Recovery and Sharing: Huge Happy Home Coming

Hi Darlah,

Two years ago today was when Fiona came to live with us. I have to thank you and Nathan so much. I feel so blessed to have her. She is the sweetest little dog ever. I can't remember when she wasn't here. She has brought myself and my family so much joy. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her. I'm sending you a photo of Fiona on our front verandah just after a visit to the spa. Hope you are both well. Happy Thanksgiving. Beverley Devlin😊

Isn't she adorable?

Well the last 2 days was insane. I never realized how many things one must do to get ready for a family get together. It's actually insane as usually my day is full to begin with. Glad the china is back till when Thanksgiving? sigh

Dennis and I already had the Rowan and Emmy crew out. I am about to take out the Saffron crew. Saffron was combed out. Jeannie was combed out. We are done with 2 loads. I need to put motion detector lights ib the backyard that I got through airmiles. They sit on my desk and come on each time I move. heh Need to get them screwed in outdoors.

The cover is on and the dogs are having a blast on it though its still wet. Can't wait to see the pups on it.

I hope to get a printer up and going. Mine bit the dust. 

Got more dogs to brush out. Got Gracie to wash and one of mine. My PVR is chock full at 100% and can't record any longer. Gracie departs today. They are selling their house.

Jeannie and Adele are acting like they have morning sickness. 

So many plants to let die or bring in. Have to decide. Dennis had the windows open in my office and the room still didn't get cool. All pups are old enough now to have it cooler.

Well back to cleaning, laundry folding and waiting for Nathan to finish reading the paper so we can get the Saffron pups out. By the time he is done I swear they will be sleeping.

Fiona is beautiful. Beverley I feel the same about Rusty. The Talemaker crew have wonderful litre and makes so many of us happy forever. I can't wait for Adele and Jeannie. I am sure you need a break Darlah. At least a week. Will you have any time to yourself if they are pregnant? Who is Fiona's Mom?

I am so tired that I think Thanksgiving has to be take-out haha. Just kidding.

I have yet to get a turkey so I am with you, Ronnie. I am pretty sure they are both pregnant. No break unfortunately. We had planned this but expected them to come in this month not last. Plus the Judy's pups were unexpected and so was Saffron. We would have had a wonderful break. Oh well. I do so love the pups. Not crazy about the work and lack of sleep and neither is Dennis these days.

Fiona is a Maggie pup from Yvonne Poole. She no longer breeds but her Maggie was Risa's daughter. It was the same line that I have. Fiona always had stunning long hair even throughout her pregnancies and pups. She had stunning full hair and used to scat in the ring to the judges who laughed. She was the best dog Yvonne produced. imho. We placed her after she was done breeding. Was not easy but knew Fiona would thrive being a princess!
