Slo Mo TODAY & BDAY Wishes

Here is a photo of Pepper that was sent! Happy 5th Birthday goes out to Pepper, Darcy, Rafi Nora, Lillian, Brewer and Koraline. 
Rogers never showed up so we are still slower than molasses so that means galleries will be late. I am so trying. I will add as they make it up. Here is the gallery.

Each dog has their own personalities. One has to realize you do not live with the colour of a dog - well you do but you don't. You live with the personality. You can have a gorgeous colour dog and have it just not fit with your lifesyle. It is why we strive to find the right dog for the right home.

Pictured here is Stormy. I combed her today. Yes, I actually combed her. She lives up to her name. She has not slowed down. I imagine she will eventually but she is that step over the line dawg. 

Raven I combed out YESTERDAY and here she is. I will comb her out after I am done the blogs but she has a completely different personality than Stormy. She is a loving, laid back dawg. She is not demanding. She's Raven. She is gentle with the pups where Stormy is boisterous. I love them both. I tell people did all your kids come with the same temperament? If you don't have kids do your friends kids have the same personality? Just as in humans dogs are unique but they also adapt. Havanese are puppy pleasers!

We had a full day. Cosmo departed. He so had a grand time and that pleases me. Margo also departed. What a spitfire ball of fun - and missed already. You will see her drinking out of the muttini bowl.

I had people say but will the dogs like you without Nathan? Really someone said that. I am not in front of the camera. I capture Nathan and the dogs. I have a great nuturing relationships with the dawgs. You just do not see it. lol

Nathan's fear is each time he goes away I will steal a dog from him. They will become mine. It is never intentional but it does happen. Oh they love us both but Kat was Nathan's dog through and through and he is mine now. So is Ella and a few more though Nathan will debate that. LOL. 

Nathan got home this morning and the dogs were out of their minds happy to see him. I was glad. I didn't steal Kai away and he has been making sure they still love him. heh The Schnauzers were also crazy excited though they love me and the games I played with them. I am the nut who can't run but attempts to and plays retrieve with them. We have a blast. 

The point is they love us both for different things - different memories that we create with them and that is what it is about.

Thank you for the birthday wishes for Pepper! We wish all her siblings a happy birthday with many many more to come!

Darlah I have to say when Rusty sees you on our visits he goes crazy. In fact from the first time when we went to lessons I saw how nuts he was with you. We always think Nathan because we see him in all your pictures but you are the Mom and
we all know that the Mom is counted on and trusted the most. NOT that they don't love Nathan to bits but you are truly loved by them too and we see it over and over. As I said you guys have magic that cannot be replicated by any of us. In fact we all love you guys. I always get excited when I see you too. Because you have both given me the most precious thing Rusty.

What a great birthday cupcake montage for Pepper! Happy birthday to all.
Darlah, so are you going on strike for the next day to recover? I think you totally deserve it. Did Nathan come back with a nice tan from the sunny city?
It's funny how dogs have such different personalities and bring different things to the pack. It's also interesting how you have read into their personalities when they are puppies. It's even more interesting how you read the human personalities and lifestyle with only 2 encounters.

Happy 5th Birthday Pepper and siblings!
We love you too - Darlah and Nathan! šŸ˜

Sylvia, I agree with you.
Darlah does such a great job of accessing each pup's personality and the personalities of the new families. I believe that Darlah and Nathan have excellent powers of observation. We the forever families are the winners.

I just love the pictures you have posted here. Birthday Pepper is a very lovely pupā€¦.what a great picture that is! Stormy just looks like a girl who loves to have funā€¦..what a cutie. Raven, I think, is an absolute beauty. They all look so very different. One of the really great things about this breedā€¦..it just can't be beat!

November 22, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPatt

Yeah Stormy is fun but trouble. Raven is calm and gentle and has silky hair. Pepper is a beauty - I agree!
