It's Been a Day
Wednesday, March 18, 2015 at 6:11PM Been juggling a lot but managed to get through most except this blog. This was an insanely busy and noisy day with baths etc. Nathan's brother was helping us fix the leak mess we had and every sound the dogs barked and barked and barked. Funny thing was it was rarely the same dog but they got each other going. I kept trying to be creative and each would feed the other and then he departed and I played catch up and they were quiet. Poor Dennis has had no sleep. I guess today wasn't the best day to do it but the only day. Now we get to finish it as the drywall is up. Such fun stuff. Then our son Tal came in and bark, bark bark and Nathan has been out with his brother so - can I go to bed? Well Nathan is now home and Dennis went to bed till 10.
I did get a few photos today.
Patches waiting for Abby.
Abby arrives - I think at Patches home.
Rocco and Reggie's playdate!
This is Laci's yard. It looks quite nice and low maintenance but I think my dogs would be in those plants.
Here are some photos taken today. Some good - some not so good but it depends who was clicking with what.
Everyone was combed out - all by me. What a day... but they looked for their treat and they were all good for me.
This was before his comb-out but he's cute none the less.
Truffie is my gentle soul. I just love him!
So where is the food? Oh I don't eat at the table?
Ozzie came today with excitement and fun. He is having a heck of a good time.
Tiny came to play and well have fun and that he did. I bet you he is sleeping at home now.
So, is it MY turn yet? She's been great about grooming but surely wants the treat!
Coco says is that all you got? This was after she wolfed down her breakfast. I just love how excited about the food she is.
This was Chase before she had her bath today. I just love her love for a cool breeze and sun. She adores the outside.
Oh Rafi what an expression filled face you have!
I have more photos but this is enough. I am exhausted and need dog cuddle time.
The dogs had a literal blast today and they tested me many times over playing off each other but I am better for them. I do so love each of them. Till tomorrow.

Despite the busy day you had, the dogs had fun and it shows in the photos. They all look good. Truffie looks especially handsome. I know I've said this many times, but to this day, I remember the very first day we went to your house for a "meet and greet" and Truffie was still a young puppy. He had been at Woofstock that day and was sleeping under your couch, exhausted. Laci's yard looks very nice. Great job Debi! Nothing like a yard with no grass to cut.
See you all tomorrow for the Coop drop off.
All the faces in these photos are so unique and expressive.
Truffie is a gentle soul and so loveable.
Laci's yard is great. I like the low maintenance aspect.
Looking forward to seeing the Coops! Truffie is a special boy but I am biased.
I always make sure the dogs have fun cause when they have fun even if I am exhausted, I smile. Today I am exhausted!
Oh, I didn't expect you to put the pic of Laci in her new yard on here. That's OK! :-) It was new last summer (in that area) and she loves it and she has her own umbrella from the pruned Blue Spruce. As I mentioned to Darlah, that tree is so full that there can be teaming rain and Laci has a dry area to find shelter in. She doesn't go in the gardens w/ the exception of chasing a squirrel and lucky for us, she is not a chewer or eater of debris/plants. However, we did work on that in the early days and so not an issue.
Now let's hope for spring to keep on coming . . .
Darlah, glad to hear you got your maintenance done.
The dogs look happy and beautiful as always! :-)
Hey, Darlah, they make me smile, too! I miss my two dogs running around and playing off each other so I love seeing your pics and videos. Can't wait till I have my Talemaker puppy and can enjoy the love of a dog once again ... then it will the two of us waiting until it's time to bring home a second puppy to make my family complete again.
and, yes, I agree with everyone, Truffles is beautiful!
These pics made me laugh and want to cuddle each one of them. They are so expressive. Thanks for taking the time out of your crazy busy day Darlah.
Christine (smile) Know about loss of dogs. Wish they lived as long as us.
Ronnie: Thank you!
Christine, I lost my beloved two dogs last September, one at the beginning and one at the end. The one at the end was very sudden and we had no warning. Luckily we were already on the waiting list for a Talemaker puppy because we knew our first dog was very ill and wasn't expected to live very long. We got Patches at the end of October and I can't tell you how much she has helped us with our grieving process. We love her to pieces, she is an absolutely wonderful girl. In fact, we are back on the waiting list to get another puppy for her next year. So, I hear everything you are saying and feel your pain.
By the way everyone, yes, that is Patches at home waiting for Abby. I had said to her just beforehand "Abby is coming to visit very soon" and she ran to the door and began the watch - hahaha Gotta love 'em!!
Debbie, love your yard, gorgeous! Laci, you are one lucky pup!!
Amazing photos. Thanks for sharing! I met Dusty and Simone at Sick Kids. Who is Dusty's mama?
Dusty is from Treasure - Abigail's half sister. Abigail is Roxie and Adele's mom.
Hmm, maybe one day you'll do a family tree :)
