Happy Valentine's Day 2026

Here is the gallery.

I had a pretty bow in Murphy to take a photo and cheer her mom up who had surgery - now home. But I wanted to make her smile. Murphy was saying I know it is warmer but let me in, please. I have to laugh. At least she is consistent. 

We have Nafas and Kandoo here and Nafas was so excited to see her mom. They did play off and on. Kandoo ignored Opus turning her back on him each time he tried to engage till he got the message, Dogs are so funny!

We had gift certificates for Montanas and that is how we celebrated the day. Nathan has a sore shoulder line but it has become so bad that I think it is a rotator cuff which he has issues with since playing baseball in his younger days. He needs to get checked. He can't seem to lift anything and has taken over my recliner and the dogs go oh boy a lap so they join him.

We have a full crew here. Daisy departed and was excited to see her human. Noah and Zoe said oh this place again. I have fave spots here so best grab them before anyone else gets ideas. Chicklet is now home. He had been on 3 legs since his acl issue he had jumping wrong at home. Just a couple of days ago he started using it. Bravo little one and no more pain pills. 

Cassie and Juni are keeping us on our toes. They seem to have similar spirited personalities. It is fun to watch.

Buddy is one of THOSE that is a creature of habit and likes many fave spots. 

Ollie, Petey, Lucky and Ollie are looking for something in the backyard but they are not finding it. LOL Yes, we have 2 Ollies here.

Leo, Marcie, Pepper and Barney well run run run - it's warm enough - hey finally but we hear it is about to drop again.

Did I mention everyone?

Hope everyone is having a relaxing special day. 

Tomorrow I have a ton of grooming so the blog may be shorter and less photos but we shall see what we can do!
