Nathan brushed her today. Really - he did. Oh Rebel, you are such a character.
Everyone was brushed and combed out early - not that you can tell. It is brisk outside. I guess the warmth is gone.
Dennis did the chase game. It was so fun to watch. Now it is tv time till another outside!
The dogs had such fun today!

All of a sudden the temperatures dropped. We always get teased with warmth and the cold always comes and then comes April and we get more warmer days. Dogs do not mind. Humans mind. LOL
Tonight, I finish grooming everyone then maybe watch Transplant as I do.I fell seriously behind watching it.
Have I ever told you that the reason I look forward to bed is I am tired but I get snuggles from the dogs always. Oh yeah - Nathan too. hahahaha

This is Bailey smiling. I kept trying to get a photo of her and she was a moving target. She was testing my camera skills. LOL
Gallery is Here. Not sure if I got them all.
I am late - apologies - playing catchup after yesterday and just finished grooming so I still have to build out the galleries.
Noah and Zoe have taken over the TV room. They decided the cushie spots were theirs much to Brewer sulking. So he waited and when they went out he decided he needed his spot vs going out. I swear they are kids in hairy bodies. I should get up and see who is where but Brewer has gone home and by the time he is back they will have departed. My spot no mine. No words - no grumpiness just creativity on how to get the spot you want.
Weather is still staying warm. So nice. Got to do the other blogs then the galleries.

As it is my birthday, no gallery and short blogs. I hope you understand. Everyone that made my birthday special - thank you. I will play catch up tomorrow.
Dogs are enjoying the day as they all got duck treats as their special treat just because they are who they are!

Hi Darlah and Nathan. Hope all is well!
Thanks for the b-day wishes for PJ. Hope all the other siblings had great days as well.
He certainly had lots of attention yesterday from us. He is such a nice boy. It was really nice to hear about the other litter mates and see some of the pictures. Here I am attaching one of PJ (on the right) and Lucy. That was taken yesterday when they were patiently waiting for a treat.
Take care !
Juan.
Hi Nathan & Darlah,
Olive was thrilled to have a shout out on your site today for her birthday! She feels very old but everyone she meets asks if she is a puppy!
We bumped into Nora and Shady a few weeks ago on our walk :)
Hope you are recovering well Nathan!
Meredith
Happy Birthday to Murphy above, Saffron, PJ, Leo, Maggie and Olive. Hope I got them all.
To this day these 2 know they are sisters and treat each other accordingly.
Monday, March 22, 2021 at 5:49PM It was mighty warm today. Dogs were playing and Stormy had a bath and did I see a photo of her? Nah Dennis takes photos different. I look to include. He clicks depending on who is where when he has a camera. That's okay.
The dogs had fun. It is supposed to stay warm like this till Wednesday. Keke was laying on top of Noah and he was letting her - and she was fast asleep. I grabbed the camera and she's up.

It is downright warm for the past few days. I hope it lasts. It usually doesn't, Even in April we get some cool ones but I am too busy to laze outside. I walked out on the deck to see the dog and Nathan then came back in to finish my to do list for the day.
Dennis or Nathan take photos. I have not had the time.
Some of the dogs enjoy the air and some decided it was better indoors. Our thermostat says 72f inside and we do not have heat or air on. We have 2 heatlamps for the pups. I so yearn to open the windows but I can't till the pups are 3 plus weeks old.
It's quite nice with the nice weather. The dogs have renewed interest in the birds. It makes you smile as it is as if it is their tv - zoning in on the movement.
Zoe, Noah and Keke have arrived today. Tchico and Winston departs. Keke is a Sage puppy and she is on the smaller end as that is what is in Sage's line. She is an incredible amount of puppy fun.
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. The sun is out and the air is clean. The dogs and us can't want for more though the pool would be nice. LOL
Saturday, March 20, 2021 at 5:16PM 
Nathan and the dogs got to laze in the sun. Me, I have been grooming and now updating the blog. Soon I have to comb out the rest of the dogs. I have an insane week until Wednesday.
Here is the gallery before I got to pick up a comb for the ones soaking up the sun. LOL I want to soak in the sun too. Dreaming of the pool...
Friday, March 19, 2021 at 8:52PM 
I can't believe I am so late in updating the blog.
Here is the gallery. I so feel there are times that I start at 7am and do not finish till 10pm when I crawl into bed. Lately it is. Oh well...
Just know that I am doing my best to get the blogs done. As you will see in my timestamps, I don't sleep too much at night either. I can't help but watch the pups and when you see a long video, you know I fell asleep to wake up to stop the recording.
Tenshi has departed. She was delightful to have here. Archie and Tchibo and of course Harlow and Reggie are here. Archie is a young pup and full of fun. His Momma loves him and has been cleaning him.
Tomorrow we get to see Ellie, Logan and Panda. It is another busy grooming day but have to pay the bills. :-) Plus nothing like a clean havanese, don't you know!
Next day off is the 24th - well semi day off as still have pups, blogs, laundry etc to do but no grooming. Till then!
Good news is Nami is out of heat. Hooray! That is one less thing to worry about as you must be careful with the boys while they are in heat and Nami is still a puppy - way too young to have pups!

