Burrr it was SO COLD, seemed like the perfect night for a campfire with marshmellows😀 the bad part about these sleepovers is no water or indoor bathroom😁that part I can do without but the good parts make up for it😀 like lots of needy poodles that clamor for hugs😍😘we got all our glasses/cups painted, and need to buy more😛they need to go home to be baked.  I’m glad to report that Nicki’s leg is back to normal and although PARRIS still limps a little it is much improved.  These old dogs make me nuts, seems like I’m always worried about somebody😭 with three over ten years I feel like I’m on the brink of heartache ( I’ve seen how fast and unexpected they fail)😭😭 keeping that in mind I spoil them ROTTON and enjoy every minute we have together!!

Harlee and I are back at the park enjoying a weekend with the poodles.  We are making  cups and glasses for our reunion guests so be sure you confirm you are coming to get on our project list😊 details are on the facebook events tab or email me.  May 16 noon to 4 bring a dish to pass.  Harlee will be doing some of the painting this year.  They are her own design and adorable! We look forward to these quiet weekends, we enjoy movie marathons and eat our favorite foods😀the dogs love cuddling on the couches with us, we are a captive audience😉 

How I love those happy DOTTIE and WALLY babies😍 such beauties☺️   I’m thinking I’m going to breed DOTTIE to Horace this fall.  I’ve not given up on Grace but I want to make sure I have a girl linked to Ruben and back to my Tootsie, Sassy, Bo, Beemer, Maggie, Lily, Parris and FRANCIS!!  DOTTIE is an Elliot baby, she is a Jazz grandbabies ( our super smart gene) and Nicki daughter. Checkers and Patti are cousins. Reba is a great great great Aunt😃 those pups will be related to ALL MY BELOVED PETS!! I think we will get great colors too phantoms, parti, solid, SABLE are all possible!! 

Watching for Harlee to get off the bus is serious business.  We retrieve her from her house 3 days a week and then go to the park for a run so when the alarm on my phone goes off, six excited poodles race to the door😃 they know the routine😊 we won’t go to the park today I’d like to enjoy another day of sparkling clean pets😍

Everybody got a nice bath😋 RENE was miffed and wouldn’t look at me haha.  Thankfully I have a professional tub so giving six dogs baths isn’t that big a deal.  The parti girls get pink topknots to launch the spring season😀Clean poodles smell just delicious😍 Now to keep them clean for a day😳

More wonderful Patti Sue and Ruben babies.  Gracie’s littermates😊 their little human is mobile😀and they are so careful with their baby.  I love these pictures.  After a month our home is still in disarray from the broken pipe, no floor no ceiling IT IS REALLY ANNOYING!! Nothing more frustrating than contractors and insurance companies😡

All the Patti Sue and Ruben babies seem to have his eyes😍 so loving and expressive.  Patti adds a sweetness that makes them perfect babies ( I may be bias) Sadly no Grace babies this spring, ultra sound was a maybe blood test was a no😥 at least I had a couple days of glee.  I haven’t given up, we will be going to a specialist near Lansing in hopes we can get fall babies.  We still don’t know about ROSALIE, another week before we see a baby bump.  No reason not to think RENE doesn’t have babies due April 28.  We are looking forward to more of those beauties!! “glee” theme😀

I woke up at 4 am to the sound of wrenching 😳 Harlee threw up all over the door/floor trying to get outside.  With no water that’s a problem.  Poor kid was miserable.  We painted our cups then headed home, Harlee really needed sleep and quiet.  It was a fun weekend even if it was cut short. 

Lexie and ROSALIE spent the weekend with us.  The girls love the park, since they live in Rockford now they don’t get to really run like they did at their home in Lake City.  RENE loves having her mom and sister with us😍 they cuddle, it’s so sweet.  We had Chinese food and popcorn, watched our movies and had a nice relaxing day☺️ 

I love this photo😍Monet/Jezabel is a Lexie and Jack baby😍 they love their little humans and are always close by.      They tolerate anything the baby does.  Just the best companion/protector for a kid.  Parents magazine rates poodles number ONE for kids! Weather getting better so we have plans to spend the night at the park tomorrow.  Harlee asked if she should could bring her friend, so the three of us will be enjoying a “Hunger Games” marathon and making coffee cup gifts😊 Our favorite weekends😉
