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. 

Visit and Fun

Here is the gallery.

This is Mac. We had his humans and his partners in crime visit us today - Raylan and Monty. We had not seen them since pre-covid. As they are all serious seniors - age is just a number - it was amazing to see them and their parents. We genuinely love their humans too.

It is Nathan's day off and tomorrow another day off as it is his birthday.Dear miss Bossy pants Coco - and I say that endearingly as it makes you laugh gave Nathan an amazing gift. 

Tomorrow he gets Hibachi for lunch and to see some of the family. Then later in the day our 2 sons will detail the van. It really needs it. He will be happy. 

On Saturday Ozzie departs (will be greatly missed) and on Sunday we have the guy who is supposed to weed and edge. We will see if he comes. Nathan tells me I need to supervise - really?

The dogs had a ton of fun today. 

T.G.I.F - may all of you have a splendid weekend.

Sun is the Best

Here is the gallery.

It's nice for the dogs to be out in the sun. They had a good time outside. Daisy is looking at me as if to say - WHAT!

Nathan went into the pool today but my face still hurts. I did not.

Today Donald Trump got found guilty. 

I may have to have a gin and tonic. LOL

Dogs are really a cohesive crew. They are enjoying each other. 

It makes me happy to see them happy!

It is Nathan's day off and that gardener is going to weed on Sunday. I will believe it when he shows up. LOL

Late in Day

Here is the gallery.

It seems to get warmer as the day goes on and too cold to swim during the morning. Soon I will be complaining that it is always warm. Make up your mind, Darlah.

I had high hopes for the day but it surely fizzled. Dogs did play and did have fun. We hacve not seen rabbits as of late. I wonder what that means?

Two of the sisters were here and had a blast. Socks seems to be playing with the older dogs and Hazel with the younger ones but Socks checks in on her. 

The 4 crew are having a blast. They are playing with everyone.

Sometimes Sunny

Here is the gallery.

Sometimes sunny - sometimes not. This was Magic after her bath and trim.

The dogs had a ton of fun. They also love when Dennis cuts down weeds and mini trees as they pick them up and have the others play chase me. It's a riot. Maybe it should be called Keep away.

No rabbit chasing today. Maybe the rabbits moved on or they are staying very hidden. 

I am doing a short blog today. I have a terrible headache that is going up my face. Maybe its not a headache. Time will tell but it is bad enough that I am going to hug the couch with dogs.

Another Rainy Day

Here is the gallery.

Not too many photos as it rained and Nathan didn't take photos. So, I did after grooming. 

Despite the rain, it finally stopped and they went outdoors to have fun and I clicked. 

This rain has to stop - please.

Sorry for the short blog. It is Dennis day off!

We Run, We Play

Here is the gallery.

Dogs had a blast. Our son came over and mowed the lawn with our new mower. We still need to find someone to weed. We can now see the dogs when they run on the grass. That's a bonus but I think they like it long. 

We have a busy week coming up. It is nathan's birthday this coming Saturday. It's a big one so we celebrate. The older you get the more you have to create memories. 

We have a number of visitors and they are having a blast. Keke departed, Jax too. Pingo went this morning. Logan and Panda departed and Sox and Hazel arrived. Ollie arrived for the day.

Everyone is having an absolute blast. 

Sherry took me to Costco and got some potted plants. I am not sure Dennis took photos of Murphy. hmmm Murphy departs tomorrow but I am not looking at my grooming list tomorrow. LOL I think it is a long day.

It Rained and Rained

Here is the gallery.

It rained and rained and now the sun is out. There was lots of wet feet, mud and play indoors. They had fun. I groomed and groomed.

Oh and the gardener didn't come as it was raining. Makes sense but is it raining tomorrow too? I hope not.

The dogs are having fun. I am eating nachos - 1st meal of the day. Good news with the rain - always something you can say is good - well no watering the pots. LOL But I think the muddy feet made up for it. 

No Gallery Day

Sorry - we had a great day but I handed the memory stick to Dennis after I thought I transferred and I hadn't transferred them. He ended up formatting so they are lost. 

It is ONE of THOSE days.

I planted some plants that I over winter in the house and I went to do another pot and one of the havanese dug up the 1st one. Oh my. 

I hope you forgive me. We all have days like this at times.

We tried to get our mower going. Tried is the operative word. I hope the gardener shows up.

Nathan is going out with his 2 brothers for lunch tomorrow to celebrate his birthday on the 1st. We are getting some of the family together on the 1st for lunch. He is going to have a fun week - tomorrow, Friday his day off and another day off on his birthday. Lucky guy! Best of all he will have extra dog snuggles. I will make sure of that!!

It's the Play

Here is the gallery.

Of course Ozzy is playing and playing with Chiclet.

Yes, the dogs managed to have fun today despite the warmth. Nathan said when did you put the air conditioning on. Amazing he just noticed. Tomorrow is Nathan's day off. 

Dogs were having a ton of fun today. I planted onions and garlic and lettuce in the trug. The dogs watched me intently. 

They lazed inside and outside.

Today Nathan said when did you turn the air on? He just noticed? Well, we have to be comfortable and so do the dogs. 

Don't You Just Love

Here is the gallery.

When a dog looks at you like this your heart melts - doesn't it?

It was a hot one. We had hail, rain, wind and sun again. Mother nature is having fun.

We had dogs depart. Dogs come. It's a full house but no dogs swimming today. It was my day off and well I didn't want to groom more than I needed to. :-)

The dogs had a blast!! I mean a total blast! Now they have eaten and are lounging in back with Nathan.

We found someone to do our lawn and weeding for $25 an hour. He starts on Saturday. It wasn't easy as everyone is booked. He is the most reasonable so we will need to tip him if he does a good job. It's only fair. I get that. I may be proud of my garden again. Who knows. LOL

Well back to the dogs. We have an amazing crew with us. They all enjoy each other immensely. 

