Happy 1st: Cinnamon Crew

Hello Darlah and Nathan,

I wanted to send you a photo of Juno, now 1!  She’s an amazing pup who makes the whole family smile. My kids have said that they can’t imagine their world without her, and neither can I.  She greets everyone she meets and is an all around happy girl. She has done well in two puppy classes, and is also novice tricks certified. She waves goodbye and is a champion at giving high fives. 

She is happy and full of energy and love. 

And, her eyebrows rock!

Thank you again for our girl, 

Andrea 

Check out this video. This is Daisy Gal.

Luna must know today is special because she has been playing all day and teasing Rusty. Happy Birthday to all her siblings from Luna. And a special happy Birthday to Rebel who will always be older than Luna ( by one week but still the older one)

Three Blog Post: Happy 2nd Birthday

Look at her happy smile!

She's a beauty and a real sweetheart.

Mandy and her siblings are 2 today!

Three Blog Post

We have 2 blogs today.

Here is the gallery.

Nathan still could not find a Butterball Turkey so he broke down and got a fresh turkey that I will cook tomorrow. I need to cook it first thing in the morning so I can send home a plate to someone who said she hasn't had a thanksgiving meal for years. She's coming tomorrow to drop off her havanese. He didn't get a large one but good enough. Hopefully it will come out well.

Tenshi and Jersey is going home early - tonight. Logan, Panda, Coco the maltese is here for the day.

It's wet outside so dogs that hate to go out keep filling the pads that we change and change. LOL

I tried to do dog tags with resin and how long does it take to dry under lights. Oh boy maybe not the best choice.

When it is rainy or wet outside I do believe TV time is mist enjoyable. They get lazy and want to chill like us humans. They are still playing as you will see in a few videos we posted but chilling is the name of the game. Tomorrow turkey gets added to their meals. Yum!

Happy 1st: Sage Crew

Hi Nathan and Darlah,

Happy birthday to Sage, Cinnamon and Spirits pups!

Benjamin stopped by to celebrate and for a play. We tried to get some action shots, but they were a furry, fuzzy bunch of pics. Here's the best one:

I hope you're doing well.

Basil, Duncan, Monika, Annalise, Michaela and Klara

Private Benjamin would like to send Happy Birthday wishes to his brother and sisters. He has had a wonderful first year and hopes they have as well.

Mandy

Just love this little dog. Cute, but quite mischievous sometimes. Keeps me laughing all day. 

Two Blog Day: Happy 6th!

Radar’s 6th birthday.  Happy Birthday to Stone and all of Radar’s siblings. ❤️

Wet Again Thanksgiving Weekend

Here is the gallery.

It's wet out again. In celebration of Stone's birthday, he shared his treats. Really, the dogs are fine with it as long as everyone gets one.

Dogs are mostly staying indoors as its wet outside but when they did go out, Dennis clicked.

Levon and Trigger has departed and I swear Hallie is sulking.

Oh the dogs and the newcomers are so enjoying each other. They are looking for more treats.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Start of the Holiday

Cosmo just arrived and he is already playing with Opus. Mr. Brewer is visiting - rather special when he does. Ms Harlow thinks feeding time is at 4pm vs 430 as Dennis fed at that time a few days ago and she tells time.

Here is today's gallery.

The dogs are really playing like crazy and our trees are shedding. LOL Time to close the pool.

Told Nathan to get a turkey. He says no butterballs but he also said no BBQ chips. Instead he brought home BBQ corn chips. Oh boy. Someone said they were ordering from Swiss Chalet. I went up on their site and NO PRICES. Really - that was a futile attempt and its chicken - I know but maybe next best thing? At least it comes with pumpkin pie and gravy? Not mine but... Thinking I need to take over shopping and Nathan needs to take over grooming. yeah... Now that is hysterical.

Levon, Trigger and Murphy boy departs tomorrow. Bailey, Jersey, Kally and Murphy gal is coming. It's a truly outstanding group and are so pleased to see Levon playing his fool head off even with the gals. This duo - longtime coming but so delightful to reunite even if for a short period of time. So lucky when we get to see those we haven't for a long time due to covid. Thank you families for adding to our joy!

Wet Lazing

Here is the gallery.