This arrived in the mail today - edible havanese on a base of chocolate. I am not sure I can eat it - eat a havanese? LOL Thank you to Susan Brister for this edible art piece. Thank you for thinking of me. Once it is gone - it's gone? Not even sure how long it will last but for now I want to just admire it.
Gucci was here but left right after her bath. So, I didn't manage to get a photo of her. This is a no gallery day as it's 723pm and I have 3 blogs to do. I must have downtime - I must. It's one of THOSE days!
Daisy was here for the day and has a cute smile. She was taking a nap with Nathan when her mom came and it was fun getting her downstairs.
This was Tenshi before I took the brush out for her. She looks great messy!
This was Maui. He's a moving target and trying to take a photo of him by myself was - challenging but we did it!
The dogs had a great day. Me, not so much but that's why down time is necessary. I have a full grooming schedule tomorrow. Nathan is getting a free massage to see if it helps his aches. I am working. Hoping tomorrow is a warm day. I haven't even looked.
Wednesday, March 17, 2021 at 5:45PM 
It's a no gallery day today. Sorry been mighty busy. Tomorrow I believe is the same. Have not looked at my calendar. LOL
The dogs are enjoying the warmth. Sage and Spirit are having morning sickness. This will pass.
Nathan is taking his daily walks and naps - a dog here and there to help him get his exercise in. I have been playing with what to put in the bags for pups to go home. Am going to make mugs and fill them with treats. Just not sure if I am putting a photo of their recent before they go home or their birth.I sublimate them myself.
Everyone wants to be outside today. I can't blame them. The dogs and Nathan have sat out back quite a bit relishing the warmth. If it wasn't for the pups needing to stay warm, I would open the windows.
Happy St Patrick's Day to those that celebrate!
It most likely will be the photo of the pup facing you and maybe a funny saying or date of birth or? Just in the thinking stage. I also ordered some cute dog t-shirts that will fit them when they depart. As time is limited, I have to think ahead.
I have to find some cute photos of my own and have them as keepsakes especially of Raven and her pups as this is her last litter.
Tuesday, March 16, 2021 at 6:13PM 
Tenshi and Rebel rather likes each other. I have to laugh. Rebel seems to like all visitors. It's official. She is the greeter. LOL
Sorry I am so far behind. Apologies.
Nava was here today. What a beauty she is inside and out.
We had flurries so I guess spring is not here yet. LOL
I feel like I am getting things done but not. There is tomorrow and the dogs. The dogs make me happy. Okay Nathan and Dennis do too but the dogs melt when I cuddle with them - my own and visitors alike. Now that makes me feel good!

