some big news!

A knock at the door revealed the beloved Amazon delivery guy with a box of 900 poo bags! Yes indeed, that is a lot of sh&! but when you have one 9 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, ( and one little miniature poodle that can poop all day), you have to be prepared. Camping is less than a month away!

Poor wee Spike is suffering today. He went for a dental yesterday and it was expected that he’d lose a few teeth, but unfortunately for him his teeth were worse than expected and he lost a whole bunch. I feel so bad for him, and so ashamed for us that we didn’t have him in for a cleaning a few years ago. Brushing wouldn’t have helped much as most of the damage was to the inside of his teeth. Do you all have regular cleanings done for your dogs? How often? They have to be put under so it’s not without risk.

Adia learned to go up and down the ramp yesterday. I started with it flat on the ground, moved it to up one step, and then into the truck. It didn’t take her long to have confidence. I see some agility lessons in her future!

Her incredible curiosity helps her to overcome any uncertainty.

Later in the day after a nap and a thunderstorm… gosh I’m glad this dog can nap! I’m still recovering and seem to be sleepy all the time. Adia settles in on the dog bed at the foot of my bed and snoozes along with me.

Oops! How did a black golf sock show up on the coffee table? Humm… I have an idea that it was transported by a red whirlwind.

Now that it’s official and the last signature has been written I can spill the beans that Kirsten and her family are moving back to Canada and have purchased a home outside of Smiths Falls, just over an hours drive from here!!!!! I’ve very excited.

We have had Haleys teeth cleaned only three times in 10 years. She has a number of things wrong with her now that requires lots of meds, that we are not going to do the cleanings anymore, it is too hard on her body.
