Today

I had Chester perfect but as a puppy and he is a puppy he couldn't help but smoosh his face. I laughed and clicked anyway. I kep brushing and trying to capture but he was having none of it. I love it!

Here is the gallery today.

We have class tonight so I am updating early.

Teddy was looking for the recliner in th tv room. It is actually his fave spot. It is Brewer's fave spot too. Brewer got it this time. Teddy got to go upstairs and take a nap with Nathan. I think they both won in this situation. 

Thyme had her rabies shot today. I keep telling Nathan not to book on class night. Oh well. She now weighs 8lb 5oz. I should bring Chester upstairs to see what he weighs. The scale is back upstairs. 

Now I have to wash Thyme. It's A & W night. hahahaha

I updated the Jeannie and Adele blog.

Such great photos and so nice to see Miss Risa. Chester is a good looking boy. Is it Raven in the crate on a blue blanket? Such beautiful eyes.

Yes, that is Raven and she does have wonderful eyes. Chester is handsome. Keeping him looking like he was just groomed is IMPOSSIBLE. But I am trying. He departs tonight.

Darlah - more amazing photos of the dawgs! Bravo!

You take such great pics of the dogs, Darlah. It is like we are there with them. Chester, Raven, Risa, etc., etc. All look so wonderful.

Nice to see Nana Risa. She seems to be front and centre in the daily activities which is good to keep her young. Too bad her son Katsura has such stress dealing with the tantalizing female scent in the house. It must be difficult for all.

I agree with Angela, I love to see all the great photos of your dogs and visitors.
It has become more difficult over the past 6 years to try and remember who is related to whom. I love them all.

Woohoo ... A&W night! Wouldn't be my choice ... I don't eat meat.

Oh little Chester look so cute and handsome! We were wondering how Chester is doing. Thank you human mom for bringing Chester in for visit so we can see how he is growing up. Your sister Tenshi says hi!
Now I wonder how Ollie is doing...

Chester is exhausted and has been sleeping nonstop since he got home. He LOVES visiting his "first" family and, Darlah, he looks absolutely adorable after your grooming. We need to get some more of those little rubber bands so he can continue to see. 😄 Did you happen to get his weight? I'll check tomorrow if not. I was traveling for business these past few days and loved to see the pics after my working days. Thank you!!

DARLAH is that Ella? The pictures are truly. Eautiful. What handsome dogs. I am sure they are having a great time.

January 19, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterRonnie

Ella where? The photo above is Chester (Saffron's son).

January 20, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Just got photos of Ollie. Will be posting today.

January 20, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I did not take his weight. I kept thinking about it and then forgetting as he was having so much fun. The rubber bands are found at Rens. Search for Latex and get the 3/8 size. Love to know his weight.

January 20, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I did notice that Thyme was taller than her siblings where Amy was approximately the same size as Thyme. In one week that changed. I will be posting a video and the photos of class today. It won't be till the afternoon. I am hoping to pick up a storage unit for my shampoo and conditioners and brushes for my grooming area. I am still not back to having my stuff back but now my goal is organized. hahahaha So, I am doing that this morning. Nathan already gave me a list - tube bulbs u shaped and straight, a dryer vent etc. I am supposed to have some down time too.

January 20, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Karen: Chester looks awesome after Darlah works her magic! the first time Tenshi went to visit, she played so hard she crashed instantly when she went back home. Now that she's been many times, she still has energy when she gets home. Don't they look super happy when they are played with their havanese families?
Darlah: we went to vet for rabies shot today and Tenshi weight 5.8lbs, she's still a tint little girl. She gained about 1.2 lbs in 4 weeks.
