is a play monkey and really appreciates the play here. both are playing independent but are also in tuned with each other. Trouble and Dolly spend a lot of time together - daily I believe.
Sparky needs a bath. Monday he gets one. LOL he has been playing like a crazy dog. Rosie is here overnight and is playing especially with the puppies. Oh she loves the pups. Murphy is like girls week with Saffron. Sure Murphy plays with others but her and saffron have a special relationship. Penny rules the tv room and finds Nathan's shoulders the best. She appreciates the older gals. Her parents will be moving to Calgary so this visit is bittersweet. Brewer arrived tonight and his daddy is off to Vegas for the 1st time. LUCKY HIM!
Dogs are having a blast. I have to say I am too watching them.
Friday, January 19, 2018 at 5:20PM 
Sparky was running like crazy today. The weather was crisp but not too cold.
Trouble and Dolly arrived and oh boy are they having the time of their life. I think they missed visiting here. They both made sure they greeted each dog and in usual Trouble and Dolly style they engaged in play with everyone. I got slathered with kisses and excitement from both and it still continues. How nice for me is that?
Kai did class last night. Check out Saffron's blog to see how she did. Willow is still caught between am I one of the Leti crew or am I one of the big guys. She seems to want it both. It will be fun for her to have Bonnie visit tomorrow.
Such a fun day and soon Penny will arrive and we will have tv time, snuggles and relaxing. After the play today, they need it!
Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 3:53PM 
Tenshi has such a spectacular personality. I love Saffron's pups. They are small but mighty. Their personality is outstanding. From puppies to big dogs Tenshi just plays and plays and plays. She dumbs down her play for the little ones and plays like the big guys when playing with them.
From snow angels, placing their heads into the snow and running, the dawgs all had fun.
Tonight we head to class with Kai.
So short blogs. Teddy, Farley and Clarity depart tomorrow. Tomorrow Trouble and Dolly arrives. Been a long time since I saw them. Dolly used to come all the time but now that she has Trouble... my loss but so glad we get to see them starting tomorrow.
Wednesday, January 17, 2018 at 1:54PM 
Thunder was here and truly had a blast. It was fun for the pups and the adults to have his enthusiasm. Kai was ever so pleased! Kai has become a tad boisterous and has to be reminded that the Leti pups are younger so having someone that can keep up with her was welcomed.
They say you can now comment so comment away and let me know if it is fixed. It did take a long time - sorry. It was out of my control.
We are off to the movies to see Star Wars tonight. It has been a very long time since I got out so it is welcomed. Shlomo departed today. He will be missed. Stormy and Raven is going stir crazy being in heat. Raven wants to cuddle deep in the bed and Stormy is still the crazy gal she is but can't understand why she can't be with the rest of the crew. It is going to be a long 3 weeks.
Elvis' mom sent some tendons over for everyone when he arrived and the dogs think this is amazing. Elvis - you share - why thank you! Clarity even wanted 2. heh
Sparky doesn't like all the puppies but he really likes Kai. Funny how some say - you are okay - you are an irritant. No, I don't have a milk bar.
Tomorrow night Kai goes to class. We will fill you in on that blog tomorrow.
Dogs are welcoming the weather reprieve but they say the cold is coming back from Colorado. Well you can keep it!!
Tuesday, January 16, 2018 at 4:14PM 
It was snowing lightly earlier but not much since the morning.
Thunder is here for an overnight. Unfortunately the photos were clicked before he arrived. I have to wash another dog tonight so blogs will be short. I will try to get Thunder on camera for tomorrow's gallery. He is having a blast! Adele was excited to see him and so was Willow.
Raven is now in heat. What craziness so instead of my recliner or couch being back here, the room is open so we can keep adding girls in heat. hahahaha
Farley decided to do the Risa shimmie in the snow and Clarity pounced on him jumping up and landing on him right while he was in the midst of bliss. Oh he was upset and i swear she thought it was grand fun.
That's the kind of days we have - laughing at such antics.
Monday, January 15, 2018 at 3:59PM 
It was cold but not painfully cold today. Here is today's gallery.
The dogs played their hearts out. We played outside with the dogs and the Leti pups along with Willow. You can see what they did on their respective blogs.
It's been snowing all day. The comments are still getting worked on. We are adjusting to Stormy being in heat till February - wow.
Wednesday Nathan and I go to a movie and Thursday Kai heads to class. Shlomo departs on Wednesday. We will miss his fun. Elvis is having the time of his life. Teddy is trotting and running and having a grand time. He LOVES the recliner and he claims it as his own. LOL Everyone loves that recliner. Sparky, if I blink I think it's Kat.
We played running games, retrieval and Dennis played hide and seek games. The dogs are tired. Life is good! Can I take a nap? LOL
