Dear Darlah and Nathan,
Today is Bonnie’s 7th Birthday! I can’t believe she is 7 years old already. I treasure her each day and every day. She loves meeting people, and is truly a social butterfly. Thanks again for bringing her into my life.

Charlie is wondering what he is getting today for his birthday.

Sniffing the cool air - ah fall is here!
The dogs are enjoying the cool air. I am not sure I am. I do not think Nathan is either as he complains that it is not sitting out in the sun weather. Oh well... It is what it is.
We are already filling up for the Christmas holiday. So, if you need us, let us know sooner than later.
I broached the idea of a snowplow this year or a snowblower. Nathan says - nope can't afford it. Dennis will do. OMG! Each year I broach the subject and each year I give up.
It will be interesting when the white stuff arrives how welcoming the dogs are to it! I hope we get some and they love it. I may have to buy snowpants so I can stay out there with them. Tis the season....
Who out there does trick or treat or handing out candy with their dogs? We shut off the lights as we do not want to dogs to have barking frenzies. I don't want to stress them out. So we go dark and quietly watch tv. What about you?
Friday, October 25, 2024 at 3:40PM We have a mini gallery as the rain arrived. Harlow was obviously so miffed as the rabbits and squirrels hidaway when it rains and it was as if she said what the... when we opened the door. Even Nathan said it was too cold to sit outside under the gazebo. He missed that as it is his day off. Dennis is tomorrow!
But play they did! Rain may come but it surely doesn't destroy the day. We just move the fun indoors!
Thursday, October 24, 2024 at 3:53PM I am grooming a ton and the dogs are playing. I get to see the wild play inbetween grooms. They truly have an outstanding time playing till they need to rest.
The play is exceptional today. I love it when it is.
Even Rusty was pouncing on Luna. They do have a lot of fun. Can you imagine if you eat and play all day?
Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at 4:06PM It was warm enough to sit outside but cooler than yesterday. The dogs didn't seem to mind. Dogs arrived - dog's are going and fun is had by all. Marli and Cassie keeps everyone on their toes. Oh the others too and now that Ozzie is gone, someone needs to motivate them to play and play. They don't need much motivation but it helps when someone nags you to get out of that chair.
It was a good day!
Tuesday, October 22, 2024 at 6:06PM Is this the last warm day of 2024? It was incredibly lovely to have a day off sitting outside. I did get to go to the dollar store for some tootsie roll pops. I also got into Winners and I simply enjoyed the weather. Tomorrow maybe rain and cooler. Oh well...
Sadie and Cassie played up a storm all day. Most of the dogs sat outside with me outside and took in the warmth. Oh, they ran and played too but they truly soaked it in. You could tell by their expressions.
I wish I had the pool today but the dogs sure enjoyed the cover and running and bouncing.
I hope everyone enjoyed some moments outside. We may have to wait till April to see warmth again. sigh
I have much anxiety about the US election. I did vote. We shall see how it all unfolds. Whatever happens, the dogs will get me by.
Monday, October 21, 2024 at 4:15PM The dogs and I are enjoying this weather. It is incredibly lovely. The dogs just want to be out and play and play and play! Can you blame them? I am even walking around in summer clothes. What a tease before cold comes.
There is incredible games being played with the squirrel and rabbit chasing. Don't worry. They won't do them harm. They are simply playing a game. At least raccoons and skunks aren't around. I am forever thankful for that!
I have had a lot of fun watching the running and the exhaustion after engaging in play. They come in. They nap and start again. We do not have our heat on. We actually still have air on. How about you?
Sunday, October 20, 2024 at 3:36PM Look at Bailey's mouth wide open with glee. It does my heart good to see dogs having a grand time.
It is warm. Leaves have fallen.
The dogs are having fun and it is lovely weather.
What a fine Sunday it is.
Dogs going all day today into the night but till then they are playing like their life depends on it. It is truly outstanding!
Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 7:19PM The plane - the plane.... Got to have some amusement and watching planes is one of them for the dogs.
I had a long day as I had to do 2 dogs last that are going home 1st thing tomorrow. May they stay clean. LOL
Dogs had a TON and I mean a ton of fun. I was able to see them each time I finished a dog. One has to have some amusement when you are working hard. It is called pacing one self.
It is Dennis day off so no running with the dogs. That's okay. There is always tomorrow.
Yesterday I did a sweatshirt that we need to mail out. It came out perfect and it is so her. We will get it mailed out Monday. It is for a dear friend that I know will look at it and laugh as I so know her. It was a surprise. It is ever so nice to create memories.
I am so tired, I am not thinking. Now that is funny.
The dogs are enjoying tv time - which they adore with Nathan. Dennis is playing a VR video game with dogs lined up beside him on chairs he places so they can.
We have a number of dogs departing tomorrow. More on Monday... Watch out. It will get quiet around here and what will I talk about? We shall see...
Friday, October 18, 2024 at 3:13PM Dogs are having fun. We get up at 7am and its so dark outside. By the time they have finished eating it is light out.
It is a warmer day today and the dogs are playing their heart out. It is great fun to watch.
Rue, Oakley and Chloe departed. Tuppy, Socks and Hazel hasarrived and what players are they! Even Socks is crazy fun busy. He was so excited to be here.
Everyone is having a blast.
Time to get up those leaves and find a snow plow guy that will do the garden come spring. Just got to face reality that I have grooming and silly added stuff. Nathan can only do less and Dennis has enough on his plate so now Dennis will have to clean the garage so the van go inside and they can plow - that is if we have snow this year.
A few days ago I stained some upright dog beds and they are still tacky. Oh boy. Can't do another coat when it takes so long.
Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 6:34PM Dogs had a ton of fun today. I started grooming at 7am and just finished about 2o minutes ago. Dennis just fed all the dogs and is now creating dinner for me. How nice.
The dogs ran, played, jumped and had a grand time.
Tomorrow is my day off. I am ever so looking forward to tepanyaki and good company. I need it! I have a feeling my company needs it too.
Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 4:09PM The dogs are staying warm by running around. It is cold and I am getting nagged to stain 2 huge dog bed pieces so after this blog, I will attempt to do so - joy - not. Wasn't it enough to do the pots. LOL
Stop whining - just do it!
The dogs had fun. I need to go find old ugly clothes to stain in.
We are almost out of leftovers - can you believe. Well, the dogs have had their fair share but I thought weeks not days. Due to holidays we have extra dogs - so of course.
Hope you had a great holiday weekend!

