Scruffy, Bentley, Sophie & Ringo

Hope you can see this video of how Scruffy spent his birthday. Tonight his brother Bentley is coming to visit.

Here are a few photos we got in email:

Dear Nathan & Darlah,

 

Today was the most special day of the year for our family.  One year ago today, the miracle that is Scruffy came into this world and changed our lives forever.  It has been such a blessing for us and we cherish every moment we have together.

So how did we make this a unique and wonderful day for Scruffs? Well, we spoiled him rotten of course!  We had a few outings in the fresh 10cm of snow, me in my snowsuit and Scruffs in his new jacket.  He got a special breakfast and dinner light on the kibble, heavy on the treats and cheese. Yum!  He took an afternoon nap with Roger and had some snuggles with me, too. We played many rounds of fetch with his new reindeer toy and tug with his favorite elephant.  I even let him sneak some socks out of the laundry basket so we could play chase Scruffy all around the house. To close out the day, we sang him Happy Birthday and helped him blow out the candle on his birthday cheesecake. He can't tell us his wish but we are sure it somehow involves treats! 😃

Here are some photos of his day and a video from his snow play......notice how he decided "I'm done now, see ya!"  That's our Scruffs!

 

Cheers,

Lori & Roger

---------------------

Here is Scruffy's brother Bentley who is visiting us this evening. We are so excited to see him. It's been too long.

Then we got some great photos of Sophie over the holiday season. She's another way too far away.

Hello Talemaker crew,

Mama and I made a surprise trip to PEI for Christmas. It's the first time she's been home for Christmas in 6 years. We had a great drive and I've now become something of a pro at this cross-border travel. :-)

Surprising the kids was my favorite part. I was so excited the whole neighborhood could hear me!!  I am having so much fun. I even got to play in a little snow. There's a big storm coming tonight so I'll really have fun tomorrow.

Christmas was great fun. I hung a stocking, wore Christmas pajamas that I did not want to take off, and of course got a few presents. I mean what dog doesn't deserve toys at Christmas??

Mama has attached a few photos for you to enjoy. I hope all the crew at Talemaker is enjoying the holiday season. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2013.

Love, Sophie

-----------------

We also got a photo from Stephanie With Ringo dressed up for the big chill. He certainly is stylin fine! Ringo, you are close enough to come to play when things settle down!

It's official. I want to come back as a Talemaker pup. The life is good!

I agree, nothing could be better than to belong to the Talemaker crew.
They all appear to live such interesting lives. After such a great start,
Talemaker families and pups just keep on charging ahead.
I must say that there is nothing better thank snuggles from a loving
Havanese or two.

Wonderful pictures of all four of them! Our Havanese sure lead the perfect life!

Lori: I had Cooper on my lap this morning and showed him the video. He was watching it and tilting his head left and right as the Scruff was moving around. So funny to watch!

I remember seeing all of these pups in their going-home pics with their happy families! Seeing how loved and cherished they are and how happy their families are is just so heartwarming! Thank you all for sharing your pictures and Darlah for putting them on the blog. I love them all!

I agree with you Irma....it's so nice to see that these pups are loved and happy. And they are all so adorable! I'm glad for this blog because I'm sure everyone I know is sick of me going on and on about how much we love Scruffy!

Anne: I'm sure Cooper recognizes Scruffs since they are such buddies :)

Lori: I just adore the picture of Scruffy hugging and kissing you! You look soooo happy and I'm sure no one would ever get tired of hearing how much you and Roger love the Scruff! And his birthday cake.......WOW! He's a lucky boy!!
