School was out Monday (finally!!) so we have enjoyed Harlee’s company all week. She goes home today until next week. She’s bringing her friend from school with her when she comes back and she’s so excited!! We played with the dogs at the park, wore them out then went yard sale-ing, good ones are few and far between but we did pick up a couple treasures 😀

Patti Sue loves her life! She wags all day. Doesn’t matter what we’re doing, she’s wagging. Just the sweetest girl! Precious PATTI!! Five pets got trims today. Grace has had red ears from swimming so I shaved her ears flaps leaving tossels to increase the air flow that gets down in her ear canals. I flush her ears daily with 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar and 2/3 cups water. Yeast does not like vinegar so the redness does leave but since we swim almost daily it returns. Yeast infections can be nasty so you can’t let them get a hold. The down side of fun in the water 😦

My goofy baby! How I enjoy this dog!! She reminds me SO MUCH of her dad (that we miss so VERY much)! She does some of his silly antics that always make us laugh!! She refuses to be ignored 😀 She LOVES the water. She doesn’t chase the red ball but if we throw her ball on a rope she’s off and running!! Harlee’s out of school FINALLY!! YEAH!!!!

Sweet Reba! She sure loves swimming! She brings back all the balls (we throw four out at a time)that Rene and Nicole ignore. She and Parris are happy to collect the balls floating away. After a half our the old girls are exhausted! Old gals are in good shape for their age (Reba 13 this year, Parris 11 years) My precious girls!!

Another fun sleepover at the park!! Harlee made poodles with Fimo and I messed around with paper mache poodles. We watch old movies and loved up the dogs. Relaxing and totally enjoyable! By 10 am grandpa came and got her and off she went to spend Fathers day with him and her dad. I mowed the grass and planted flowers 😀 Beautiful weather. Lexie and Rosalie going home today 😦

FIVE TODAY!! Parris and Reggie’s adorable DESIGNER babies Calvin/Eddie (featured in both pictures) Ralph/Moe, Julien/Leo, Tommy/Dino, Gloria/Dino, Gloria/Madeline, Chanel/Vera, Stella/Tara and Donnatella/Mimi La Roux!! Such good babies!
We are spending the night at the park clubhouse. It is so fun to do crafts, watch old sci-fi movies (1950’s) and enjoy our favorite foods. The dogs love sleeping ALL OVER US!! On my twin bunk I had Rosalie, Reba, Dottie, Lexie and Parris. That DOES NOT leave much room for ME! Harlee had Grace and Rene on one couch. And Patti and Nicole (the smart ones) were on the other couch with plenty of room 😀
We are planning a camping weekend July 18-20 we won’t sleep over both nights just Saturday but we’ll have a campfire with hot dogs, marshmellows etc. Harlee is bringing a friend from school, she’s so excited! Please join us if you enjoy camping!

The girls were especially happy to be at the park! It rained so we missed a day and they had energy to burn!! I enjoy their delight and that being away from home is fun for them 😀 They go home Saturday, Tom and Mindy will be home from Yellowstone, what FABULOUS pictures they have shared. I want to LIVE there!!

My precious Parris, what a delight she is! So darn cute!! She has a yipping/howling/barking melt down if she thinks I left her 😀 She’ll be 11 this year 😥 WE are enjoying our visit wit Rosalie and Lexie. And Harlee has school until Monday!! We want to organize a POODLE CAMP OVER!! Bring your camper and spend the night with us at the park! We have a couple campers interested we need to pick a date!

It’s been fun having Lexie and Rosalie here for the week, they are having a good time 😀 Without Poppy and Francis I was feeling poodleless 😦 reduced numbers takes some getting used to, sure wish I had puppies. We are still waiting for Dottie’s heat. I am very low on puppy breath!! We will have lots of babies later in the year but I want some now 😦
Poppy doing better every day. Sleeps on the bed with Pat and Rosie. She collects all the toys that squeak and takes them into her beloved blue crate that went with her on the move. She’s a funny girl!!

Poodle guardians. Citori and Izzie with the twins Chase and Max now three. And Monet/Jezabel (Lexie and Jack baby) getting pet/hit and hair combed/ pulled by her baby girl. Poodles are so wonderful they will endure anything from their little humans. All they ask is to be close by. Beautiful day yesterday. We played at the park (and got all dusty because it’s SO DRY) then went swimming, I love sparkling clean poodles! Lexie and Rosalie are having so much fun! I know they miss Tom and Mindy but swimming makes hem being away a little easier to endure!! Poppy is doing better everyday. Her daughter Pebbles/Rosie encourages her to play and doesnt understand why she doesnt want to. She will 😀
