Happy Holidays

The puppies and dogs want to say a huge thank you to those that gave them soft blankies, treats and toys for the holidays and throughout the year. Wow. Those that thought of us... wow! Not necessary but wow! There are some really extra special people in our lives. You know who you are. Thank you!
I am so very thankful for those that I have met via the dogs who have allowed me to be a part of your dog's lives. The dogs have given me so much and so have the humans that have said thank you in so many ways even just sharing their dogs with us. We do try. Words can't convey how special it is to be able to say thank you to you. The dawgs who visit do it throughout the year with snuggles and hugs. Some do it by coming in worried about the world and going home not so much. These are moments I treasure. Some do it by hanging back and watching and then one day they are playing. Some do it by saying . "I am here" with a bounce in their step. I must say I love them all!
I just want to say thank you everyone and I do hope your holidays are grand ones. We do not do much here. I am not even going to be able to find the time to make a holiday meal. It is just too crazy busy. Most of our kids are scattered all over plus the holidays is when we are working the most. What we try to do is do what we can so others can enjoy. It sounds silly but it gives us great pleasure to do so even if I am exhausted. Something satisfying about making life easier for others so they don't have to worry about their dawgs.
So, on that note, thank you all that have given yourself so freely, those that traveled far to share your dawgs with us. You and the dawgs are what makes this all worth it!
And Lori.... look for that photo on the wall. You will see it in tomorrow's going home photo. The rest... wow!
Val, Stella is still on the wall. I am just adding to my wall of memories.
Anne and Russell Inula thinks you are the reindeer antler Santa. She is working her way through all. Guess her jaw is a tad different than a havanese. Thank you for everything.
Thank you everyone... I mean that sincerely and I do hope your holiday creates memories that last a lifetime. Treasure them as I treasure my time with all of you and your dawgs!
Happy Holidays everyone!!

What a fantastic shot! Which pup is this? So cute!
Happy holidays to everyone and a healthy and happy New Year to all, both humans and the dawgs! Thank you so much for bringing all the wonderful pups into this world. I can't believe my beautiful',wonderful Katie will be 1 year old in a couple of months!
Ruth, Molly and Katie xo
Happy Holidays to the entire Talemaker family! We were blessed to get Cooper a little over three years ago and with him came this wonderful friendship with you and Nathan, and the Talemaker crew. You are special people. We are also lucky to have met so many nice people through you and your blog, some that we have met in person, some that we only know through the blog. We all have a very special connection.
Ruth: Katie is a dog that has a wonderful spirit. I am blessed to have had time with her. She is quite special. One year - you are dating us all as it goes by way too fast. Can life slow down, please? I wish the very best for you and your duo. May next year be the best!!
The pup in the photo is from this litter. There will be a test. Can you tell me which one? hahahaha
Anne: The nice part is the connections not only with the dogs but the humans. Glad I added the blogs in so we didn't just have a generic website. One day when I am too old to breed I will look at this, do searches on each dog and smile and look at all the comments. It will help get me by. Rather selfish when you think of it from that aspect but I hope it will do the same for you.
I am so lucky to have great people who own our dogs whether we bred or placed them and so lucky to be a part of the lives of other breeders dogs that their families have found their way to visit and share them with us.
Happy Holidays to the Talemaker family including the dogs and all the descendants of the dogs and their human families. Patches, my husband Ed, and I are relative newbies to the blogs compared to some of you but I already feel like family. Patches will be visiting Talemaker over the holidays. I am sure she knows because I tell her she is going to visit her real Mommy, and her first human Mommy and Daddy and she cocks her head to the side as if to say, "can't wait, Mom, bring it on". She has added so much to our lives already as I can see all the Talemaker doggies have added to their human families lives. What wonderful creatures they are. We are truly blessed this holiday season and always with them in our lives!
Angela - something wonderful about them. They get to your heart so easily and remain! Happy Holidays to you both and to the munchkin Patches!
Ruth: By the way this dog is named Maddie.
Is this your little girl, D&N?
No, she's the one that went home today - a beauty :-)
Happy Holidays to all the Talemaker Crew and to all the Talemaker families. We truly feel we are a part of this large family of humans and canines that Talemaker has created. It has meant so much to us to share our love for Scruffy & Pepper with everyone and to share in the joy that all these beautiful pups bring into this world. How lucky we all are to experience such a wonderful connection!
Happy holidays to everyone at Talemaker ! I look forward to your blogs everyday.
I can not tell you how good I feel about my connection with Talemaker. Kona brings a smile to everyone he meets. For Jack & I Kona is a very special very smart little dog. I have had 4 Schnauzers in the past, I loved each of them dearly, but I believe
that the Havanese breed is an especially intelligent breed.
I am thankful everyday for Kona. Each puppy that passes through your home is
given the best start anyone can ask for.
Thank you.
Kathy, I have had 4 Schnauzers in the past also plus 2 other intelligent breeds and, I agree with you, Havanese are hard to beat re intelligence for sure. In fact, we may have met our match in Patches! And, Patches brings a smile to everyone she meets also, dogs included! Talemaker is truly wonderful.
