Between Wetness

Here is the gallery.

Inbetween rain the dogs went out. We had off and on rain all day and they say it will be like that all week.

We also had no internet but we have a backup so I managed to still get on. Our outage also made the news. LOL I suspect it was due to all Richmond Hill being out due to an update they did and Scotia Bank was completely down. 

Dogs still did runs in the hall and games. They have been very busy. They are now chilling watching tv in my office and in the tv room as well as hanging out all over Dennis. 

I have to laugh as one dog that isn't supposed to have a bath came in black so I am drying them out and going to attempt to blow the mud out of the coat. Lets hope I am successful. I have NO control if a dog rolls or doesn't. I can act like a crazy person to stop them but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. 

Dogs Do Smile

Here is the gallery.

As we are exposed to so many dogs, it is fun to see the ones that do smile widely. It makes your heart skip a beat.

We have much rain all week coming so today Nathan and the dogs are lounging. Dennis just got finished feeding and I am blogging - soon to do the dishes. 

We have sun out so outside is great at the moment. We all want summer. Will we ever really get it?

I think I recovered from nonstop activity with family being here. I feel old - lol. As much as I exercise nd get healthy, I was exhausted. 

We have a couple of bird baths in the backyard and the dogs were chasing the birds that landed. It is as if it is a game. The birds fly away. The dogs lounge and then it all begins again.

Lounging in Sweatshirts

Here is the gallery.

It is cool. The dogs don't seem to mind. Our pool is not busy. LOL We are recovering from a busy weekend. The busy-ness comes back tomorrow. The dogs are having fun indeed!

I am starting to groom tomorrow at 7am.Pickups all seem to be early and today is my day off.

Ms Pepper departed. She will be missed. Ollie and Petey arrived. So did Ms. Tia! Did I miss someone? Nathan was in charge so ... 

Cooling Down

Here is the gallery.

I have to laugh. Leo drank a huge face of water and Pixie was eating her hair. They so make me laugh. It was a great visit with them. They have now departed.

Family has departed. They got up at 2am to drive back to North Carolina. It was great to see them. I gave a sticker maker to the grandkids as I do not use it that much but they just adored using it so it found a new home.

Now I need to groom a dog and then recover. I am tired after this weekend and I so wish it was warm. I have a sweatshirt on outdoors and still am cold. As a matter of fact I have a sweatshirt on indoors too. I so want a consistent week of heat. We shall see when that comes.

I have a friend doing supernatural with me. It is great to see she is using it and she is having fun. Fun is what it is about.

The dogs are chilling mostly indoors now. A plant was starting to turn brown due to cold and Dennis had to desire to bring the plants in so it is what it is.

Do you read a theme here? It is COLD. :-)

Playing Catch Up

Here is a gallery from the past couple of days.

Just a few photos to share. We are tired. I need to do dishes and head to bed. The dogs had a ton if fun. May tomorrow be more of the sam

No Gallery Day

Just too much going on so no gallery. We have family here so it is BUSY!

No Gallery Day

Just too busy so I will add today's photos to tomorrow's gallery. With family in, it is a zoo here. LOL 

Dogs are enjoying. They have been playing. I did manage to get my exercise in but it was truncated. It is what it is. I could have swam but the girls didn't have their swimsuit - for shame.

Life is busy with dogs and humans.

We Have Visitors

Here is the gallery.

Family has come in and we are busy, busy, busy but in a good way. I was hoping the weather was better but my friend in the mountains next to Park City, Utah had snow. Imagine that so we are not so bad.

Dogs had fun today. Nava was here  for her combout. 

It was a lot of fun with the dogs but we await pickups and then Dennis will watch the dogs while we head out to eat with family.

Dennis vacuumed the deck yesterday. Yes - a wet and dry vac and he vacuumed it. I laughed. It worked.

He is tired of cleaning floors due to debris they drag in. 

Catch you tomorrow.

Busy Week

Here is the gallery.

We have family coming in tomorrow so we will have short blogs all week. 

I just had combed out Hallie and here she is a mess of all messes. I laugh as it shows how much she embraces life. Cassie is sitting next to her. She is still a full of life busy dog that we adore. 

Dogs played. It is now sprinkling so they are inside playing. 

We have much to do as family is coming in a day earlier than we suspected. Dogs are going to love the grandkids. It will be fun!

1st Really Hot Day

Here is the gallery.

The dogs had fun. Me, I had to transplant plants, check sprinklers, exercise and well getting the bed etc ready for the grandkids coming in on Wednesday. I am thankful that I overwinter my plants. I still have cannas to buy but the rest is from plants we bring in. It saves a great deal in new plants as plants are sky high this year. 

We have family coming on Wednesday. I did manage to get into the pool as the dogs watched me. I did that after all the transplanting. I so needed it. 

Dogs played like crazy in and out. They totally had a blast. 

