Happy Birthday

Happy 9th to Radar

… and to all his siblings. ❤️🎂

Watching the Laze and Play

Here is the gallery.

We had some early rain and now we have sun but then again clouds now. Mother nature can't make up its mind. 

Some played. Some watched. Then they exchange positions. 

Dogs are having fun. Nathan is cooking dinner for the  dogs. Life is good with food!

The Play is CRAZY

Here is the gallery.

The dogs was truly enjoying the play. It was nice to see. Run, run and more run then rest and watch.

Tenshi, Jax, Katie and Trigger departs tomorrow. They will be missed! Ms Sadie is coming tomorrow - fun!!

Coco is going to be thrilled seeing her sister Hazel tomorrow and Ellie will take over her spot from Ella. LOL. 

It is Dennis day off tomorrow. Mine is Thursday. 

I keep getting asked when I am cooking turkey - well not today, tomorrow or Thursday. LOL Maybe Friday? We shall see. Are you waiting for the day?

Tongues Has It

Here is the gallery.

It is almost Thanksgiving and we were able to buy a 25lb butterball. Yum - leftovers and the dogs say this too. LOL

It is indeed cooler. The dogs don't mind but I am finding my fall/winter pants too big. What a thing to complain about but falling down pants are not desirable.

Dogs are departing this week and more come for the next holiday. Those that depart will miss the yum turkey. Hoping they get some at home.

Dogs played hard. They are barking for dinner. Life is predictable and well at the same time not. The dogs keep you on your toes. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Before It Rains

Here is the gallery.

They say 80% rain but now it is 40% and still no rain. We had the dogs out a ton. They had so much fun. Many dogs are departing and more will come for Thanksgiving. We have to get a turkey so we have leftovers for the dogs. Priorities and it is a motivation to cook. Who has time to cook but if I can cook and have leftovers, I will figure out time. 

The dogs ran and played and had a grand time. Those that needed to be brushed was brushed. 

Tomorrow we may hunt for a good sized Butterball - perhaps at Fortinos. We shall see. I may or may not cook it on the day. We shall see. We tend to time it so at dinner the dogs have warm turkey in their food dishes. They aren't spoiled, are they? It makes me happy to see how they gobble it up.

As you are out and about, it is getting to be that season. You may choose to mask up. I already know a friend has covid. So, it is something to think about. I haven't seen her for a bit so I wasn't exposed. 

I need to stain two dog beds that sit up next to your bed. I really need to get it done before it gets too cold. 

If you are looking for a desk that is motorized that goes up and down, Best Buy has 2 colours cheap - white is more expensive, black is cheaper but both a savings of over 500 dollars. 

Playing

Here is the gallery.

The dogs had a delicious amount of fun today. That cover means fun to them. I am glad. That cover means no more swimming to me but it is too cold to swim. It wastes money having heat go up in the air. 

We haven't seen the rabbits for days now. Harlow has looked daily multiple times a day but birds are flying to drink water and she notices them.

We have another large dog here due to a wedding. He is doing well. Though Sage barks too much at him. Get over it, Sage!

The sun is shining. I am not grooming today other than Ellie. My hands are crazy but it should be gone tomorrow. Today the scissors was hard to grip. We managed. I find 24 hours of rest is good.

It has been an excellent day for the dogs.

Cooler Times

Here is the gallery.

Long day grooming. Hands re hurting even to type. Going to make this short... sorry.

It does seem like it is cooling down. Dogs like it. 

Everyone is getting along quite well. They each enjoy each other.

I have 30 minutes before I need to clean up and do all the water dishes and pads so this is it, folks. I need some downtime even if its for a half hour.

Cool Coming?

Here is the gallery.

We are trying to figure out when to take in plant pots. So, we are watching the weather as they say cold is coming and maybe the white stuff. REALLY??? You are lying weather people. LOL

Dogs are having fun.

