As I was grooming non stop today, I asked Nathan to do videos and photos. I took a few but Nathan well we will see what he took. He can take nice photos but he is downright dangerous taking a video. Check them out here. They will be up shortly.
Pups are wonderful playing and sleeping upstairs and downstairs. It was too rainy and cold to do outside.

Nathan's videoing is not so shabby, just different, I like that.
I noticed in the puppies xpen a blanket over a chair, Pixie just loves a certain soft blanket, recently I tried laying it over a chair to make a cave for her to sleep in her bed underneath (blocks out the moon shining through the skylight), wow she loves it, her own little private space. My house is way too small to add anymore furniture, etc stuff, both of their doggie beds are already under the kitchen table and chairs.
Dorothy: We do this with the adults - blankets over chairs and they do love it. Great idea of thinking about it. You really do not need furniture. A crate - a chair all work. We have crates as end tables in the tv room which used to be a dining room. I find the more room you have the more things you put in it especially with 30 years of living in it. We had this house 30 years ago when we had all the kids. We so needed the room. Now we only have Dennis home but that doesn't mean we have room. As in I am trying to figure out how to fit 2 more xpens in here. Dennis thinks the recliner has to be in the hall. I said nah - we will figure it out. We also have plants that need to be removed to be put who knows where as it is simply not warm enough to put them outside. I think the best thing is when you are creative. It's the best! Hows the scissors coming? Have you tried?
Used both the curved (I think need sharpening, or tightening, hair missed a bit, but I managed), the thinners did such a quick job trimming around the feet but left them natural, no harsh lines, excellent.
Been at my place for 35years, one of the last remaining bungalows in the neighborhood, they're all being bought up to demolish to buildup, but not mine, I'm staying put!
I would love a sunroom, but there wouldn't be any sun and I have established flower beds where I might like one. I can't part with them.
Strawberries, that I had in a planter that I had dug into the garden, survived and are growing, yes! Let's see if the critters come back to eat all the fruit, tomatoes like last year, please no!
Dorothy, try tightening. Do a tiny bit and attempt to cut underneath. Is the hair bending or?? Nothing like thinners. :-)
I need a new solution too re eating my fruit. Thinking on it.
I'll try to tighten, the blades are loose therefore they miss, bends hair over without cutting.
Thx again.
Yes scissors sometimes loosen when traveling. Tighten in small increments till you get the cut desired. If you can't figure it out, come here. Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRhho11ro8U
