Birthday, Departures and Fun

Here is the gallery.

Jersey turned 5 today. She gets to spend it with us. She had the usual birthday steak added to her meal. She was delighted! We do add chicken and ground beef usually but special occasions is steak on the bbq cooked just right. I never saw her eat so fast. It was funny! She seems to like the finer things in life.

Mikki departed the non havanese puppy. He was starting to pull tails and no one was having that. Ms Coco the maltese departed and Gibson the non havanese departs tomorrow. Coco and Doozie arrived yesterday and much to Nathan's amazement snuggled into me at bedtime. They are both serious seniors and are so loving!

It is warm today. Things are greening up. We need to clean the backyard but we are procrastinating. Those leaves we never got to and the pine pieces all need to be blown and picked up or mulched. We have not opened the pool yet but there is that cost and the heater that died last year so we wait.

The snuffle mat remains a HUGE hit. Thank you, Sherry!

Fun but Busy

Here is a small gallery.

It is a crazy day. It is Dennis day off so I am exercising a half hour here and there. I hate days like this but a reality. I also didn't get many photos but Pepper goes home tonight. We had a visitor seeing if she wants to board her dog here. So fun but busy and we also had Coco and Doozie arrive.

We also had the sprinkler guys here but it still feels cold. 

I want you to laugh. My clipper was missing. If I was to buy it new, it would cost $469.76 without shipping and tax. I have 2 of them. I was freaking out as I thought the garbage with the hair on the grooming room had welcomed a clipper and this is trash day so I was outside going through the garbage trying to find the one with the hair in hopes that the clipper could be retreived. I came into the house without it and Dennis was walking down the stairs with the clippers. He decided to shave with it. That is how I started my day.

I also have been printing things. This is my 2 latest things I printed.

I am getting better at printing. 

Cool But Still Sunning

Here is the gallery.

Cooler weather but you can still find them soaking up those sunny rays.

The dogs have been silly crazy today enjoying the cooler weather. I went outdoors with a tshirt and went og my - cold isn't it!

I am still 3d printing and still learning but actually making things functional and attractive. 

Last night the dogs woke us up 3 times barking at gad knows what. No amount of lungs on me stopped it till it just stopped. 

Snow Really?

Here is the gallery.

We actually had snowflakes in the sky.

I apologize as I am so late but I had a long day grooming. In order for me to have tomorrow off, I go a little crazy otherwise no day off for me. It is a crazy process. But it is what it is.

I hope tomorrow is warmer or  quieter or just crawl into bed and stay day. 

I have to rush this blog as I have cleanup, dishes, pads etc. Nathan takes the dogs outside and Dennis does the floors. It is a process. Sundays I usually crawl into bed and scare the dogs with snoring. Nathan never hears a thing. Dogs - well they do and sometimes I snore and they wake me up as if they think something is wrong. It is a crazy process but I know I am loved!

Now off to do dishes. I am 8 minutes behind.

Are You Ok?

Here is the gallery.

Squalls, rain and overcast. It has been a day. Life is good and fun no matter what the weather. You just adjust and enjoy whatever you can.

Dennis had a huge run with the dogs and they got soaked. I am slowly brushing them out and drying. Each day when we do not have clothes to wash and dry, Dennis makes sure we do needing, dog beds, couch covers etc. One can't do a day without washing, can we? It seems to be the case here.

It is Nathan's day off so he is vegging. 

We have arrived at rain saturation where water sits on top of the ground and attempts to disperse. I can't imagine the animals that live under ground and how they cope. 

The Snuffle mat from Sherrie is a raging hit though the puppy visiting here ate the plastic that holds it down. I shake my head at the thought. Puppies try everything.

Pool Cover Fun and All

Here is the gallery.

Inside and out fun was had by the dogs. 

Nathan had his nap with dogs that wanted to nap with him. It is Dennis bday so he has been chilling not having to do pickup, camera clicking etc

It is a sun shining day out. 

We are watching Twisted Metal.

I have a dog to wash. Nathan has tomorrow off. 

Tchibo departs tomorrow. We will miss him.

Here is Looking at You

Here is the gallery.

Rain and more rain. Hardly any photos. Play they did and the snuffle mat is a huge hit. 

Tomorrow is Dennis birthday so he gets his 2nd day off this week. Nathan will wait till Saturday for his. 

I have been busy doing blankets, sheets, dog beds etc. 2 days of laundry and we are not done and we do this a lot but usually not all at once. I had a mound almost as tall as my ceiling. I should have taken a photo of it as it did look mighty hilarious and then the dogs ran through it and suddenly it was everywhere.

Yes, it was mighty funny!

Warm But Wet

Here is a small gallery.

It is wet but warm outdoors. The dogs do get out when it is not raining. I hear tell down south of us no rain. Go figure.

I have done a lot of grooming today so I am rather tired so forgive me for making the blog short today. 

This visiting puppy ate my plants that was coming up. Yep - a puppy. What are we to do. LOL

oooh Nice Gift

Here is the gallery.

Sherry brought the dogs a snuffle mat that Murphy doesn't use and they LOVED it! I took the powder from the duck treats and spread it in. They went absolutely nuts over it.

Weather is good. It is Dennis day off and he has been downtown with medical appt and he gets Friday off as it is his birthday. Two days off in a week. 

Weather is good. The sun is shining and the dogs are loving it. I have our windows open. It is wonderful to feel the fresh air. Hope you are doing the same.

