Oh My, What a Havanese Day

Rufus Wants Food You should see eating time. Yes, we have them eat in the same room and I monitor one side and Nathan monitors the other side of the room. We want everyone eating their own food not everyone else's.

Nathan is the food guy and prepares it all. I am the one that usually but not always cleans the dishes after they are done.

With puppies we are taking turns doing things when usually we are all doing it together. The only thing different is our son takes a shift when we have puppies. He's doing the night time and we are sleeping with the visitors and our crew. Then usually I take over puppy duty in the morning and Nathan takes over visitors and our crew in the morning while the son sleeps.

It all works. Then when the son gets up he starts walking dogs. This way nothing changes just different times for things. Without puppies I groom in the morning but with puppies I groom in the afternoon.

Check out today's photos.

But then when it is nasty on the streets, all that grooming is almost for nothing when they come back with a black underside from their walks but it's only dirt so I give them another brush and baths come before they go home.

Well today we had a really good game of retrieve going on with Scout, Chico and Jasper. Jasper usually has this huge chesire grin when he gets the toy.

Scout got up at 4am to do his business and wouldn't go back to sleep so we will try to get him to do it at 11pm tonight. Will it work? I don't know but we are creative here. What is sleep anyway. ROFL!!

That is what dawg living is about. You adjust and get creative and laugh.

All of the visitors was playing today as the ice is finally completely melting. Tomorrow the forecast is rain and more rain till Sunday night. Think about that grooming. It's okay. I am getting way good in how long I can get each done thoroughly. I won't cut corners but I guess the more you do, the faster you get.

Tomorrow Towser, Zack and Coco comes. More fun...and then Saturday Saki comes over night then Sunday some of our visitors start going home.
