This is what I call the motley crew. I combed them out and then they look like I didn't touch them for weeks but they sure had fun!
I have a puppy to wash that is departing Saturday. I also have 2 other adults to do. Oh boy so blogs will be almost non existent.

It is hard to believe our little Sweet Breeze is 9 already! She has had a great birthday in Vero Beach for her birthday again and they just love chasing the geckos here and look up everywhere when walking. Lots of cuddles and hugs as everyday, and she and her brother Chinook got filet of beef for dinner. Breeze has been such a blessing and is the sweetest ever but also has quite the personality we love, and has the best GPS and will decide what streets she wants to go on and how far!
Love and Birthday Wishes to all her siblings, and thank you to Darlah and Nathan for all you do as we are so lucky to have our duo💕
Darlah,
Here is the princess on her birthday. Nine and not a single wrinkle.
Carol
Darlah
Happy 9th Coco, Summer Breeze, Finnegan and Raylan from the Talemaker crew. Hope I got this one right!

Ringo is in love with Stormy. The play was fun today. It was entirely busy. I am late getting blogs done so they will be short.
Pepi, Simba and Ty arrived, Reggie departed. Tomorrow Ringo and Dallas departs and Rusty comes for the day. Friday I am out. When I return home I get to wash Meelo for a departure on Saturday.
Everything seems to be at a fast pace.

The beauty of dogs is I am not sure we have ever had a day without play in our lives. It is wonderful to watch. This is Meelo and Sadie playing. This was after his vet visit.
The dogs are looking forward to tv time with Nathan and I - yes and me too. I have missed it so. To have dogs in my lap cuddling - the best!!

I just formatted my memory card and there goes a gallery so I managed to get a few but the gallery is lean.
In this gallery I got Elvis playing with Meelo. As I said, he plays with all.
Sorry I didn't get everyone. I can't beliueve it but sometimes I just do something stupid. I think I need a day off. LOL
Tomorrow Dusty and Mickey departs. Mickey and Ringo also loves Meelo. Harlow arrives tomorrow.
Cold wave coming!
Here is Ali, Reggie, Charlie and Mickey playing. Meelo and Dallas was trying to get in on the game too.

Shoshi is an old lady now but boy she still manages fun.
Today Dolly and Trouble departed. Dolly's mom brought me a wonderful Turkish beach towel - thank you! I can't wait till summer to use it at the pool.
They say a deep freeze is coming this week. Not fun for the dogs or the humans.
On Friday I head off to Canada Blooms and the Home Show with Sherry. I am looking forward to it tremendously. Blogs will be very short Friday.
I had to wash Spirit and Ali today as they do snow dives that creates snowballs all over them and they started to mat. They were due for a bath but I hadn't planned on ot being today. Expect the unexpected.
Let's hope they are wrong about the deep freeze but no snowballs when it is cold.
Saturday, March 2, 2019 at 6:10PM The dogs had fun playing today in and outside. Ringo and Mickey arrived. Charlie departed. Tomorrow Dolly and Trouble depart. Dusty and Amy arrive. Amy is here for the day. Soon it will be March Break.
You will also see Adele and River in the gallery sporting very short coats.
Its been a day but I have to take the crew of 11 upstairs. It's time. The rest of the blogs - later!

