Blogging and Dawgs

I was trying to remember how many years I have been doing the dog blogs. I think its been 15 years. I used to do them on blogger and now here. I have never missed a day. Sometimes short. Sometimes not saying a heck of a lot but still posting. The family thinks I am crazy and should do a blog a couple of times a week. Can you imagine? What happens to capturing the dog that is only here a day or 2? Nah that won't work. 

Here is the gallery.

The dogs are really curious when we take the pups out. They whine to get in. They jump on the sides and they give kisses through the xpen. It is good exposure for the puppies and for the adults.

Ozzie is truly smitten with Ella. You see she smells of milk and that must be a good memory for him. 

It is interesting what dogs relate to as good memories as you can see them reacting in such glee to certain moments that you know remind them of something.

Tomorrow night we are going to Wicked so the blog will be extra short. Our daughter bought her dad Nathan a ticket and I bought myself a ticket next to him so he had company. LOL I hope we like it.

Today is Dennis' day off. This allows him to just do what he wants without cleaning, feeding and all the crazy things we do in a day. It is something each of us look forward to. We just started this and its hard to get my day off due to groomings etc I do try.

I have yet to do the patio area in the middle garden bed. It's amazing I got what I got done. 

None of the dogs got seeds on them today - thank you, Dennis!

My green beans are growing like crazy. I am adding them to salads and I have to start researching some recipes. My berries are yum edible now though the raspberries are just starting to fruit. I miss a certain dog that used to eat them before I got to them in years past. 

What a hot season so far this is and well the dogs they like it cooler. heh

Unless I am in the pool, I like it cooler too.

Always enjoy reading your daily blog, a ritual for me. I don’t always comment, lately life is unfolding at a fast pace but enjoy the blogs just the same. Certainly love getting updates when our pooches are with you ❤️

Thank you for blogging the way you do, I know it’s a lot of work. Nice for us to know what’s happening with the Talemaker family, because that is who you are to us, family ❤️

I agree with Anne!
Always look forward to reading your blogs at the end of my day! ❤️

I read the blogs everyday although I do not always comment. I really enjoy them.
I watch the videos occasionally and I enjoy the galleries. I love to see the puppies when they begin to relate humans and other dogs. I do not know how you manage to accomplish what you do in one day. Thank you.

Me too! I can’t always check everyday, but that’s nice too. When I get a chance, there is a little cluster to catch up on! Love the blogs, so thanks very much for taking the time to do them. And you’re gonna love Wicked!

I have read every blog since I first connected with you, almost a year before I got Murphy! It’s my ritual to crawl in bed and read each blog and look at the galleries. Hope you enjoy Wicked. I hear it’s great!
