Quirky Weather

Here is the gallery.

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.

What a Day

Here is the gallery.

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. 

Cold Brr

Here is the gallery.

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

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

Happy Thanksgiving Monday

Here is the gallery.

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!

Two Blog Day

Here is the gallery.

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!

Happy 5th

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.

Turkey Day

Here is the gallery.

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!

TGIF in October

Here is the gallery.

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. 

Three Blog Day

Here is the gallery.

We have 2 happy birthday blogs and this main blog for the day.

It's not exceedingly warm but tomorrow is supposed to be.

Dogs have been having fun. Dennis is building a cheap table that I ordered LAST year and it arrived today. They finally found it and they delivered it. They had already refunded me so I of course contacted them and they said no charge. Just glad you finally got it. It is a table that goes behind the couch so the dogs have a comfortable spot to lay behind on high. It is a quirky idea but I like the dogs being comfortable.

Thank you to Dorothy who drove all the way here to bring us chicken soup. How nice is that?

I still have to stain 2 beds that attach to my bed that I got from a friend. I am not sure if I simply don't have time or I am lazy. Tomorrow should be the day but we have friends coming over to eat out back for one last time till warmth comes again. 

I only have 1 more dog to comb out. 

After the table Dennis is going to run with the dogs. I also have a turkey defrosting in the fridge. Everyone keeps nagging me to cook it but it is still frozen. 

Not enough time - too much to do. I want the dog's life. Feed me, play with me, and well just have fun!

Happy 4th

Luna wishes her siblings a very happy birthday!!!

Happy 5th

Ellie wishes her siblings a very happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday

Happy 9th to Radar

… and to all his siblings. ❤️🎂

Watching the Laze and Play

Here is the gallery.

We had some early rain and now we have sun but then again clouds now. Mother nature can't make up its mind. 

Some played. Some watched. Then they exchange positions. 

Dogs are having fun. Nathan is cooking dinner for the  dogs. Life is good with food!

The Play is CRAZY

Here is the gallery.

The dogs was truly enjoying the play. It was nice to see. Run, run and more run then rest and watch.

Tenshi, Jax, Katie and Trigger departs tomorrow. They will be missed! Ms Sadie is coming tomorrow - fun!!

Coco is going to be thrilled seeing her sister Hazel tomorrow and Ellie will take over her spot from Ella. LOL. 

It is Dennis day off tomorrow. Mine is Thursday. 

I keep getting asked when I am cooking turkey - well not today, tomorrow or Thursday. LOL Maybe Friday? We shall see. Are you waiting for the day?

Tongues Has It

Here is the gallery.

It is almost Thanksgiving and we were able to buy a 25lb butterball. Yum - leftovers and the dogs say this too. LOL

It is indeed cooler. The dogs don't mind but I am finding my fall/winter pants too big. What a thing to complain about but falling down pants are not desirable.

Dogs are departing this week and more come for the next holiday. Those that depart will miss the yum turkey. Hoping they get some at home.

Dogs played hard. They are barking for dinner. Life is predictable and well at the same time not. The dogs keep you on your toes. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Before It Rains

Here is the gallery.

They say 80% rain but now it is 40% and still no rain. We had the dogs out a ton. They had so much fun. Many dogs are departing and more will come for Thanksgiving. We have to get a turkey so we have leftovers for the dogs. Priorities and it is a motivation to cook. Who has time to cook but if I can cook and have leftovers, I will figure out time. 

The dogs ran and played and had a grand time. Those that needed to be brushed was brushed. 

Tomorrow we may hunt for a good sized Butterball - perhaps at Fortinos. We shall see. I may or may not cook it on the day. We shall see. We tend to time it so at dinner the dogs have warm turkey in their food dishes. They aren't spoiled, are they? It makes me happy to see how they gobble it up.

As you are out and about, it is getting to be that season. You may choose to mask up. I already know a friend has covid. So, it is something to think about. I haven't seen her for a bit so I wasn't exposed. 

I need to stain two dog beds that sit up next to your bed. I really need to get it done before it gets too cold. 

If you are looking for a desk that is motorized that goes up and down, Best Buy has 2 colours cheap - white is more expensive, black is cheaper but both a savings of over 500 dollars. 

Playing

Here is the gallery.

The dogs had a delicious amount of fun today. That cover means fun to them. I am glad. That cover means no more swimming to me but it is too cold to swim. It wastes money having heat go up in the air. 

We haven't seen the rabbits for days now. Harlow has looked daily multiple times a day but birds are flying to drink water and she notices them.

We have another large dog here due to a wedding. He is doing well. Though Sage barks too much at him. Get over it, Sage!

The sun is shining. I am not grooming today other than Ellie. My hands are crazy but it should be gone tomorrow. Today the scissors was hard to grip. We managed. I find 24 hours of rest is good.

It has been an excellent day for the dogs.

Cooler Times

Here is the gallery.

Long day grooming. Hands re hurting even to type. Going to make this short... sorry.

It does seem like it is cooling down. Dogs like it. 

Everyone is getting along quite well. They each enjoy each other.

I have 30 minutes before I need to clean up and do all the water dishes and pads so this is it, folks. I need some downtime even if its for a half hour.

Cool Coming?

Here is the gallery.

We are trying to figure out when to take in plant pots. So, we are watching the weather as they say cold is coming and maybe the white stuff. REALLY??? You are lying weather people. LOL

Dogs are having fun.

Charlotte, Jamie, Bailey and Maki go home today. Each will be missed.

Tonight we are going to watch a movie with Clooney and Pitt in it. The dogs and us will be watching. LOL By Monday perhaps sweats. Today short sleeves.

Nathan made wonderful chicken and the dogs and I love it! They eat warm just cooked chicken as if they are getting a grand meal.
