Outside Play is the Best

I believe today the crew is going to go outside 3 times. They have graduated to 3 outdoor plays and they are getting longer. When we started doing this it was about 5 minutes but they were really young and just starting to walk. Now I catch them trying to run and jump. It's a riot!

Be sure to check out the videos.

All 10 puppies and the 2 moms will have a bath. oh boy will that be a big job. It's about 3 hours to do 10 puppies. Add a bit more time if we are doing photos. Then I have the 2 moms to do. I also have 3 groomings. Then we have outdoors to set up as we have to remove furniture to fit everyone. It's all on Dennis and I. So blogs - we shall see what I can accomplish.

For amateur like me, it would 14 hours to bathe 10 puppies and 2 moms. Add in 8 hours of sleep, I would have 2 hours left in the day. Darlah, you never cease to amaze me!

This little one reminds me of Rusty his/her uncle whe he was young. Gorgeous.

Sylvia I just read your comment and I agree with everything you say. It takes me forever when I bath Rusty and I get as wet as he does

Ronnie, your Rusty is truly a handsome one with a beautiful face (read the front page of all about dogs today) My Tenshi just dislikes me washing the face area. Nowadays, I just put on my swimsuit and jump in the bath tub with her and wash her. I come out soaking wet with hair sticking out.
Unlike Darlah looking all composed and graceful when grooming the dogs, I look like a hot mess haha.
