Oh My Gad

I am so far behind. Dennis didn't take photos and well this is what it is. I will try to make up for it tomorrow!

Shlomo likes his teeth cleaning but he wants a treat after. No can do. Need to stay clean. LOL

Too Rainy: No Photos But

This arrived today. Now isn't that wonderful - so very much so. Thank you for the smile, the love you have for Tenshi. Yes, I so love that gal and her parents. Happy Mother's Day to you too, Sylvia.

Happy Mother's Day to all!

It rained and rained today. Dennis is instead running the halls with the adults but as you know, he hates photos of him so you will just have to visualize.

Got to Play

Despite the coolness and maybe due to the coolness, the dogs were playing like crazy. Ellie, Shlomo and Winston got exposure to the Misty and Raven pups.

Here is the gallery. In the gallery you will see a photo of Grannie Saffron and a Misty pup. Saffron needed a brush out. I hadn't got to it yet but thought the photo would be cute.

The dogs so enjoy the runs and the play!

Rain and Then Muck Then Rain

Rocky has departed. Soon the Raven and Misty pups will have departed. Much to do before that.

I look forward to crawling into bed and the dogs sure was excited I was last night - like over the moon. Sure makes you feel good.

What happened to April showers bring May flowers? It's still raining. Dennis said things are growing in the trug. I don't dare look. LOL

Dogs did do the chase game today with Dennis over and over. They came in and napped. I so love them having fun!

It's May

As we have had so much going on, this blog will be short. Dennis went to bed for 2 hours to do night duty. I am doing the blogs and weighing and laundry and nathan is taking the dogs out but not clicking. He so enjoys them laying all over him/

Here is a small gallery.

You will also find Rocky in the Misty and Raven galleries as he does play with the pups. Shlomo came too late to see how he will do. He will have plenty of chances.

I am so looking forward to snuggling with the dogs tonight. I am not used to night shift but I did stay up. Not sure how Dennis does it but its quiet. For the last 2 night the dogs looked at me to say not coming up again? They will be thrilled. It's not that they don't treasure their Dennis moments but we all have our rituals and they are a creature of habit.

I imagine Sage and Sprit will miss me at night but have me during the day. I hope to feel alive tomorrow. We have a zoom meeting that demands it.

Happy 1st

Hi Darlah and Nathan!!!

Hope you both are doing great!  We just wanted to share a picture of Logan’s 1st Birthday celebration!  I can’t believe he is already 1 year old.  He is not only a cutie but also has a great personality.  We love him so much!

Happy Birthday to all of his siblings as well!
Have a great weekend!!!

Update Later

Hopefully Dennis will take photos or I will when I get up. It's rainy out so dogs will not want to go out. Come 7am, I am crawling into bed and trying to stay in it till 130. We shall see. I will update this blog then.

We got the estimate for the pool heater due to our size pool with installation 5 grand. That's ridiculous but thank you covid heaters are in short supply. I am so depressed as the pool is a mental and physical outlet. Oh well.

Rain is good. Plants are growing. I am not worried about a pool though it can't even circulate unless we replumb it.

I am waiting for 630am so the coffee starts as I will need it for the last half hour. LOL That may be psychological. I can't stop yawning but I did laundry, cleaned, took care of moms, placed out all the water. I am tired and its nice to be quiet and get things done but I will miss sleeping with the dogs and Nathan and when it is dark. LOL I do not dare sit in the recliner or I would be snoring.

Till later. It was a productive night.

Sorry Short Blog

Ripley had a great time. Maui was wonderful. Rocky is settling into fun, fun fun.

No photos today but hey I updated you. That's something!

Break Time Review of Old

3 siblings

Remember white?

Miss Adele

Messy Stormy

That's it for the day. Got other blogs to do and have some downtime - much needed today. was mucky so I also have to do many feet and our kitchen floor. LOL

To Play With Pups

Nava enjoyed her time with the pups. It was fun and she had fun.

I had a very busy day grooming today so we only have a few photos.

We had the heater guy here and sigh we need a new pool heater. I could scream. Oh well...

I combed out dogs and they made themselves a complete mess as if to say - so there - comb me out and let me rub all over so I can look natural. LOL

Weather was not so bad. Dogs think so too. LOL

A Few Faces

Here's a small gallery.

Just too much going on so not many photos taken. It also looks like rain is coming. We need to set up Sprit's xpen. I need to work on a plan on how to make your zoom puppy experience better.

Dogs really enjoyed the cool. Me, I had 2 jackets on. What a woose I am.

Dennis is back running around outside to get them running with him. It's a sight for sore eyes. Wish he let me film it. The dogs love it and I love watching.

Happy 1st

Wishing all of the Leti babies a happy 1st birthday! Thank you Talemaker! Ellie is such a joy. 

Hi Darlah & Nathan,

Ollie had a wonderful day celebrating his first birthday! He got a nice long walk, new toys and a delicious cupcake that he devoured! Ollie is an absolute delight: does anything for treats, loves walks, playing keep away, snuggling, and patrolling the yard for trespassing bunnies. Wishing Ellie, Logan, Teddy, Louis, & Kitty a happy birthday too - hope we can have a reunion together soon.

