Valentine's Day 2017

Jeannie and her baby Raven.
I figure in the name of love we will show one kind of love. When pups were departing, Jeannie started separating herself from the pups. Was it for her, was it for them or both? Perhaps both. I know after everyone departed she remained distant to Raven. Raven was a bit lost as she didn't understand, I suppose but if you think from Jeannie's perspective, she loves them up, teaches them and then they leave as if they are off to university and then their forever life.
Then after about 7 to 10 days she started truly playing and teaching her. She started cleaning her again. Cleaning is a true sign of affection. I wish you could say to the dogs, this one is staying but in time she realized. She doesn't play with her 24/7. She cleans her and she does play off and on throughout the day. She also protects her. If Inula gets crazy jumping all over and is too close to HER pups, she tells Inula off. Best of all she gets excited to see her when she is away. (for instance taking a nap with Nathan means oh my gad you are back - hooray) What I found interesting is Jeannie is loving up her visiting pups. She's a happy gal.
Dogs love deeply too.
I got everyone groomed before 10am but they don't look like it or maybe they semi look like it. This weather and their snow angels make them appear as if I don't do a thing. Got to love their love for life!
Well Nathan kissed and hugged me in the morning and said Happy Valentine's day then he had a big lunch and when I said to him I thought we were having a meal together for Valentine's Day he said ooops so he is out getting dinner for me. Yes, I meant to do a run on sentence. hahahaha
But while Nathan was having his lunch, Cooper invested a lot of time trying to convince Nathan that he should share. It was a riot. You will see in the gallery.
Things are melting outside. That will bring us joy.... We will see how tomorrow's weather is when it happens.
The dogs have been having a lot of fun. Thyme was so tired she fell asleep standing up. They do play hard but they also take naps throughout the day. They are all looking forward to laying all over us and watching tv with a treat. We are looking forward to having them on us.
Enjoy your Valentine's Day. Do something special for your dogs and for yourself.

Happy Valentine's Day to the whole Talemaker crew and visiting doggies with special love to Jeannie from Patches and to Roxie from Radar. And special love to Darlah and Nathan for letting us enjoy our darling dogs. We love them so.❤️💕❤️💕
Dogs do love deeply - that's why they stare longingly into my eyes...or maybe they're trying to tell me they want treats. lol.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow! Happy VD.
Thanks for sharing about Jeannie and Raven. So interesting.
Murphy is so funny in the snow. I dug paths and she prefers to jump through the deep snow. She looks like a bunny
I see that Cooper really worked hard to 'convince' Nathan that he should share his food..
I see Risa thoroughly enjoying making snow angels again.
The picture of Jeannie giving 'instructions. to Raven is cute.
I think that Jeannie is really enjoying her little gal Raven.
Oh my goodness , Russell and I just had such a good laugh....that's Cooper's M.O. for sure. It's a riot! Wonderful photos of Risa in the snow. Just melts my heart to see her so happy and enjoying life. Great Valentines gallery!
I'm about to go to bed now and just looked at Coop's pics again with Nathan....I think I will sleep well tonight. That's my boy, he's happy :-)
Gorgeous photos of Ozzie--thank you!
Wonderful pictures of such beautiful dogs. I especially like those of Cooper (food hound), Jeannie, and Risa. Wow, Havanese are such a sight; some long haired, some short, and all different colours. So many mixtures in the same breed. Unbelievable.