Happy 5th Birthday to our sweet Abby and her siblings. Thank you to Nathan , Darlah and Dennis for giving us such a wonderful little love and Stone and Leti for making such wonderful puppies… Happy Thanksgiving to all !
Sue and Zoey
We can’t believe our Benny is already 5! Time goes by too fast.
He is the sweetest dog and we are crazy about him! He is such a charmer, both with people and other dogs. Even the most moody ones. We often hear from other owners how their dog doesn’t like or is afraid of other dogs and are surprised by how the dog gets along with Benny. We tell them that’s because he is Talemaker’s. They always get to hear the story about how much love and attention goes into every little detail of everything you do.
Wishing all of Benny’ siblings happy birthday!
Wishing you all Happy Thanksgiving,
Georgia, Nesh and Marko
Monday, October 14, 2024 at 3:57PM We were asked to get a photo of the brothers, Ollie, Ozzie and Meelo by Ollie's mom. It was SO HARD to get them all to look in one direction so we gave up and corralled them in this area and Nathan kept talking to them. It was our challenge today!
As you will see in this gallery the dogs were playing immenseley. What you don't see is Harlow got under brush looking for animals and had seeds all through her. One has to laugh or you would cry. Then Socks went looking for what she was looking for and nothing on him. hmmm
It is a great day!
Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 2:41PM Be sure to read the next blog too!
The dogs are having a TON of fun. They are so enjoying the pool cover. We have dogs arriving due to the holiday weekend and some dogs departing. It's an amazing amount of fun that they are indulging in.
Tonight Dennis is going to add chicken broth to their food to add fun flavour. Will thjey eat it? I think so....
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Our wonderful Bailey is 5 years old today - where does the time go? We celebrated this weekend by taking her to pet stores, having a Scent Den sensory experience, getting lots of toys and treats, and enjoying a day of play at Talemaker. Wishing Bailey, Benny, Benji, Abby, Coco, and Tempie a wonderful day!!! It is not just a birthday but also Thanksgiving and we want to share as well that we are so grateful to Talemaker for always being there for us over the past 5 years. Nathan, Darlah, and Dennis, thank you for being Bailey's extended family, answering our questions, being so supportive at all times, keeping Bailey well-groomed and happy, playing with her and giving her so much love every time she comes to visit! Your support and love has been such a big part of the joy we have experienced with Bailey over the past 5 years (with many more to come!). Thank you for everything. Love Pippa, Judy, and Liz.
Saturday, October 12, 2024 at 4:06PM Very busy day. Cooked turkey, grooming and all that stuff.
The dogs are staring at the turkey waiting for their plates - yes Dash too. I am keeping it warm so they can have warm turkey for dinner. Dennis is cutting it up now. So much work to do a big meal and do everything else. Turkey came out PERFECT. It is very moist and tasty. The dogs will enjoy it too. Then after dinner Dennis is going to do a run with them.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
Friday, October 11, 2024 at 7:21PM Just another day in October. The dogs are having fun.
We had Yvonne and Alex over and ate Chinese food.
They got their dog fix in and we had a wonderful time catching up.
We ate outside. Dogs were running but we forgot to take photos. It was simply enjoyment and not concentrating on the clicks.
It was a good day!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I went out to the mailbox and it looks like everyone is starting the holiday early as we had cars up and down the street.
Tomorrow Tia, Benji and Dash depart.
