Dreary Weather

Here is the gallery.

A number of dogs are departing. Trigger and Katie departed and Katie was over the moon happy to see Shannon - oh yes the dad too but she's so in love with Shannon. It was wonderful to see.

I did brush out a number of dogs and washed the few departing today. The crew that I took photos of look like they never saw a comb but they did. LOL I still have 2 more to wash and groom so I am pacing myself. LOL

Weather is dreary but better than rain! Dogs are having fun. They are having lamb tonight.

Whenever Nathan gets ground lamb as a topper they lick the bowl clean.

Baths, Grooms and Departures

Here is the gallery.

This is Mr. Petey. Kept trying to get a photo of him and he was a movong target. He had his dinner late as he had to have a full groom before depature. He was a happy boy as he had the rest of a chicken leg - just the meat - no bone, of course.

It rained off and on all day. Now the sun is out - of course. Lots of dogs departed and some arrived. 

The dogs are having a TON of fun. Inside, outside - it doesn't matter. 

I need to make myself dinner as it seems everyone else ate here. LOL What's that about? I am almost too exhausted to cook. 

Katie didn't want to go out in the rain but Trigger was playing up a storm. Hazel was caught barking at a blue jay. 

New Visitors

Here is the gallery.

Katie and Trigger are here visiting starting today. To say they were excited was an understatement. Trigger is always watching for Katie. She's MY gal. 

It says it is 70f but it feels downright cold. I have a long sleeve shirt on, pants and socks. I am THAT cold. It's a no swim today but the dogs enjoy themselves immensely.

Hazel and Socks are tight - two peas in a pod. It's nice to see. 

Jax is in the middle of everything. In, out and about they are having a blast.  Petey and Ollie are here and are indeed in the thick of things. They depart tomorrow after grooming. The 4 Kershaw crew will be departing tomorrow as well. The house will empty out but I have to say - a blast was had.

Hope it warms up but I will be grooming so that's okay if it doesn't!

Wet Noodles

Here is the gallery.

Yep, we are all drips as it has been raining. We get out and we get wet and well we get to be a mess. We are trying to keep Lachlan clean as redoing him may be a big job but at least the dogs are playing indoors and having fun. Each time it stops, Dennis takes them out and then it pours and he brings them back in. 

As I am typing, the sun has come out brightly for the 1st time today. Now, as I am typing, it is cloudy again. You can't win. 

No matter the weather, we still enjoy!

Who Fell In?

Here is the gallery.

Well Rain fell in and Sage jumped in. LOL I had to wash and dry them after. One wonders why I don't take a bunch in? I am allergic to the extra work. 

Today it is Dennis day off. Tomorrow is Nathan's. They say that this is the last for a week of warm weather. 

Dogs had a blast. 

Hazel was biting the hose water while I watered. She loved it. 

Mabel and Velvet are really enjoying themselves with the 4 Kershaw dogs. We have not seen rabbits for a bit. We do see cardinals, bluebirds and bluejays. Lots of dragonflies. 

Despite it being his day off, he played hide and seek with the dogs. He hasn't done that for a bit so they were so delighted!

Bad Weather Coming?

Here is the gallery.

Here is Ellie gal as happy as a clam. Coco was here too and they had a blast.

We had a couple of new dogs that arrived and a couple more tonight. 

It started out cloudy then hot now we are waiting for a big storm. Dennis is betting on it so he doesn't have to water. LOL

I transplanted my tomatoes that we started over the winter and they already have tomatoes on them. They were looking mighty frowny - is that a word but perked up today. 

We have not seen any rabbits and Harlow was downright sad always looking but she is back home where they do have rabbits, I bet she is a happy gal!

We have Blue Jays, cardinals, bluebirds and a TON of bumble bees. The bumble bees confuse me. We always have some but this year is a huge uptick of them in my garden. They leave us alone and just flit here and there.

I still have 2 plants of aloe here free for the taking. I had 10 and 8 are now gone. One is a monster plants and one is a medium plants. If you want, let me know.

Dogs are enjoying this inbetween weather and we are awaiting 2 dogs to arrive. Then Nathan is getting me something so I can sit and watch FROM with Dennis. I just finished cleaning all the couch blankets so they can lay on me. Perfect combination.

Swim or Not

Here is the gallery.

Hazel can swim. Just not sure she likes it. We will have to take her in many more times to get her to enjoy. Socks was smooth sailing and wanted to go in again. 

I am finding Socks is a different dog since Hazel has come into his life. He is more playful, attentive and sometimes she drives him crazy but if she isn't he is checking on her to make sure she is okay. It is obvious they have this wonderful relationship. You never know with an older dog and a puppy but it works for them.

The Kershaw 4 is playing wonderful with a variety of dogs. When they 1st came here on their very 1st visit, they were more apt to be a cohesive group but that unfolded and they find relationships with incoming dogs to be quite enjoyable. 

Mabel and Velvet have been so loveee and fun to have around - truly!

Opus dad has a serious operation tomorrow so we hope for the very best for him in his recovery. Opus is enjoying!

Jersey has turned into a total play monkey. Everyone is having fun.

It was my day off and I managed to have some pool moments. It was a hot day!

Lounging

Here is the gallery.

These pads we got from Tenshi's mom and dad and they LOVE to lounge on them and I mean LOVE to. 

It's cloudy then sun peeks out and then cloud comes back in. 

The dogs are enjoying being in and out. 

I transplanted my tomatoes and they already have tomatoes red on them. I am amazed as it is early but thankful as I love tomatoes that I know have no pesticides.

Chiclet, Cody, Logan and Panda departs tomorrow and Jersey arrives. It is my day off. 

Everyone is having a blast. It is what gives us smiles - through and through.

In-between the Rain

Here is the gallery.

Well not many photos as it was raining - well still is off and on. We get these mini windows of time we can take them out. 

No gardener. No swimming. 

Yesterday was wonderful weather - just perfect. Oh well.

Dogs will go out but that rain comes and they go running for the house - well most of them do. 

It's a dawg day of making the best of it!

Happy Birthday and Play

It is such a terrible photo but our daughter took it. We had lunch out with some of the family. It was a good time but we were missing many. 

Here is the gallery.

The dogs were celebrating too. They had steak tonight - yum!

Tomorrow we have that person coming over to weed. Our son is coming over to help Dennis clean the car inside and out as a present. 

Nathan swam with just Ella and he brushed her out too. I do believe he enjoyed the day and he has leftovers to eat.

The dogs had a blast too.
