Quiet Times at Talemaker Havanese

If anyone wants to see the video of Missy, Holly and Penny with the pups, you can find them on the Wasabi or Abigail's video page or on the visitor/boarding video page.  Missy, Holly and Penny was hanging out with the little guys.

NOTE: Click on the photo here to see a larger version. We will be going back to using thumbnails and clickable photos if you want to see a larger view.

If you are interested in photos, Missy, Holly and Penny was snapped before and after baths as that was the day all 3 were going home. sniff I don't have formal before and after shots but rather just clicks of that day. Check them out on the visitors and boarding photo page.

Well, it is truly quiet here. It reminds me when our kids come home, the whole house gets more active. I believe due to having 7 kids, we are used to that non-stop activity so when we have a lull, it's as if to say - now what. Sure we have a house filled with our own but it takes me so little time to groom and that should equal lots of free time but does it? No! It just means all those tasks that were not dog related gets fit in till we get another visitor and then we have an excuse - we've gone to the dawgs! Plus I get extra snuggling time and extra playtimes and everything including fitting in a PVR that is filled up. But do we miss the activity? YEP!

Next guest comes on April 28th. We can't wait!

PS: I think tomorrow I wil work on some more articles to spruce up the library here.

Before & After Havanese Snow Fun

Charlie & JasperCharlie and Jasper joined us today for some terrific snow fun. Charlie is a bouncy, can't get enough play kind of guy and so is Jasper.

Kat started out as a grump today but he ran and played and did a proper greeting. I say, there is no room for grumpiness here.  What a great fit this crew will be. When Weaver joins us it will be total boy madness fun.

Yikes, I thought Tia was going home tonight but looks like she's going home Sunday. Nathan looked at his notes and went oh yeah, it's Sunday. I guess she will be getting 2 baths. hehehe That's okay. She's crazy fun and worth the extra work.

Coco and Zack are coming for an overnighter tomorrow. Fun, fun, fun!

We added 2 new videos and a slide-show. As always you can find them on their respective pages on the top of the list. Although I am still not well, I got my ahem in gear and took a ton of photos and videos as I know that when away, it's nice to see the holiday your furry kids are having and what better way than photos and videos. We hope you enjoy.

Charlie spreads his love around to everyone. Jasper too. This is going to be a great deal of fun having so many boys in the house as the gals usually rule around here. That's okay, they will still think they rule. heh

The snow was blustery. The dogs played hard and ate well and now they are snoozing to start again.

I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Woof! It Snowed

It's been almost a snow-less winter here at Talemaker Havanese. We are really looking forward to puppies come March but we are sad not having mobile pups in lots of snow. It's a fun experience as you can see in some of our videos.

When I took the crew out this morning, there is a bounce of excitement seeing new fallen snow. Me too but we aren't getting enough of it.

This weekend we have some visitors and are we excited. We are hoping we have more snow so we can get the video camera out. There's going to be a whole lot of snuggling going on, I tell you!

Nathan took the crew up to the forest 2 by two first thing this morning ahead of the sand trucks. The dogs stayed sand-less and that makes me happy. Nathan should have taken the video camera as he said a few of them were so delighted over the top to be chasing squirrels after a fresh snow. It makes me wish I had gone too.