Some dogs do not care if their undersides get wet and some do a dance in wet grass. Which type do you have? Each dog has a unique personality and to be honest, I have had a number of breeds in our lives since I was born but there is nothing like the havanese. If I am feeling bad, they are right there without any expectations. All they want is you. LOL

Dogs had a good day. I still have one more dog to do. Ms Coco Spirit's pup is here till this evening. So is Mr. Ripley. Love is still in the air with you know who. Can you hear your human mom - give it a rest but Hallie doesn't care. Ms Coco the Maltese was here and she is so fun. She is now home. Tchibo and Barney spent a fair bit of time trying to root out a chipmunk. They were fascinated. Tomorrow Bailey, Tenshi and Cosmo come.

I want to wish everyone a fine Thanksgiving holiday. Our family is dropping their dogs off here so they can go do their thing. I said bring me leftovers and she said oh mom we are not doing that. Well, no one cooks a turkey like me. We are working but that's okay too. I get to spend the time with their dogs. Yes, laughing...

Now off to groom...

The Play Of It

Look who is playing most any day too.

Here is the gallery.

The running joke is - been too long so my brain is foggy - is that Trigger is a play monkey and Levon is not. But its not so here if I have that right. Let me just say Trigger is Romeo - yeah that is right!

I am doing the blog early. It's my day off. Nathan is taking his usual nap with the dogs. Dennis and I want the next edition of Foundations to come out. What a cliff hanger. I am so enjoying that show.

I am doing a side business for dog bags (loot bags filled with goodies) for breeders. That is what all these crazy classes are about. I am doing another one on sublimation. I think I have etching down on metal and acrylic. I am learning and I always enjoy learning. HTV and vinyl - easy now.

Soon the dogs will be helping us take our plants in. We do that yearly to save buying new the next year and you get mature plants that way. It takes work as I don't want bugs inside so we change out the soil and one by one they come in. Not all - but most pots.

Another fun time is raking leaves. The dogs always jump through that and it makes for wonderful photos. I look forward to that and yes even to snow even though Nathan REFUSES to get a snowblower. He has this idea that its good for the body. I am so laughing.

Dogs have been having a great amount of fun today.

I am cooking a roast  and guess who gets leftovers?

In Love

Trigger seems to only have eyes for Halle quite literally. He lays on top of her. Sniffs her and wherever she is he is. LOL

We had Dallas here and I took lovely photos but I changed the battery on the camera and out of habit I deleted the photos. I can't believe it but true. Ms Charlotte was here. Mr Brewski is too. It's a fun house but actually quiet. Opus is curious what Trigger is up to and Harlow just looks as if to say really? The weather gets them chill and Harlow has her fave spot. So does Levon. I guess it does that for us too. Time to chill and watch Foundations.

We had a game with a lighted ball. It was so much fun!

Here is the gallery.

That's it!

Rain and Indoor Play

Isn't this an adorable photo of Miss Harlow cuddled into a bed on high in the tv room.

Here is the gallery.

We have a fun house. Alfie departed and oh boy trying to keep him clean was so funny. Let me out. Let me get muddy. A boy with a sensational attitude.

Levon and Trigger arrived and its been  long time since they have been here and they were so excited. It was a riot. Most play has been indoors due to the weather but fun is being had.

Mr. Opus is right in the thick of it. Mr. Murphy can now see = a visor trimmed. We are now charging $5 for nail trims if they are not getting a full bath. Much cheaper than the vets.

Ms Ellie was here and she is always a play monkey.

Thanksgiving is coming up and I am working so no thanksgiving meal. <sigh> Been asking the daughter to bring me leftovers and she says she's eating out. LOL Is everyone eating out? Maybe the butterball turkeys will be on sale after the holiday. Here's hoping. They are probably hard to come by as everything seems to be. Nathan goes food shopping and says no Ms Vickies Chips, no Velveeta mac and cheese, no eclairs. Really or are you not looking. Yes, I am laughing.

Mr. Alfie was sucxh a jumping jack in the tub that I went to hold him in place and sprayed myself with shampoo in the face. I should have cameras on for these events as they are not funny at the time but boy are they after.

Hope your Monday went well. It's dog tv time!

It's October

How did October come so fast? This is Pippin and he departs tomorrow. He has been so great with everyone. It has been a long time. We caught him playing on videos and Nathan seemed to have messed up the video so will have to try again.

Here is the gallery.

Dennis is bugging me to watch Foundations. Lexi is departing soon ands well the dogs want to watch too. It was a warmish day. Dogs enjoyed inside and out and Nathan still has his office to declutter. So funny.

Tomorrow we get to see Alfie too. So looking forard to it! Levon and Trigger is arriving too - am I jazzed ot what.

Oh and Bailey's mom passed her nursing test. Woo Hoo way to go!

Something to Say

I had to post this photo as it was a riot. She had something to say. 

Here is the gallery.