Charlotte, Jamie, Bailey and Maki go home today. Each will be missed.

Tonight we are going to watch a movie with Clooney and Pitt in it. The dogs and us will be watching. LOL By Monday perhaps sweats. Today short sleeves.

Nathan made wonderful chicken and the dogs and I love it! They eat warm just cooked chicken as if they are getting a grand meal. 

It's Cooler

Here is the gallery.

Tenshi was perfect and now she needds a brushout. She's a beauty messy or just done. She is having a great time.

Charlotte and Jamie are departing tomorrow. They had to cut their vacation short. They will miss the fun. Jamie now doesn't mind the cover. Bravo!!

Trigger is a character as of late. He seems to really be in his element. He nudged and nudged Katie till she went on the cover then pounced on her. He was really really full of himself today.

Ms Harlow seems to appear to be miffed as she is not finding the rabbits. They probably got big and moved on. 

Dennis wants to buy a cheap drone to look at the roof of our house. What an excuse for a toy. 

It is my day off. I took a nap with a few dogs. Nathan took a nap with a few dogs. Dogs are all rested. LOL Now to figure out what day I can get off next week. I wanted Nathan to pick me up Hibachi but he said he is not feeling well. 

The dogs are eating right now and Dennis added a bit of turkey bacon. He said we needed to cook it before it expires. His excuse to have the dogs get a treat.

Scents and Rain

Here is the gallery.

Bailey is getting her scent all over this recliner. It is NOW her spot. 

It is Dennis day off so I was watering plants outdoors and then the rain arrived while Nathan was taking his nap. 

I want to say Happy Rosh Hashana to those that celebrate. May it be a sweet New Year!

Tonight I have a dog to fully groom as it is debate night and my day off tomorrow. I have to figure out the timing. 

Dogs hate the rain - even Jamie. I have been changing pads and water non stop. The water dishes that I add blocks of ice too they go to 1st. Don't tell me dogs do not enjoy cold water. So all seasons we add ice. We have these things we got from M&Ms that have dessert in them. We clean and add water and freeze. It is the perfect size.

The dogs despite the rain are having fun. 

Pool Covered Shots and More

Here is the gallery.

Trigger was attempting to come to me for snuggles and he finally managed to get those other dogs out of the way. LOL

This was my last swim before pool closure.

The dogs LOVE LOVE LOVE the pool cover. Rain was a tad concerned but then said oh yeah - I remember this. They ran and ran as you will see in the gallery all over the pool cover. Jamie and Nava seems to be a bit hesitant but we shall see how the day goes. Everyone else ran all over it as if to say - ah fall is coming and fun is to be had!

I am rather sad it is closed. They are rather happy they have a trampoline and a larger yard.

Stone rolled all over the plants and had white debris all through him. A good brush got it out. I also got a good comb out session with Nava.

The sun is bright. The weather is warm. I guess wrong day to close? Till next year!

Last Full Pool Day and Shepherd Visit

Here is the Gallery

One of our dogs - the human mom is getting married. Her sister owns a shepherd mix that lives in the Yukon territory. Sister wants to go to the wedding - of course but couldn't find anyone to watch during the wedding so we had a test run today. Things progressed well. So, Meeko will be visiting us while her sister can enjoy the festivities. 

Every now and then it is good to have big dog exposures with a well mannered dog.

Our pool closes tomorrow afternoon. I got my last pool swim in. I may get one tomorrow morning. We shall see and then we start concentrating on moving the plants inside. That will be fun - not. Dogs will enjoy the trampoline cover.

Dogs are lazing outdoors. They too are enjoying this warmish weather. Can you blame them?

Waiting for Supper

Here is the gallery.

Jamie and Harlow are the 2 that sing for their supper. It's a riot. They are both so attentive when it comes to feeding.

The weather is starting to get cooler. Tomorrow is our last swimming day. The summer went by so fast.