At least there is enough of a blanket of snow that it is not slippery.
Sadie and Marlee arrived and we were excited to see them again. They both fit in so well. The crew really enjoyed having Ollie here. They enjoyed him and he enjoyed them. It was wonderful.
Murphy and Ali have been playing like crazy today. Ali doesn't take no as an answer if she wants to play and Murphy did want to play.
I didn't get a photo of it but Dallas laid half on, half off on Ali's head and Ali just laid there. By the time I got the camera, she had moved. It was darn cute.
Brewer was here for the day and was full blast running through the snow. I bet he is tired tonight.
Charlie has been finding Ali is mighty endearing. I may of got photos of them playing. I hope.
These days I rush through the galleries and don't have time to look at each photo. Sorry.
Just know the dogs have been having a ton of fun!
Thursday, February 28, 2019 at 5:57PM Dogs had a full day. It is interesting who is playing with whom. It switches out. Ali seems to play with all. Dallas seems to like Sky. I could go on and on but everyone is doing really well.
We have a puppy departing so this is a short blog tonight.
Yes, we got a tad bit more of snow and nothing else.Good weather on the way? You tell me!
Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 1:33PM 
Dallas says, really?
Yes, it is snowing! The dogs run, play and then run back in. LOL
They will have many more opportunities to play in the snow but I won't be clicking. I will be playing instead. Forgive me!
Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at 5:48PM 
The melt is now ice and I find myself holding on to things to walk. I am so tired of ice and the dogs are too. But I find the back of the yard is pure snow. You can walk easily on it. they say more snow is coming tomorrow.
The dogs are really having fun and even the visitors are enjoying the wee pups.
Stay safe tomorrow, that is if the storm materializes. Our 110km winds didn't here. We are thankful. We had wind and the dogs did well. I am a firm believer in taking them out under the gazebo in a storm. You fear what you do not know and I love storms till they create damage. I think the dogs feed off of me and my enjoyment.
Monday, February 25, 2019 at 12:48PM 
Here's Shoshi blowing in the wind. It's windy but not as windy as all around us, it seems. From Angela, to Christine the weather is awful and we seem to be in this void of yeah windy but not so bad. Good thing as Dennis couldn't bring in our lights as the solar cords were frozen into the ground.
Here is a gallery. I may add to it later but not now.
Dogs are all playing with the 2 pups. It is nice. They are back in their xpen now and sleeping.
Dogs are playing indoors and out but mostly indoors today. It has become bitter cold.
For those of us that are facing brownouts or blackouts, we are here - no charge in case there is a need.
Sunday, February 24, 2019 at 4:55PM 
We had the pups out with the adults. They did really well. You will see a gallery of them and videos on the Raven blog.
Weather is okay. No 110km winds they have been predicting so far. We did have a pond out front and back due to the warm weather that is about to drop and turn to ice. Dogs got mighty messy.
I am going to do short blogs again as I am simply exhausted. Still have to bring the younger set upstairs and finish blogs.
Murphy, Levon, Trigger, Coco and Cody departed. We already miss them. Charlie returned tonight in case the weather gets bad. I don't blame her. Everyone came early, it seems - well almost everyone.
Till tomorrow!
Saturday, February 23, 2019 at 7:32PM 
Marco departed - Charlie too. We had 3 pups go home. I washed 1 pup and 9 dogs today. That's a new record considering we also had the pups departing and me not grooming during that time. I am DEAD... well I feel that way and I have blogs to do.
Dogs have had fun.
I am doing short blogs across the board.
Friday, February 22, 2019 at 6:55PM 
This is what Murphy looks like after she has napped. Have to laugh.
Today we had 2 pups go home. I also had to wash 3 pups, 3 adult dogs and I am spent but I must get the younger set upstairs.
Dogs have had fun today. Tomorrow Marco and Charlie depart. Sunday Cody, Coco, Levon and Trigger. Tonight I heard Nathan say - I will see you tomorrow to Tenshi and its Friday.
The dogs must think we are nuts.
Off to upstairs with the younger set.
Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 6:17PM 
You will see some mighty messy dogs in this gallery. We had a meltdown and the dogs got soaked. Now we have a freeze. Got to love it.
In this photo you will see them so intent on feeding time. Nathan is creating the dishes and well tonight they had bacon added into their food.
I am still brushing out dogs as they got to be rather a mess but they had so much fun. Only Murphy is in decent shape. Funny how that worked out. It's an ice rink out there now and there is a shortage of salt for streets etc so drive safe.
Marco goes home on Saturday. He's going to sleep for a week. Cody, Coco, Levon and Trigger depart on Sunday. Pups are also going those days. The play that has been going on with this crew has been amazing.
Dennis is going to watch the pups so I can have tv time, snuggles and grooming on my lap.
Wednesday, February 20, 2019 at 12:16PM 
Short blog today. I was up till 4am with Kat. He was insistent on keeping just me up. This morning, he had a massive bowel movement and he seems better. Sorry about being graphic but I am dead. I need sleep so short blogs it is.
You can only view the live view action on an ipad or iphone. It makes sense but too bad.
These two should get together. The moms would love seeing how well they adore each other.
Tuesday, February 19, 2019 at 3:33PM 
Very bright sun. This is the year of the melt and ice. We have gone through so much to try to make it safe to come to our house and every other day it feels as if we are throwing more salt out so no one falls.
This is Amy who was visiting. She had a spruce up.
This is a mega headache day. I had a dematting job and our garage door - well the bottom half stayed in the ice and the top half went up breaking the door. Got to love this luck we have. How much are garage doors? I don't want to know. Nathan is figuring it out.
While Nathan was out food shopping, I had each dog come one by one for hugs and hang outs on my lap. Now that was fun.
Dogs are playing wonderfully. Charlie, Ty, Amy and Benny went home today or is going home.
Harlow has decided she likes the Casper bed. We got a deal on them due to a rescue sale - 35.00 for a 150. bed. The dogs try to take over this bed and if Harlow gets up they run for it, I guess they like it. But Harlow makes sure she always gets it back. LOL
Monday, February 18, 2019 at 8:02PM 
This is Teddy. He was here for the day. He had a lot of fun and so did we watching Teddy and everyone else.
You will also see Reggie. I didn't cut his front legs. A groomer downtown did. No one has time to deal with knots, it seems.
Everyone has been playing like crazy. You will see some in the gallery.
But this is a short blog again as - well I have 2 more blogs to do, galleries to build then all my chores. LOL
We had these litters as we didn't want everyone to wait so long and then we had them and some chose to wait anyways. We can't win but never will we go through this craziness again. I will not cut corners for dog care and puppy care. So what goes? The tv, relax time, sleep. LOL
Dennis looked at me and said we really need to get the Cinnamon pups upstairs to play.
How old are they? LOL
I do so love the dogs. I mean that from the depths of my soul.
Sunday, February 17, 2019 at 6:06PM 
This is Benny, Kat's brother. He is visiting us. He is a wonderful love!
The past few days Marco and Cody have been playing up s a storm but I finally had a camera on hand when they were in mid action. You will also see many of the others playing like crazy.
It's been a day of huge fun for all.
Nathan is taking a nap with those that wanted to go. When we have a busy day he takes one late. The dogs enjoy the naps too!