There are times that expressions are simply priceless.

It was an amazingly warm day today. The dogs loved it. I got to sit outdoors after I groomed. It was a perfect Fall day. 

I was trying to use the ipad outside and the dogs climbed on my back, on my lap, beside me. It was hysterical. Hope you had a day that made you laugh.

Now I am going to conquer a class that I have not been able to complete. The dogs are all in with me. Dennis is playing a game and nathan is having soup for dinner. 

Murphy is departing today. Ty is in his element - life is good and I could go on but its time for that class.

Mischievous and Fun

This is Coco the maltese. We have our tv room dog friendly and if you look in the gallery you will see Ms. Coco climbing large obstacles like she is a bigger dog. LOL 

Here is the gallery.

Ty arrived and so did Lexi and Chloe. Mia, Daisy, Pixie, Leo, Panda and Logan came for the day.

Ms Pixie and Mr. Leo had a spa day. They even got their massage. Thank you Dorothy for the big tip. So appreciative! You will see them in the gallery and Leo was trying hard to mess himself up. LOL Everyone has been playing. Mr. Murphy thinks he is Casanova. You have to laugh. 

Warm day tomorrow. How grand in Fall. I may sit outside. Only Dennis made it outside and 

Nap Time Can We

Here is the gallery.

This is Benjamin saying can I go for our nap?

Dante and Luna departed, Benjamin and Tia departed. Mr. Maui departed. Scruffy and Pepper departs tonight. Everyone was quite lovely. They had such a wonderful time!

Weather is cool. Nothing like having puppies around. Nothing like having olders.

We have not seen Scruffy and Pepper for like forever. It is so exciting to have them here.

Is it Fall? It surely feels that way.

I am told I need to make French Toast for dinner - really?

Nice Day Still

Here is today's gallery.

Today is my day off and boy you can tell with the lack of brushing hahahahaha Oh Nathan.... but he did go get Chicken Teriyaki for lunch and sushi for me. I keep getting Facebook ads for turkey and I must make one as teh dogs enjoy it so. Yes, I am laughing but oh so true.

Nathan has a class tonight with Ronnie and her Luna. I have a date with Foundations again.

Dante and Luna and Pepper and Scruffy dropped in. Such amazing fun is going on.

I am doing classes today - yeah that again but really I can make things for the puppy bags and do it well as I learn. I also got asked to do Christmas Ornaments with photos of dogs on them. That should be fun.

Well back to classes. I so want buttered popcorn from the theater but Nathan will be at class. can't have everything that you want and ordering it for delivery is well can't buy enough to get the minimum. I can only eat a medium bag. So till next weeks day off.

Good Day

Here is the gallery.

Dennis is waiting for me to watch Foundations on Apple TV. So, this will be short and sweet.

Everyone had a great time and now we are settling into tv time. Every now and then you have to. I hope this show is a good one.

Nathan got to talk to Ruth. Katie is enjoying herself. Daidy was here and decided she wanted to play more. LOL Rosey was here and had a total blast. She's Nami's sister. Mr Brewski is here chasing squirrels. Our pool is green but we finally found shock to get rid of the green. We shall see. Next year a new salt machine - joy.

Hope your week is going well. Off to tv.

Man on a Mission

Got to love Shlomo. He makes you smile.

Very small gallery - only.

Dogs had fun today. I groomed a great deal. Got a full schedule tomorrow. Ms Tenshi departs tomorrow - Daisy on Wednesday. Ms Harlow departed tonight = so happy to see her dad! Rosey, Coco, Daisy comes tomorrow. Ellie was here for her weekly playdate. She's so much fun.

Going to try to tackle a class. The clock is running out. LOL

Dogs are doing TV time.

On a Mission

The birds are out and so are the chipmunks. Got to investigate or so the dogs say.

Here is the gallery.

We had a full house this weekend. The dogs had fun as you will see in the gallery. Many classes to do and hope I can finish before they disappear.Most is decluttered. Nathan is still working on his office and we have some boxes in the hall. So, I hope soon. He is making progress.

Poor Dorothy came to pick up her dogs and no one answered the text, the phone and finally she knocked. That's unusual so sorry about that.

It's been a day. :-)

Short Blog

Juggling grooming, class and failing at class. I am sorely behind. So, as I still have 2 dogs to groom, class will be set aside and the blog will be short. I pray no more demattings.

Here is the gallery.

Nathan also sent me a few videos that I will upload as I am grooming. They are not there yet but when they are, you will be able to find them here.

Still raining off and on. It's cold and damp so we are doing a great deal inside.

Later...
