What a Day

What a day. We have had a lot of playing going on.
We started out this morning setting up bowls, adding Fromms, adding ground chicken - our usual breakfast. At night we cook ground veal, turkey, chicken - something to add to the Fromms. Well this morning, an unknown dog managed to get up to the counter and push a bowl off and all over the floor it went. That same dog went after the treats but we caught him and now we have treats, food and everything up high. LOL I have to appreciate the determination!
Inula is a TT and a large dog. She could counter surf but she won't dare.
Tonight when we lined up the dishes on the counter I stood there guarding them. Each time this particular dog tried again, I rewarded him when he sat down. The rest were miffed wondering why he was getting treated and they were not.
There is never a dull moment around here.
We have had dogs ruin outdoor cushions, eat tables, scratch doors. But we learn from it each time someone does something as it gives us an opportunity to use positive training.
Katie is here as Ruth was rushed to the hospital. We do not know anything else about it as her lady that helps her brought her. Our thoughts are with her.
Remember folks, if something happens make sure someone knows that the dog can come here and give them our contact info.
Katie fit in like she has always been here so no worries, Ruth!
It's interesting the relationships that are developing. We have a full house through the weekend. Nothing liek dogs draped all over you. It's the best!

You are incredible—offering the best possible emergency shelter!
The Talemaker Household is the very best. Any room for me?? Maybe when the son moves out haha! Dogs always know who loves them.
Love the last photo of Cooper with the beautiful flowers as backdrop
Wishing Ruth a speedy recovery. Katie must be happy to hang out with her doggy family. I am so grateful for Talemaker to be always available to help us out in case of emergency. I never worry when Tenshi is there because Talemaker is her first home.
Positive thoughts to Ruth. I agree with Sylvia, such a relief to know that you are available to care for our babies in case of an emergency. No doubt Katie will miss her mommy but she is in good hands.
Talemaker helped me out when I needed to have Kona looked after on short notice. I am forever thankful for their kindness. The dogs all love to visit and we humans have one less thing to worry about..
Best Wishes to Ruth. Who is the little doll in #1123 ?
I am so sorry to hear about Ruth, I certainly send all good wishes from Ed and me for a complete and speedy recovery. I wouldn’t want our dogs anywhere else in a crisis and we have had a couple. Talemaker, you have been there for us and for that I am truly grateful!
That is Zoe
