Today's Update

Some embraced it right away - the pool cover that is and some took a bit but all walked and then ran on it. Bravo!! Saffron so far likes it the least.

I may be late with today's update. Want to thank Shannon for the lovely presents for the pups and to Anne, Russell and Cooper for the lasagne and the presents for the pups. It's never a given what you do and your hearts make me tear up. This was a very hard day and I am still juggling emotionally and physically. It will get better. So, thank you TRULY!

When we are in this mode its often hard to make time to eat so it is appreciated and the pups really do like this soft stuff.

The pool cover is on and later tonight I will share a gallery. Levon, Trigger and Coops has departed. We miss them. Cooper didn't get to see the cover on but Levon and Trigger did before they departed.

Tomorrow we have a Panda get together. It best not rain as it is impossible to do it inside. If I don't make it outside, realize I may still be juggling. It is a lot of work with 2 litters initially. I have yet to even eat and have only had 2 hours sleep since what Wednesday night. Nathan will surely get outside but someone has to stay inside with our adults etc I will try to make an appearance and if Nathan doesn't take photos, I will cry. I hate losing out too.

Dogs are doing well. I don't have to bathe anyone but do have to groom everyone but not today. It's impossible.

So, one season ends and a new one begins......it brings renewed fun for the Havanese doggies. They are so lucky, your own and all those that visit. We are thankful for that. Happy Thanksgiving to the Talemeker Crew and family, and all the Talemaker puppy families, existing and future ones.

You're very welcome Darlah. For me, a new litter is just as exciting as a new human baby. lol.

I don't know what's happening in photos 1793 and 1794 to get that look on Trigger's face, but it's hilarious!

(Just so you know, I dropped off a gist card for the rescue).

That's a riot!! He has such grand expressions. They were just having a ton of fun.

Shannon - thank you truly in behalf of rescue. I am slow on the uptake. I think I have brain melt.

I do appreciate it and so does Rescue!!

No thank you necessary - I just didn't want you to miss it with everything going on today. I am hoping to come and bid on stuff - will there be any online bidding?

Fantastic what you, Nathan and Dennis accomplish. I love how the dogs love the bounce in the pool cover, so funny. Wonder if Patches will run on it this weekend.

Darlah you are very busy but you really have to eat. We can't do without you. Loved to see all the sweet dawgs playing on the cover. Is that Holly playing with Ella. The coats are the same colour as Rusty and Ella. I feel like I want to play too. I can't believe you found time for all those pictures. To the Panda families have fun tomorrow and Happy Thanksgiving to all Talemaker forever families. There is a lot to be thankful for at Talemakers this weekend and a lot I have to be Thankful for to all of you at Talemakers.

All the dogs were really enjoying the extra play area to run and play.

Shannon, Trigger really has some very funny facial expressions and 'side eye'
looks.

Ronnie: I think that was Leti. :-) Holly is still a brown sable. The Roxie pups are likely going to end up a brown sable too. Time will tell.