They Do Like to Play

Here is the gallery.

Tuppy is laying next to Chai. Chai had a bath and so did Tuppy. Who thinks they look a mess? Now if you saw Maurey in that photo you would see how much he was mucking it up. Well, that is what happens when you are play monkeys. Jango arrived and they welcomed him in a huge way embracing him and getting him to play and then the rest did.

We have a slew of dogs departing today. Cassie the player departed already.

Tomorrow is my day off and I planned to look for 2 hanging baskets. Everyone tells me that they are slim pickings due to the long weekend. Guess I will find out.

Rue had to get spruced up as she rolled in the mud. Oh my - she looks good now but we will see for pickup. 

We got to see Nava. How gorgeous is she. 

The dogs are really enjoying the hose. The mud. They are kicking up the grass and we still are looking to a service to mow the lawn. The stuff is getting as tall as half my body. I am embarrased. I worked on the mower and can't get it started. :-( 

No one wanted to swim. Nathan and I got a short swim in. Will it rain tomorrow?

Sorry a Quick One

Here is the gallery.

Got 2 more dogs to do so extra small blog. Dogs had fun. Many departed - only Maurey arrived. Pingo, Maurey, Tuppy are running the backyard with Cassie. The dogs are a mess. Cassie departs tomorrow. She so needs a bath - like beyond needs one. Tuppy is no better. Pingo and the boys like to destroy each other's hair and I brush frequently. They are having fun. 

We need someone to mow the lawn. If you know of someone, let me know. Our mower does not work and I have no time. So, we need to hire someone. Hoping it is not too much. But our grass is really getting high. Let me know.

Our son came over to walk with Nathan. He needs to walk daily he is told - slow pace, small distance till he can go a bit further. So they took Rain and Hope. It's going to be an experience. Hopefully a healthy one. LOL

Well got to eat takeout as Nathan just got back and go back to grooming.

Warm Day

This is a mini golden doodle. I don't think I see any golden in her. She is visiting for a couple of days. 

Here is the gallery. I did manage to click.

The dogs did not react to her. She was a little nervous at first but getting much better. She is now playing. I swear she wants to jump in the pool. Oh and Cassie did but no one else. I said no to her and it is as if she said - who said! I wanted to swim but it is Dennis day off and I had a record breaking amount of dogs to wash and groom so tomorrow - tomorrow. I will start grooming at 730am tomorrow and hopefully be finished by noon so I can get a swim in. I earned it - oh boy I have earned it.

While Nathan napped, I had all the dogs with me in the hall while I groomed. 

I think I am too tired to type - if you c an believe.

Rue is playing like crazy - bravo Rue. A number of dogs went home. More depart tomorrow and yet more on Tuesday. Wednesday is my day off and I may drop dead - okay not literally.

Anyone see any hanging baskets that look nice locally? Let me know where. I never have time to look but if I know where I can make the time to get 2. I am on the hunt - but if you are too and see - drop me a line!

Sorry - I am tired but everyone had a blast!

Sun in the Afternoon

Here is the gallery.

I brushed Pingo this morning and look at him now. I have to laugh. Can you see? Guess another combout is necessary. There are just some dogs that truly know how to have fun. Shlomo looks like he is ignoring him but Shlomo is trying to catch some resting time but Pingo says - come on.

Dogs are having fun this long weekend. I am about to go to Canadian Tire to get Nathan another gravity chair. Not sure if they make them cheaper or what but his only lasts 1 year. Oh well, it is my birthday present to him. He is also on a new med that is making him feel sick so he is spending a lot of time trying to play recovery. They say it is normal for the 1st month. We shall see. 

It is warm and sunny this early evening. Not great this morning. Tomorrow is supposed to be outstanding so I best get some swimming in. Will the dogs get some in? It depends on how many combouts I want to do.

Butterflies are already in the garden so I guess warm weather is coming. We shall see. 

Two Blog Day: Birthday Next Blog

Here is the gallery.

I have been grooming all day. I even ate while I was grooming one bite at a time with hair - yuck.

We had Brodie and Brewer here for the day. Lexi and Keke got outside despite them not being overly keen with the rain. Shlomo said no rain for me. Harlow stands out and lets it rain on her. Rue likes to watch the pool cleaner move and then jumps when it comes up the wall. Lachlan, Ellie, Rosie, Eilvis departed. Pingo caught eye of that rabbit - oh my. I could go on. I think I am too tired to. LOL

Nathan is upstairs reading a book as it is his day off and good weather is not in his favour. It is what it is but I hear tell next week 80s? Hope that is true. Probably not on MY day off. No, mine is Wednesday and its hot on the days I have a full schedule to groom so Nathan will get those days. 

It is a busy long weekend. Dogs are having fun. 

7 Years Old

How is it possible that Rheo is 7?
He has been an incredible part of my life. He is loved by all, shown his smarts in numerous dog sports and was a great little ‘brother’ to my late Golden, Kinsey, and to my recently passed, Jasper. Now he continues to enjoy life and keep my lap warm❤️❤️

Smiling Fun

Here is the gallery.

Newt has all the gals after him even Ellie. I have to laugh. I will have to comb him out before he departs. 

The dogs had an incredible time today playing. We have dogs coming and going so I am unable to go to class tonight. Rain and Hope also had a bath. Fluffy puppies. 

Mr. Alfie is departing a day early so he just finished eating and was groomed. 

I did manage to lay in the pool for 15 minutes but had too much to do. I so appreciate the 15 minutes but no dogs in the pool today. It's the start of the crazy long weekend. I want to say next week as I always thought of it as the May two four weekend but not this year.

It was an incredible day for the dogs. They will be tired today.
