Very Busy Day

Muntuno got a bath.

He was funny checking himself out in the mirror a few times.

Brewer also had a bath but didn't click him. Not sure why. Maybe as I had 2 demattings today and 4 baths. Plus I groomed everyone.

This was Scruffy's face when I came out to get him with a brush in my hand. Dennis was out with them while I was grooming and it had a no rain experience. He's looking at me as if to say - its my turn next? He doesn't seem to mind it but I think he preferred outdoors than inside on a table.

Pepper is here as well but I didn't manage to get photos of her that wasn't in the Jeannie puppy gallery. Sorry about that. Lori, you will have to look at Jeannie's puppy photos. She adores the pups. It makes sense. Cali does too!

Ozzie and Scruffy had a smell fest. I am not sure what they are smelling but I find they do this more after a rain as I am sure it must bring the smell to the surface?? Just my thought on the subject. The sun burns everything off.

Cali never ceases to amaze me. She departs with her forever family tomorrow night and her bath will come just before as she likes to muck it up. I will miss her more than you know. She is still a puppy but has been part of our home for quite sometime.

Here she is making a face dive and she doesn't skip a beat.

Spice always seems to have a terminal smile on her face.

And Inula is actually snuggling with Wasabi in this photo. I guess she is now truly part of the home.

It is another wet day but a fun one. The crew is snuggled up damp and messy after I groomed them cause they were back out running like banshees. I wouldn't have it any other way!

All the best to Cali as she goes to her forever home. Darlah, I know you'll miss her - not sure if there is anything I can say to cheer you up.....other than to say you've raised an amazing pup that will make her forever home very happy. Things happen for a reason....Cali's destiny is her new home for whatever reason

It's sweet how Inula is bonding with all the others.

Pepper really does love the puppies. My dad took them for a walk and they came across a 5 month old pup and she did not want to leave. She was enjoying playing with it so much.
She has strong protective instincts. Maybe that plays a part in it too.

It was wonderful to see. Then this morning Pepper leaped off the couch on to Ozzies head. Ozzie was in a cushie bed. Ozzie LOVED it. Yes, Pepper did this on purpose.

Inula & Wasabi cuddling is a special picture. She is one of the pack, chasing & playing.
All the best to Cali and her new family. She will come back and visit you and the crew.
Montuno is a very handsome boy. He thinks so as well. Ha ha.

Kat is the dad and he is the dad on Roxie's litter as well.

Yes, Muntuno does think he is special. :-) He did win today and so did Adele.

Congratulations to Adele, Montuno and Talemaker.