Harlow looks like she is finally putting on weight. She eats 3 times a day.

I think dogs and a couch is calling me. Dennis is still working. 

Happy Mother's Day

Here is the gallery.

If you have canine with 4 paws and/or human - this is a celebration of mom's day for all the moms out there. You make everyone's life easier!

We had a mad dash of play here throughout the day. I did go to the garden center and oh my gad are plants high this year and so is potting soil. The cheap soil we got from Loblaws was filled with debris. I was unimpressed.

This week we have family coming in so it will be mighty busy. It will be fun but lots to get ready for. 

I have 2 apple watch straps if anyone wants for nothing. I use one with a buckle and Apple wouldn't accept a return. One is a magnetic link strap 46mm and the other is a braided solo loop midnight 46mm. They each cost $129 <-- yours for free for pickup. Hate to just throw them away. 

Warm Day

Here is the gallery.

It was a wonderful day outside today. Kandoos mom went way out of her way to make me a cake and bring me Italian ice that they don't make any longer. How wonderful is that and we got to see Kandoo too - bonus!

Above is Harlow. She was lounging today outside. She was in heaven. It makes me happy when she so enjoys!

I am trying to go to a garden center tomorrow. Went to the Farmer's market closeby but they are not going to do plants this year. For shame. 

Hoping everyone has a wonderful mother's day. 

Getting Ready

Here is the gallery.

We have family coming in so we - well Dennis and I are organizing the basement so the grandkids can sleep there. That meant moving exercise equipment etc. We also have a bed there so I have to make it and get a lot of cozy blankets down there. They come in next week but I really don't want to do it last minute. 

Pictured here is Pippin giving my leg hugs while I clicked. He is such a loving boy.

The sun was out bright today. The dogs loved being outside. I am also trying to get the pool ready. They say one day next week may be swimming weather. It feels so late this year for heat. Oh well.

It is Mother's Day this weekend so I hope everyone celebrating has a mighty fine day.

I do believe the dogs were in heaven to

Chills Coming

Here is the gallery.

Frost they say tonight. We just put on our air. I am so laughing. Have to cover plants. 

This is Bailey jumping for joy. 

The dogs found the rabbit today and chased the poor thing all over the yard despite me saying NO!

Nathan is sick so he has been in bed all day. 

We had fun despite the cool. 

Family coming next week. It is going to be crazy busy times!

Lounging

Here is the gallery.

Wonderful weather for lounging for humans and dogs alike. Poor Nathan has major allergies so he is miserable. 

Next week our grandkids and son and daughter-in-law come to visit so we are busy getting the pool ready and the bedrooms they will use. It is going to be fun - busy but fun. 

Pippin was in pure heaven - well they all were sitting outside. I need to clean the air conditioner before we can put it on. My office is mighty warm but still the dogs come to keep me company. They love like none other.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day. 

Warm Day for Play

Here is the gallery.

The dogs had fun. Life is good in and out. The play is - well ongoing and maybe they are celebrating warmer times. 

Our outdoor furniture is out. The dogs are laying all over it - us too. I actually got to sit outside today to play on the ipad.

Wjat about you?

Winding Down

Here is the gallery.

It has been a mighty busy time with the dental clinic, visitors etc. It is starting to wind down. 

Our pool is almost crystal clean. We have an issue with our pool cleaner. Nathan doesn't want to do it manually and 2 of the wheels on the polaris are not turning. It is cleaning - just not as well as usual. We will figure it out.

3 of our visitors departed. 4 More had their dentistry done. They arrived at 730am. We are done now till next time.

We did see an adult rabbit and it was frozen in the backyard. We figure it is mom. I hope she is not looking for her babies as they are not here. We also got rid of the raccoon. Dennis kept using the hose on it lightly till it figured out this is not the yard to have its babies. It was huge in the tummy. That is all we needed. I swear we live in the country.

I need to get out to plant some of the succulents we still have under lights before it rains. The forecast says rain yet again.

Sunday Sunday

Gus and Bonham was playing their hearts out before they departed today. 

Here is the gallery.

This blog will be short as I still have dogs to groom before bedtime as they are departing early. I figured if I didn't stop, I would not get this blog done, I am way tired. 

They played and played and played today. Every single dog had a ton of fun. 

What a Riot

Here is the gallery.

Only Malla was brushed. I have a lot of dogs that I groomed and many more tonight so no one was brushed out in this photo except Malla who was departing. 

The siblings are having a great time. 

Pippin joined us and is having a fun time. 

No rabbits - and I need to get busy grooming. 

When?

Here is the gallery.

Pool is not quite ready but we need to get it ready for the warmer days that are coming. 

We have not seen rabbits for a few days now. No one looks for them either.

Dennis is making dinner as I type. 

Thank you to Lulu's mom for her desserts she made - yum!

Dennis ran with the dogs outside, They were in love with the crazinEss.
