What a Day

This was Kona saying hello to his human Mommy when she picked him up. It was a glorious site. We already miss Kona. it's been so wonderful to watch him - rain - NO WAY - okay everyone else is so I will give it a try - snow diving - ARE YOU KIDDING - okay I will try that too. It's like he had to process it and realized if everyone else is and I don't then I miss the fun and he did have fun. I love a thinking dog who processes the situation then jumps in and tries it out. He is also so agile it is unreal. He can jump on a moving object and not miss a beat - fearless in his ability. Hope you are snuggling, sleeping and enjoying. Glad we got to know you even better. It made my heart swell!

Well, we had the Goldie here to play with her sister Dusty and she is a delight and Finn stopped in to spend time with his sister Tangles. It's funny watching the siblings as they are so unique but are similar. I am so lucky to see the pups and our adults and I do love them so!

Envy was jealous every time I snuggled with Tangles. That was unexpected so I made sure I had Envy time too. I guess he was named right. He doesn't seem to care about me snuggling anyone else - just that Tangled one.

JLo is going to get a bath tomorrow and then head home. What a riot she is. She is a total snuggle bug.

And Zoe that schnauzer with the brain of a havvie - he adored Kona and Kona adored him. Zoe also LOVES LOVES any puppy with his colouring - oh she loves them all but its as if she is more attracted to the tris. Got to love it!

Socks plays with everyone. He just goes from one to the next and then drops and sits at the recliner without a word till he is seen waiting to sit in Nathan's lap.

Coco and Doozie - well I can never say enough about them. They are so different and compliment each other so well that its an amazing fit. I love that fit that works! Coco is much like her mom who is a calming dog who lends comfort when you are ill. it is quite nice. Doozie brings fun to the world and that's quite nice too!

A special hope goes out to Logan and Panda's mom who is not feeling well - we hope you get well soon. May the Logie Bear and Panda take care of you well. May you get rest and they sleep right along with you like mine tend to when I am sick.

We have had a very full day. Here are a few photos - not all the photos but everyone today had an amazing time and guess what - so did I even if I groomed and groomed. :-)

Thanks Darlah,
I think that besides trying to eat my earring Kona tried to lick every inch of my face.
He has been quiet so far, but we will see how he snuggles in bed.

That was funny - the earring moment. Glad I captured his enthusiasm! On Treasure's blog I have some more photos of him after his bath.

Isn't it nice to know how much they love you. I know they have all kinds of fun when away, but when they see you, I love how their whole body wiggles. Brie says hello with her whole body. So fun to see.

That is such a great picture of Kona and Kathy! You can tell he is so happy to see her. There is nothing like home :-)

What a great moment to have captured! It's so wonderful to see how much Kona missed you Kathy :)

February 23, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Great job capturing that moment, Darlah! Kona looks really happy to be reunited with his mom!

Love the picture of Kathy and Kona.

It has been great to see all the photos and stories of Kona playing and enjoying his vacation, and he is one handsome boy, such a great coat of colours.

Wish Coco and Doozie could be there still when our duo shows up next week.

Wow, more pups coming, how special for you and all the families waiting for one of your pups.

Shelley: We miss you and can't wait to see your duo. It would have been real fun if Coco and Doozie was here at the same time. I should tell Carol she should stay in Europe? hahahahahaha

Fabulous reunion shot Kathy and Kona! I can feel the love. :-)
