Got to get that run in. Check out the gallery.
Dogs are having a blast. Tiny was here for a bath and visit. Luna's having the time of her life and so is Brewer. It's quiet times here but they are managing to run like the wind and luna's right in the thick of it.

The weather is good enough that the dogs are running around like CRAZY. Only Brewer and Luna are here with ours so its a very quiet house but a fun one! Check out the gallery.
Risa had a bath today. Rusty was here too just for the day. You will see he had a blast too.
Here's to great weather coming - we hope!

Bailey and Bella was here for a visit to get some social fun in.
It's a mighty wet day. Here's today's gallery.
I am thinking by tomorrow we may have nicer weather. Still, the dogs played. Some got bathed and some had to be freshened up again. heh

Shady and Nora say happy Easter!
-------------
We at Talemaker hope you had a fabulous Easter or Sunday - whatever you celebrate. The weather is warming up so that means fun times are had by all outside. Ice is melting as you will see in this gallery. Enjoy as warmer times are coming.

As it is above zero. The water is plentiful outside but so is the ice. It's worse than a skating ring so clicking inside and holding on to the rails is all we can do. Hoping tomorrow is a new day. We have played a LOT indoors. Dogs are getting soaked outdoors.
Murphy was one of the most adventurous one running straight through the puddles. Now she is at home and hopefully not getting dirty and soaked so fast.
Here are a few photos:
Tomorrow we want dry and fun outdoors and indoors.

It is way too slick out there so we have to be careful on what we can do. No running. You will be able to catch the gallery on the Leti blog. This is fall down covering. Tomorrow they say will be warmer. Barney will depart in the morning so his bath will happen tonight. I have grooming to do. Elvis will depart Sunday and then Leti's blog will go dormant unless I get an update. Lots of changes.
Mr. Ozzie just LOVES those puppies. It's so nice to see how it evolved.

Won't be updating tomorrow except for a short blurb. It's my birthday and well blogging is time intensive so we will update you but the blogs will be sparse. Tomorrow's blog will have photos we clicked today and tomorrow. We will see what I can do without being crazy busy.

And to you Darlah, hope you have a very special birthday celebration tomorrow and they let you buy everything you want the the expo on Friday. Thanks so much to you and Nathan for putting so much care and love in your/our puppies, we get to enjoy the product of that hard work in a very special way.
Attached some pictures of PJ, waiting for the GO to eat that yummy cookie!
Take care!
Adriana
Hello Darlah and Nathan
Just sending a little note to wish Leo's siblings a very happy first birthday! Happy birthday Saffron, PJ, Murphy, Maggie, and Olive. Hope you are enjoying your day which happens to be National Puppy Day!
We absolutely love Leo! He is wonderful and "crazy" all at the same time. Never a dull moment around here! Everyday he wakes up and brings a toy to our bedroom ready to play. His energy is boundless and he is always making us laugh!
Also, best wishes for a happy birthday Darlah! Hope you celebrate it with a nice sushi dinner!
Sincerely,
Mary and Leo
Thank you for the amazing gift you have given me in Murphy. She is my best friend, constant companion (even when I just get up to ---) and has enriched my life beyond belief. Thank you for your support this year. Murphy has two families. Lucky girl!
P.S. Her birthday treat is extra Crumps. She can't get enough!!
Today is her special day!
Sending love to her "first family"

We just have Ozzie and Brewer visiting so now that it is quiet we had Ozzie playing with the pups and he played with them well.
Tomorrow Nathan has a 5 hour stress test and Thursday we are going to the Pacific Mall for my birthday. He gets to fix his ipad screen and we melt all the stress away in a massage chair. Well, that's the plan. It will be a no grooming day for me. I am even washing Brewer tomorrow as he departs on Thursday and Nathan can touch him up then. So blogs will be short. Maybe we will even manage to get to our fave Japanese restaurant Akasaka.
But we are all having a great time and tomorrow I am washing and doing whatever I can to take Thursday and Friday off. Friday is Pet Expo and well that's only the morning so I can brush when I get back.
Hope all of you that celebrate Easter have a wonderful long weekend.
For more photos of Ozzie and the pups, you will have to see the Leti blog.

This is what he did after getting groomed. It's so hysterical how they try to undo anything you do.
Well, we have a short day. I had a very busy day and it continues. We have class tonight so it's another short blog. Getting tired of short blogs? Me too but best I can do for a few days. Here's a gallery. Some are blurry but it gives you an idea of how they play.

Had a very long day today. Lots of grooming. Paula dropped in with her kids and had dinner with us. It was really nice to see her but blogs - just can't do and tomorrow will be the same as I have grooming from 7am till evening. So bear with me. Here's today's gallery.

Dogs are LOVING having cool weather but dry. No mud (human says hooray) and well just invigorating enough to make them move. Check the gallery.
It's a very busy day but a fun one. Inula is so crazy about Ozzie. It is funny how relationships evolve and change and come together.
This blog is short as we had an 8 week puppy visit then Dexter departing. I also had a number of dogs to do.

Marlee and Jazmyn is now home but I have to laugh as Marlee appeared to be taking in all the words on the fridge.
It was wet oudoors most of the day. It means muddy. It wasn't all that warm and well they still managed to have great fun.
I am exhausted so short blogs...

First of all, Happy St. Patty's Day. Someone sent me a photo but I can't find it. argh but when I do I will upload it - if I can find it.
Dogs are having a blast but Dennis and our teenage grand daughters are holding down the fort. So no more update other than this gallery.
Everyone is playing SO well together. It's nice even to see those reserved opening up.

It's fruitless to do anything but hose off, comb and let them air dry in warm blankets. Murphy is minor to what they just came in with. Off to hose and brush and comb. hahaha
Here is the gallery before they got too bad. It's now wetter and muddier.
Looks like we are going to Pet Expo on Friday, March 25. It's the only day we can. Anyone else coming?
Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 6:44PM 
It rained. We got drenched and muddy and then we said so what. Okay we were brushed here and there but really sometimes you have to embrace the muck and just laugh about it.
Sadie arrived and brought it up a notch by getting everyone doing the run like hey game and then she would stop midstream as if to say what are you fools doing. I thought it was a one off thing but it wasn't. She did it again and again. I just laughed as they followed.

Nathan and Darlah
Dallas would like to wish her littermates Satch, Fitz, and Charlotte a very Happy First Birthday.
I can't believe that Dallas is one today. She is a wonderful dog. Smart, loving, affectionate and oh so friendly! Just ask any of our visitors as she makes everyone feel special!
We can't thank you enough for giving us this wonderful girl. You guys are simply the best.
Michelle
Satch just finished his birthday bath and is waiting for his human Momma. He says I rather like this birthday stuff. Birthday treats? Yum!

Olive says it's raining outside and really do you want me to do rain? I don't think so. I just laugh as most are feeling that way today. So we are doing a ton of indoor play. It's a no gallery day.
We have fun to attend to and class tonight. Hope you don't mind.
Everyone is really having fun....

I think the most fave room in the house, other than the bedroom where they crawl into bed with us is the tv room. Jazmyn likes to sit on high and look at all the dogs that want her spot. heh
Chase always gravitates to this couch. I am not sure why she likes it so but she stretches out and says mine. I love it. We have 2 couches, a recliner and ottomans in the room plus Leti likes to get up on the desk and sleep there. We always have blankets for them to lay on. We even have a great Dane size crate with a door that slides in and stays open all the time with blankets on top. They use it to go back and forth between the couches. It's certainly a tv room but its designed with dog comfort.
We had a busy day today so that's it!
