busy busy!

Wow yesterday was very busy! Fudgie went home with her new family in the morning. Afterwards I took Maggie with me to my mom's house. My mom is away for a few days so I'm babysitting her dogs until tonight, and then another family is coming to take over until Tuesday. They are a guardian family of my mom's and they have been here many times! I'm sure that everything will be fine. Yesterday though it rained about an hour after my mom, brother, and sisters all left! It rained all afternoon, evening and night. You can imagine what that does to the dogs! My mom's old poodle Prince hates this kind of weather and he always sticks right to your leg or stays in a spot where there is no windows. The little dogs don't want to go outside even for a quick potty break, and my mom's poodles who are supposed to be white, look brown! She will be so happy! A lot of people think that poodles are dainty dogs who hate dirt. Ya right. Not the standards, that is for sure! If there was one tiny mud puddle in a field, they would find it and roll through it. Her poodle Vegas is the worst for that. Her whole face is almost black, all up her legs. I wipe it off with a towel and the next time she goes outside she looks just as bad. Oh great, I'm just looking outside into the yard right now and one of the pails that I filled up with water is being dragged around the yard by Vegas.

All of the morning doggy and puppy chores are done now though. Phewwww! She has 4 older puppies, which we refer to as Barney and friends. One puppy is named Barney by his new owners, and the other 3 are my mom's future girls. They are 3 and 4 months old now and so adorable! My mom took this photo last week of them.

In front is Barney. At the back from left to right is Punkin, Molly, 2 doodle puppies that have gone home now, and the brown girl is No Name. So far we haven't found a name that fits her. She is Macie's big sister.

This is Molly again. We call her Big Molly, or Blaze Molly. She is Blaze and Philosopher's baby girl!

Ahhhhh....life is so hard!

Jake is happily manning the fort at home. He called yesterday to tell me that he worked through the rain to clean out our shed and doggy room. Washed out all of the crates. He even vacuumed! Jake thinks that vacuuming is a waste of time when you can just sweep it up! I'm telling you...it's not the same!

I was just thinking of doing a roll call here at my mom's house but it would scare people lol! She's a bit of a collector. Haley says that now she mostly just collects mini labradoodles. Her sleeping buddies. Last night I slept in my mom's room with Ginger and Muppet on the bed. Prince, Tasha and Maggie were on the floor. Usually mom has a couple others in the bedroom as well, but I had them sleep in their crates last night. I'm such a meanie!
