Happy Thanksgiving: Another TDAY Photo

As this holiday is filled with tradition, we thought it would be appropriate to post a photo of Coops to celebrate the day. Russell and Anne have sent us some pretty stunning photos over the years and so has Steven. I just want to say that I am ever so thankful for all of you.

Mateo The One I called LoverboyWhen we see our puppies happy, we are happy. That is what it is about. They get excited to see us for visits and play dates but there is no place like home. Holidays are fun but home is or should be where the heart is. If it isn't, you have to get everyone on side to understand life is short. Be good to yours and yourself. 

I am thankful that these 2 litters there is no supplementing. They are active and getting fat. I am thankful that Danielle has a boyfriend and seems to be adjusting. She has a couple of issues but nothing like her ongoing 3 years of fun. I also tend to on holidays like everyone else think about the things that I have lost or people that are not here. But I try to concentrate on what is moments you have the power to create that end up many times being treasured memories. Make each other laugh. It is what gets us by. 

Enjoy the day be it by yourself or with family. Find something fun to make the mouth curl up and if you are lucky you will also get an audible chuckle too!

Cooper is gorgeous. How is he related. Looks like Roxie?

Wow Darlah, how sensitive you are. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say. We have much to be thankful for, not the least of which are the wonderful dogs brought to us by Talemaker. You and Nathan are such wonderful people, the longer I've known you the more I realize just how wonderful you two are. I am so happy for Danielle, what a special gift you have given us this day. Ed and I continue to follow the new pups' life journey and wherever their journeys take them I am absolutely sure they will have really loving homes. Just hearing what the Talemaker pups' parents say on your blog shows me what wonderful people you allow to adopt your puppies. Happy Thanksgiving to all and take a moment to say audibly all those things that you are thankful for, it really makes one smile.

Cooper is Mugs and Teaser. Roxie's father is Phantom. Phantom is Mugs son. Are you getting this? So yes they are related. Cooper is larger as he is from Teaser. Paula was trying to downsize as Teaser always threw larger even with Truffie. Havanese USED to be larger. I actually like them larger and sturdier. If too small they have an issue whelping etc. Fiona was our tiniest gal that had pups. Her pups used to be 3 to 5 ounces. It was always a lot of work for a week or so giving them a boost. It's the guppy syndrome. They will only grow as much as they have room. Leti is a small gal but larger than Fiona.

That is wonderful news to hear about Daniele. The past few years were hard but so happy to hear that she is adjusting and has a boyfriend. I echo what everyone has said about the Talemaker family. You are a huge part of everyone's lives and today is the perfect day to say thank you for all that you guys do for our pups, including Dennis. Hope everyone is enjoying this glorious day that we are having. Summer is back today!

Thanks to all the Talemaker family for everything they do to give us the best pups imaginable! Abby is a dream come true! We cannot thank you enough.
Enjoy your day! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Best wishes to all for a Happy Thanksgiving.

The entire Talemaker crew creates wonderful pups. A team effort for sure.

Nice to hear that Abby is happy and creating wonderful memories with her
new family.

So nice to hear that Danielle is feeling more like herself and is moving on with her life. Darlah thanks for all your blogs. I enjoy them so much.

Oh, isn't Mateo a little love and so very handsome too. And, of course, when I first met Cooper at the picnic he blew me away.

October 12, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAngela and Patches

I do so hope all of you had a grand day. What weather. What a pleasant surprise. Tonight perhaps showers they say.
