Monday, September 12, 2022 at 5:37PM It rained most of the day so the gallery is a bit light. When it stopped they chilled outdoors as if to say - ahhhh let's just hang.
Supposedly rain again tomorrow. I get the feeling the pool needs to close but I do not want it to. Oh well....
Sage is in heat so now we get to separate the dogs at night and I get the gals and Nathan gets the boys in the guestroom. Let the fun begin.
Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 5:14PM The dogs had fun inside and out. We had our youngest son Jon come to visit and he had a blast with the pups and well Stormy and Kinsey was over the moon to see him. The others were too but those 2 were crazy to see him. It was not a long visit but I am going to climb into a recliner and take a nap. How unlike me but I need it. Of course a nap wouldn't be a nap without dogs on my lap.
Everyone loved the back yard.

Hi Nathan and Darlah,
Magic is 10 today.
I’ve attached some pictures of Magic enjoying her cupcakes and toy for her birthday.
Hope you like them.

Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 5:11PM Not sure if Murphy has a pool but he decided to go for a swim tonight. He is a strong swimmer and swam to the stairs to get out. Nathan put a towel down on the chair and he rolled in the towel to dry himself. He was a riot! I think Ella was miffed as she wasn't invited to swim but seeing I end up having to dry her and I have other things to do - maybe tomorrow. Not today!
We had 2 puppy visits today so Dennis won't play his games with them till tonight. I also have to finish blogs and try to demat a dog. He's a tough one as he doesn't want to be dematted. Who does?
Dogs really love the lounge chairs. Often Nathan can't find room for himself. It's so funny!
It was a nice day!
Friday, September 9, 2022 at 8:04PM We have a busy tomorrow. Today I washed 2 dogs and 12 puppies. Tomorrow 2 visits.
Dorothy was here and she did an amazing job. I came in after she was here and fell promptly to sleep in the recliner. My knee was bad today. I think I need to create a device that covers my knee at bedtime so the dogs don't lay on it. Ideas? For now I have been wrapping it with a comforter.
The dogs are looking forward to tv time. Can you blame them?
Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 6:02PM I had to share this photo that I received today. This is Meadow who is getting a new sibling from this crew we have here. She is intently watching and perhaps figuring out who she wants as a sibling. LOL
Me - I am mighty grumpy as my leg is unhappy till I take something for it.
Dorothy did an amazing job with our garden. Oh my gad - I mean amazing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You can see the results in the gallery.
Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 4:52PM Dorothy weeded for us and now comes the fun of trying to figure out how to slip her some money. I must do something for you. Bring suit - swim tomorrow? Send me photos so I can make things for you!
I did something stupid I wanted to get bacon bits and pistachios and well our Costco didn't have. I walked around Costco and my knee is slapping me silly as I am in serious pain and taking pain pills now. I guess it was too early and well too much. Now to look online to see if they deliver these items.
We are quieter today. Rosey came for the day - Daisy too. Winston and Ellie is here. Otto and Ringo comes this evening. Harlow departs this evening.
It has been a busy summer but it is getting quieter.
We have a 6 week puppy visit this Saturday but after that and Sunday swim perhaps?
Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at 3:30PM It's been a warmish day but not hot. Nathan is taking his naps with the dogs that wanted to go. They all know the drill. Ellie decided Dennis is his human so she hangs out with him. She plays with the other dogs but knows where Dennis is always.
Archie departs tonight. He has had a fantastic time. It has become quiet.
I have been using the pool pump for washing. It works. I am glad. I am going to take off the end to see if I can get more pressure or does that work the other way? We will find out. LOL
The dawgs - as usual are having a great time.
Tomorrow our electricity will be out for maintenence the electric company tells us. Oh what fun.
We have 3 dogs coming tomorrow longterm. We are excited!
Monday, September 5, 2022 at 6:32PM House is emptying out. Labour Day is coming to a conclusion. Some coming tomorrow. Wish teh weather was nicer for those that are away. Think it starts to warm up tomorrow.
Dinner was interesting. No tag team barking for dinner - Benny and Harlow. Harlow departs Wednesday and Benny departed today.
The foursome depart tomorrow and so does Archie. You would think that the dogs departing leaves lots of room on the bed. All it means is the remaining dogs spread out. LOL This is so true. Same with the tv room.
We had a mouse on the deck. That usually means when it gets cold they will attempt to come in. :-( The dogs chased the heck out of it. No one caught but boy did they get excited. I hate mice and rats. Oh my

Here is the gallery.
It was a cool day and the weekend is coming to a close tomorrow. Dogs will be departing - well some today - some tomorrow and then it will get quieter.
I am grooming like crazy so short blogs across the board as it is already 7pm and I need to demat a dog plus my ricirculating bathing beauty died and Dennis is going to try to resolder the wires. We shall see. Not sure how he will do it with one hand but its taking me twice as long to groom and a new one is over a grand. We will figure it out.
Dogs had a ton of fun. I think they enjoyed the coolness. Me - I want the heat back. I can't even wrap my head around cold again. Oh well....
Saturday, September 3, 2022 at 7:25PM I was getting upset with Dennis as he simply is not taking enough photos and he looked at me and said you do realize I have to click with my right hand that is injured. How stupid can I get.
Today Willow and Ella went into the pool and they so loved it. Everyone was watching and relaxing. It was a huge treat for them. Chester, Kally, Daisy and Nava went home today. We have more departing tomorrow. Long weekend, I guess as some depart Monday. Gorgeous weather.
Dogs had a new game - pick what hand or pocket the treat is in. Dennis - so funny but he loves to work their minds.
Friday, September 2, 2022 at 6:13PM The dogs had fun today. The garden is a disaster but I live by the motto - do what you can and the garden will wait till next year. It's okay.
We have not booked our pool closing. I hope we have warm weather through the month. The closing of the pool means summer is over. I hate summer being over.
Dennis did a hunt and seek game today and there were a lot of winners but not to worry. We make sure everyone gets a treat.
I cooked up bacon and we broke up pieces to add to their food tonight. They went yum. Not a single dog turned up their nose at that addition.
It was interesting who was playing with whom.
Thursday, September 1, 2022 at 5:53PM They are already gathering for tv time. In the tv room (used to be a formal diningroom) is a 3sectional reclining unit. On each side is a crate with doors open or removed. On top of each oversized crate is a bed on top so someone can sit in the crate and on top. To the side is 2 recliners with stairs up to them. There are stairs up to the main couch too. It also has an ottomon etc. It is mighty comfie for all and the dogs love it. Despite all those comfie spots, Nathan finds himself under dogs as he watches tv. It's a riot!
It was a lazy day. Dogs enjoyed the sunshine. Nathan swam. I was not up to it. Life but the dogs had a blast!
