Last Week Fun

Meet Rusty! His official name is Talemaker's Prince Charming and oh he is that. He can charm the whatever off of anyone. Watch out. :-)

More names posted later but this one is the last to go home on December 1st. The first is the creamy beige and he is departing on Wednesday. His official name is Talemakers MC2 and his call name is Teddy.

So it begins. Be sure to look at photos on the All About Our Dogs Blog as the pups will be in those too.

They LOVED the wind and the warm weather. Me, I am juggling. Got blogs, paperwork, bags to get ready. I have a feeling Jesse is going to miss the pups. Hoping he takes to the Panda crew.

Poor Jesse's mom is dealing with electricians showing up when they want to.

Short Updates Today

Last but not leasty Grace who had a very short visit and the pups. Grace is now home. She had a blast with the little ones. I love that these pups have had so many positive exposures.

Pups have been only inside to play, we have a mudbath outside thus my short blogs and being extra tired.

Different Visit: Video Added

We never had pups 3 weeks apart so this time we thought it would be fun after the Panda pup visit to show them what 3 weeks older is like. So, I hope you don't mind as we took them out for a play session. They got socialized and the panda people got to see what a bit of age does in the scheme of things.

Panda pups had just got up midstream from a nap and Roxie pups were waiting to play.

Here's a gallery from the visit.

The pups start departing on Wednesday. Stay tuned. Going to be a busy week as we have pups departing, 2 dogs in the show next weekend and baths. But we only have Teddy and Daisy visiting. So quiet times other than pups going and baths and Paula coming in. :-)

Here is a short video of them meeting the Panda pups families.

Just Enjoying

I think Jesse is having the time of his life with the pups.

Snow Fun

Let me out of here, will ya?

The pups have less than a week before they start departing. How did that time just fly by? One gal will be hanging around to see if she turns out. We will know around 6 months if she remains or goes to her forever home. Roxie will be delighted that one is staying as she gets into a total funk - well she did with her 1st litter. I assume the 2nd will be the same. She loves the pups so.

The pups had a blast in the snow and Gidget really loves them so. Gidget departs tomorrow and we will miss her immensely. Got to get her bathed and ready to depart.

Pups adore the snow.

It's a big day tomorrow. Maybe we will get an outside play session in before baths. We shall see.

We got some new Berry shampoo that the human will try here. We got it as a sample when I got my shampoo order in.

Exciting times are coming!

Such Winter Fun

As the older crew we got to go out with Dennis and we had fun! We jumped all over Pepper and just made a pest of ourselves but they don't mind.

Till tomorrow. The human is not feeling so hot. :-(

More Run, Run, Run

The Roxie pups really are quite the agile crew. They run their heads and body off having a blast. No snow today as it was too chilly but we still had a ton of fun many times today.

Realize these humans do this all day as the 2 litters can't do this together so that is at least 6 play sessions out of the xpen and often more and then all the play sessions with the adults. Then there is laundry, grooming, cleaning (can't tell in this photo - hahahaha) and blogging which is getting sparse these days - sorry. So here it is 8pm and I am playing catchup but just know we are having fun. 

Here's a video of our run session.

Very Short Update

Pups had 3 outdoor play sessions and one upsatirs crazy run after Dennis play session. See the upstairs video. It's short but cute.

We place an xpen up against our railing to avoid any openings. This makes it safe for the pups running like banshees.

Play Monkeys

Buddy just LOVES, LOVES the pups. They love him. Buddy and Spice are so much alike, it's unreal.

Tag you are it!

Puppy play...

More play...

Even more play

Plus up in the air play.

They did really well with the collie, Jesse. What a great experience for them. Each exposure that is positive is great consitioning.

Here's the gallery of the 8 week visit.

They are truly a wonderful bunch who embrace the play. I just love it! In less than 2 weeks they start going home - wow!