Yesterday a birthday present (bday is not till 24th) arrived from Sherri and I wanted to share as it will be ever so useful to me while I groom. I always have my ipad with me but on the washer behind me. So, I listen but can't see. People message me and its always hard to respond. This should be easier. Apologies for the messy room. I usually clean up after each dog but only had my own to do yesterday. This morning I will sterilize as I normally do and be ready for my 1st dog.
When it arrived, Dennis looked at me with rolling eyes and said really you want me to assemble that? So, as I was heading upstairs last night he said okay then let's do this. So, instead of my usual 10pm climb into bed it turned out to be after 1030 but it is done and so appreciative.
I bet in the summer this would be great outside attached to a table or chair. It may even work to take videos while I click photos. So many uses that are possible. Thank you!
Later about the dogs - who really wanted to sleep in with me. LOL
Monday, March 15, 2021 at 5:30PM 
Debbie came by with Coco with a slide and pee pads she no longer uses and I got to see them both. Oh my gad is Coco a DELIGHTFUL pup. They hAve done such a great job with her and he colouring is gorgeous! She wanted to come in - Coco but Nathan was at the store as our router went and had to go get ground meat for the dog's dinner. Yes, we add things to the food. I am going to try a bit of the broth from Dorothy's chicken soup to see how they like it. Right now Misty is such a picky eater and usually she would eat the barn door if offered. Motherhood...
I look at these photos and go why do they ALWAYS take photos before I comb out. I combed them yesterday. I combed them today and I swear - well they look natural. I am so laughing and getting in a better mood as Raven is progressing. Who cares about hair? Cinnamon is particularly interesting and adorable. Maybe cause I love her, I feel that way.
Missing a usual visitor today. They thought we needed to recover. Thank you! But as long as Raven progresses, I can do whatever in a day. Well, that's how I feel.
It's cool outside. Where did spring go? Nathan sat outside on the warm days. I only got fleeting moments to take it in. Well, there will be more and pups will be older!
Sunday, March 14, 2021 at 6:02PM 
It's simply been too busy. Lexi needed a bath and trim so I waited for a window that Dennis was awake too. She has departed and will be missed! Dennis is now sleeping so he can do night duty with 2 litters.
I am trying to keep things quiet just for today so Raven can get sleep.
So it's a no gallery Sunday. We appreciate all the Talemaker friends. You are all golden!
I will update Misty and Raven's blog, upload videos then focus on them. Nathan has a sea of dogs on his lap. Early tv time. He has had a long day too.
I got up an hour early but that means I go to bed an houe early tonight or it doesn't work that way? LOL
Saturday, March 13, 2021 at 8:45PM 
This is Keke ands Rebel. Keke departed today. Us, well we had a day.
Hope you don't mind. We have Lexi here who is doing well. We are figuring out who is doing the all nighter. Otherwise I am trashed - sorry.
Friday, March 12, 2021 at 4:52PM 
Raven is shivering off and on so my focus on her. Dogs are getting brushed here and there.
Nathan did his walk and says it is cold out. That's true? Probably a tad colder than yesterday. When I was out back with the dogs, I didn't think so.
Dogs are really enjoying each other inside and out and I mean everyone is having fun.
Off to eat quick and sit with Raven. She likes to sit on a very soft blanket on my lap. It is way cozy!
Thursday, March 11, 2021 at 4:20PM 
When it is up to Nathan, we hardly get any photos - so laughing but true.
Ripley comes once a week and he's a beauty - a Lola and Kat pup.
Today he heard the barking and went oh oh and then ran in and greeted everyone. I went huh? He's usually a bit reserved but these visits are good as he is enjoying the social.
Our backyard is melting so it is rather muddy. The dogs do not like this.
I need to get Harlow done as she departs tonight.Trying to work around Raven is something else.
Thursday, March 11, 2021 at 11:28AM 
Last night she panted all night keeping me wide awake. I am trashed and nothing yet.
Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at 5:45PM 
I call this day, unbrushed but loved. When you are dealing with a pending birth, the mom to be needs to be a focused along with the pups that made their debut. That's okay. We wil play catch-up and I am sure you can relate. Most days I brush daily. In reality you could go a few days but not me except times like this. LOL
Here is the gallery of the messy but much loved.
It was also a splendid day outside. It was so warm. I kept finding excuses to walk outside for a few minutes. The dogs was not happy with the melting so no running today except inside.
Have to weigh Misty pups, take Raven temps and well life.
PS: Keke who is a Sage pup is the most fun ever - delicious and cute as a button.
