Rain, rain go away. There was so much rain this month we could practically watch the grass grow.The ridgebacks made it for their bi-weekly swim just before the rain hit.
Here we have Magic. She came for her first visit to the hydro, She tagged along with Mr Brown and the other girls.
Mr Brown hurt his leg, we gave him a treatment to relieve the pain. What a brave man he is!
Michelle, The Pied Piper.The Dobermans also made their swim - they had their measurements taken so we can track their progress. Both Hansie and Troy have gone from lopsided measurements to perfectly balanced statures.
Piper came along and boy was she surprised - she got to take a free swim in the big pool - and she loved it. Piper did fantastically well.
Sally, the 5 year old Daschund, we started treating this delightful lady she has huge spirit!
She had an operation for a spinal lesion and needs treatment to get her back into the habit of using her legs again.
Sanjay (Duncan's Dad) spent some time getting to know Sally and her Dad.
Sally was not to sure what to expect on her first swim.
Sally's legs being massaged by the jets in the pool.This handsome man is Tyson - He is getting old and his legs are a bit painful. He is such a gentle old man and loved his massage.
Gizmo came along with Tyson. There was a storm brewing (yet again) and she was feeling a bit apprehensive.Apart from the rain we had to be vigilant when we swam - A pair of Plovers have a nest with babies on the property. These brave souls guard it relentlessly - sending every one ducking and diving as we are trying to swim.
Christine was getting too close for comfort.
Duncan, on his first visit for the year, found a stuffed husky and tried to sneak out the door with it.
Cami was intrigued by the geese, but her sister, Jess, found something more interesting.
Cami and Jess asking Michelle about the Geese.
After their swim, boy they don't look too happy - If looks could kill. 
Charmer and Intuition were busy helping Odile, the gardener, cut the grass when we arrived.
They greeted us then went back to work - trimming down where they thought Odile had missed a spot.
He was constantly trying to see what Michelle was doing to Skye - making sure he was not left out of anything - not even his rope toy could distract him.
Shumba eventully got the hint and settled down to play by himself.
Recharging his batteries during his nap - so he will be ready for action after Skyes treatment.
Holly who spent the whole time behind the couch finally came out for a bit of attention.
Benfica and Lira chilled with their Dad at home.
Lira loved the treatment and soon settled nicely on Michelles lap, someone should tell her she's not as small as she used to be.
Benfica was next and he enjoyed himself as much as his sister did.
Bubba the parrot kept us amused with his Anitics and comments while we were treating his pals.
Jason's up first.
Then there's Michael.

Diane is hot on his heels
And last but not least - Claudia.