Dogs played. Dogs l;ooked for rabbits but didn't find amy/ Bees were eating their way through teh flowers as they last hurrah is going away.

I still have a dog to groom so it is a short blog but they are indeed enjoying life! Hope you are too!

Two Blog Day

Here is the gallery.

It is Nathan's day off so I am extra busy. Tomorrow is Dennis day off. Next week I have to figure out.

Our pool closes Monday afternoon so look for running on the pool cover. I already miss the pool. Didn't get in it enough this year.

The dogs love to lounge on the chairs or diving board. They do love comfort.

We count our blessings. We know someone who lost their house in Cedar Key in Florida. Awful mother nature, at times. Here I complain about impending fall. So, silly and minor issue - cold. Always someone going through much worse.

Dogs played and played today and thank you to Oakley the had treats that his momma brought to celebrate his birthday and he so had fun!

Birthday

It was Oakley's birthday yesterday and Momma brought him treats to share and celebrate today!! Happy Birthday!!!!!

Messy Times

Here is the gallery.

I didn't get a chance to comb out everyone today so you get to see what they look like before I accomplish this part of my day.

Sun is shining. Leaves are falling. Dawgs are having fun and Harlow found the growing larger by the day baby rabbits. Boy do they grow fast!

Leaves Falling Already!

Here is the gallery.

We had a good day to be outside. No rain and warm but not hot. Visitors came - visitors went and it is rather quiet. 

We did manage to take a walk. I am tired. What a lazy body I have. Each time we take a walk, I am amazed at how many are afraid of dogs. 

The dogs really played hard today. They enjoyed. We didn't see the baby rabbits and I swear Harlow was MIFFED! Hallie too!

Dennis says he is doing a scavenger hunt with the dogs tonight. Going to be fun!

Rain Arrived

Here is the gallery.

Dawgs are not appreciating the wet. No walks today. Hoping tomorrow is dryer.

Dennis and I watched a tv show covered in dogs. It was wonderful. Now the tv is off. I am blogging and the dogs went to the tv room to harrass Nathan.

They are playing indoors but really who likes wet feet?

Rain Coming?

Here is the gallery.

I have a class Wednesday so I think I am going to switch to a Wednesday day off vs. tomorrow. I was able to change my grooming schedule and it just makes too much sense. So, I can shut my door and concentrate on the class. I finally was able to switch my schedule around.

This is Charlotte above trying to jump down on Dennis exercise mats. It is a very soft landing.

We did go for another walk. Each time we try in a different direction. This walking is good for the dogs - good for Nathan and I gather good for me. Nathan gets tired after. Me, I am not feeling it yet.

I want to watch From tonight on Paramount. I had let it go and just resubscribed. I am not looking forward to the Fall but I bet when the pool cover is on the dogs will. It is like a trampoline effect. It is so much fun to watch. 

Dogs with the coolness likes to snuggle all over me and into the blankets. Our air is still on. I do hope we get 1 more day of swimming.

Dogs did a hide and seek game today with toys and they were as excited about the toys as they are with treats. It was a blast!!

Laughing Dogs

Here is a mini gallery. I have been grooming till now so it's a bit truncated. Sorry! Tomorrow I also have a long day so the blog will be late again.

We are excited to have Charlotte and Jamie back for an extended visit.

Nathan and I did take a walk with a couple of dogs despite my schedule. Can't have any excuses, can we.

Dennis is fretting as the leaves are falling and he doesn't want to deal with leaves. Can't stop mother nature, can we?

I am off Tuesday. 

Dogs played and played and played today. Each time that I watched them between grooming, they were playing and yes laughing or shall I say actually smiling but you get the point.

Dennis ran with the dogs for an extended period of time and they are exhausted. Now it is tv time. I want to watch FROM that I think came out today but doubt I can tonight. Maybe Tuesday. They can and are watching TV with Nathan. I think Nathan has more time than me - naps, tv etc. 

Just like that the weekend is gone.