Wet Warm and Rain

Here is the gallery.

It is mighty warm outdoors but we did have rain then it stopped. I guess we are into spring here.

The dogs played. They had a ton of fun. 

What can I say.... warm weather is coming....

I Smell Something

Here is the gallery.

Logan smells steak on the counter and is hopeful. He will be rewarded tonight. At his age standing on his back legs, he so deserves it, don't you think. Yum humans - you feed us well. Well, we so love you!

I did a lot of grooming today. I actually just finished. Can't let the dogs out due to the rain but still they are having fun. Rather them use the pads than rinse them off and blow dry and brush. 

Is the snow over? Dennis bday is the 17th and he often gets a present of snow so it is not over till it is over.

We haven't seen Dante and Luna for sometime and they came to play and get groomed. It is delightful to spend time with them. 

TV time coming up and snuggles. Can't get better than that! 

Siblings and More

Here is the gallery.

These 2 are siblings - Brodie the dark one and Riley the apricot one - gial and boy and they were delighted to see each other. After all this time, it was nice. She is so much Hallie in spirit!

I have an upset tummy. Eating Tums but it is not helping. 

We had visitors depart. The dog have been playing and playing. 

Someone has decided my fridge was a fire hydrant. We are working on correcting that. 

The dogs always keep you on your toes but I am crawling on to the couch. My tummy demands it.

OMG Messy Times

Here is a mini gallery.

The dogs are mighty messy due to the rain. I have to do this blog quickly as I have a lot of comb-outs to do - so forgive me as I really just want to crawl on to the couch and chill with dogs. 

Keeping Marlee and Lachlan clean was exceedingly funny as Dennis would let them out and I would have to wash them again - yes again. I screamed - DON"T LET THEM OUT. Picture a crazy lady saying this. 

It was a fun day!

Getting Warmer

Here is the gallery.

It has been a mighty busy day. I am about to sit down with dogs and watch tv. Don't even have the energy to eat but it is warm outdoors. Sun is shining. Dogs have been playing. 

Ms Nava was just combed out and Bailey was highly curious about movement in the bushes but no - not a rabbit. It was Stryker. He can be mighty mischievous at times and he surprised Bailey in a fun way.

Hope you had a wonderful day!!

No Treats

Here is the gallery.

One would think he had treats but nope - just him playing with the dogs and them excited about it. It happens many times a day with all of us. That connection that makes life worth living - fun!We really try to do that with every single dog that visits.

Bedtimes are adventures too. We go out to do their business last thing and then upstairs to play and run while we get ready for bed. Always kisses are involved in and out of bed. Something exciting about bedtime snuggles that makes the experience extra special. We all look forward to it and can't imagine doing without.

Playing Indoors

Yes, 2 non havanese playing their hearts out. LOL

Here is the gallery.

It is Dennis day off. I clicked a few. Dogs are having fun. 

They play and play and play then rest and start again. It is like this ALL day long. 

It is truly wonderful to watch.

Change of Guard

Mini gallery.

Neesi and Jasper departed earlier. Sam is departing now. Ms Cassie and Coco the maltese already departed. Coco the Havanese and Rocco departing tonight. Jax gets to stay another night. 

Nicky is a fun dream dog. She is such a character. Of course we have the puppy who is starting to understand my ankles are not to be chewed on. 

So many changes but everyone is having a TOM of fun.

I want to thank Nessie and Jasper's parents for Hendricks and a pie slice that these guys in my life think it is theirs. 

Late Night

Here is a gallery.

Sorry - late night so short blog. I just finished my 8th dog grooming. I am exhausted so the blog will be short. Everyone had a blast and some even crowded me while I groomed. I just want to go to sleep but got dishes to do and all the things we do before crawling into bed. Of course Nathan goes up a half hour earlier. LOL 

Look who is playing on the cover. It was a fun day. Lots of dogs departing tomorrow.

For those that celebrate Easter, I hope it was a grand one!

Lots of Changes

Here is a mini gallery.

It is really really messy and it rained today. Dennis is pumping off the pool.

I have a ton to groom the next 2 days so my day off is not my day off on Monday. I did cut down the face of Neesi and shortened her body. I like that you can see her face. She looks so darn cute.

This puppy we have visiting is an ankle biter in a HUGE way. He ignores Nathan's ankles but not Dennis and I.

Our company is gone. 

The house is actually quiet. Can you imagine that? 

Tuppy's parents bought me an Amazon gift card so I bought filament - of course - what else would you buy? LOL It is truly appreciated.

The son that went to France brought me home black licorice that doesn't taste like black licorice. Even Dennis tested it and went wow this is different. It is interesting how that happens when it is from another country. One would think it was all the same?

I do not think I ate today except bacon that I made for the dogs who thought I didn't make enough. Ok, I ate some. They looked at me cross-eyed and rightly so. It was supposed to be for them. Logan thought he was in heaven. Love the old dogs loving food.

Messy Backyard

Here is a mini gallery.

It is a warm day. It is messy as everything outdoors. We need to hose the backyard till it is crytal clean but not today. We have water on the top of the pool cover. The puppy we are watching keeps running through it. Well, everyone now does. 

We have company. It is chaos but fun. Tomorrow family departs and it gets quieter but my grooming steps up. Monday is normalcy LOL

So, this blog is short. Apologies but after family departs, I vow to do better. 

Our windows are open so the world can hear our craziness.
