Warmer Inside

Here is the gallery.

It is warmer inside. It just is 4 months away from warmth. I am counting on it. LOL

The dogs that remain are having a blast. 

We have class tonight. It is Nathan's day off and let's see he went for blood tests at Lifelabs, food shopped. Now he has class. That about sums up days off around here.

Dennis doesn't like Landman so it is me alone that will watch it. I can do it while grooming too on the ipad. I have this retractable arm that holds the ipad. I am adjusting to the new headphones that are actually nice as I take the headphones off my head and it stops whatever I am listening to at that moment. I still hate the sound but have to find time to figure out perfecting the sound. For now, I tolerate.

Dogs didn't want to stay outdoors too much. They realize it is cold - me too. I have been playing with them a great deal today. They have had a ton of fun. 

Still trying to figure out the 3d printer. I did a factory reset on it and send out a test. Eventually I will learn how to fix this or that. I guess I was lucky to print out as a much as I have without much of an issue. 3d printers are not for the faint of heart. You really must learn the machine. Oh well - eventually I will. 

Someone gave us these treats for the dogs - believe it was Lola the puppy and the dogs loved them. Of course Stryker is miffed as he doesn't get dinner on class night. He looks at us as if we are mean.

Convinced Newt is part Husky somehow. Loves the outdoors, never wants to come in. He only hate puddles! How is Landman? I hear it’s so good.

Loving Landman, Watching it while grooming. Got so many to do today and tomorrow. It is a great way to make it flow.

Stryker is part Husky to and he is not the only one. They are always the last in. Never seems to bother them but it bothers me so in they go. Sometimes he gives me the side eye when I stand at the backdoor and insist he comes. I am cold so he must be - no?