All the best, Ollie & family

------

Yes we must do a reunion. Here's to the end of covid. I looked at this photo and went - there's a mischevious soul in there. You can tell by his expression and I just laughed at that expression! What a wonderful bunch of dogs - all of them!

Hi Darlah and Nathan

Our wonderful boy Teddy is 1.  He is such a special boy and he and his brother Charlie have an amazing bond. Thank you for these 2 sweet, sweet boys!  Happy birthday to all Teddy’s siblings Logan, Kitty, Ellie, Louis and Ollie.

Kitty would like to wish her litter mates a very Happy Birthday. We'd like to say a special thank you to Leti and Stone,  Darlah and Nathan and all the Talemaker gang for bringing this wonderful little girl into our lives. She is an absolute sweetheart.  Smart, quiet and very funny.....personality plus!  We couldn't be happier.

Best wishes always,

Kitty, Jim and Derek

Happy 5th

Happy 5Th Birthday to the little Princess INES, who rules our hearts .

Celebrating my 5th birthday today. Cake, presents and then a nap! My favourite things!

Hi, Darlah and Nathan!  I hope you are doing well.  

Wonderful to see that Sage had her puppies so quickly, during the day and with no issues.  I hope all goes as well with Spirit in the next few days.  You certainly have your house full with Raven and Misty’s puppies as well. 

Just wanted to drop a quick message given it’s Farley’s 5th birthday!  How did that happen so quickly?  

Clarity wants to wish Farley and all his siblings a Very Happy 5th Birthday!

Oh the Fun of It

Daisy was here and boy can she run.

Here is a 2 day gallery.

I am doing 5 blogs, many galleries, video uploads - oh my.

Our pool got open and they say we need a heater. Where's my money tree so there it sits and nathan is going to call a heater guy in hopes he can repair. We shall se. Always something. I so need the pool for an escape and so do the dogs.

I am juggling and hoping it calms down by Spirit's pups.

I questioned my sanity about grooming today but here I am done. Tomorrow is a zoom meeting with puppy owners to be. Okay, let's wing this. I did 8 loads of laundry and screamed if you bring me anymore, you are doing it YOURSELF! I hate laundry. LOL

Dorothy made the most outstanding cookies. I managed to steal two. Dennis had them disappear down his throat. Well, they were for him and oh my gad they were to die for. Thank you!

I have this upper neck back ache that won't quit. I think its stress.

Dogs had a blast today. I kept looking at the pups - all of them half the night. The idiot I am - well I am tired.

Nathan is now sitting in his gravity chair swearing that it is what helps his back. The dogs jump up on top of him off and on. It's hysterical but not sure he would describe it that way!

Happy 1st

Hello Nathan and Darlah!

We hope you and all the pups are well and enjoying the beautiful  day!

We want to wish all of Skye’s litter mates a happy 1st birthday! 

Skye continues to bring us so much joy every day.  He absolutely loves having the kids home every day while schools are closed. Who doesn’t love extra play time!

Here is a little note from our kids:

Hi Talemaker family. Today we are making a cupcake for Skye that has apples and peanut butter in it. Thank you for letting us have Skye. He is a wonderful, loving dog. Skye is a good boy who mostly listens, especially when there is a treat involved. He loves to talk, and will inform us when there is someone at the door. We love Skye so much! I hope you and the dogs have a great week!

Siblings are....Rosey, Nami and Maui

Update on Thursday, April 22, 2021 at 10:33PM by Darlah

Looks like these pups now share a birthday with Sage's crew. How about that!

Snow Really?

I will attempt to get a gallery together but wanted to share these 2 photos I received today. It's Luna gal! May or may not. Now that the snow is melting, the dogs are soaking the kitchen floor and they are none too pleased about their hair getting saturated. First experience was glorious. Meltdown - not so much though I did catch Spirit rolling in the snow after a bath.

The sun is out and maybe by evening we will not know that it snowed. We shall see.

Cold Brrrr

This was Rosey waiting to pounce on Rebel and the gang. She should sleep tonight she played so hard!

It's cold but the dogs are not feeling it. Nathan had a toque on and his winter jacket. Pups lasted 10 minutes then inside it was. They don't have enough body weight yet.

Here is the gallery.

I have been grooming all day. Waiting for the Chauvin verdict.

They say maybe snow tonight. Are you ready? I gather the dogs are. LOL

Come and Go

Today Daisy departed. She is already missed! She is so cute.

I can't put up a gallery as it is having issues with uploads. How frustrating but when it is up, it will show up here.

Ellie was also here having a great time from the moment she walked in the door. What a fun ball of hair! I think she lives for the play. I get her inside and she jumps out of her bag not looking back.

Rosey is coming tomorrow. I am playing one day at a time when it comesto grooming due to Sage.

We shall see how it goes.

Short Again

We need to set up pens tonight for Sage and Spirit so blogs will be short. This is Archie nose to nose with a Misty puppy. You will see more on the Raven and Misty gallery.

Here is the gallery for the adults mostly.

dennis had teh adult dogs in and out - those that wanted to interact. Otherwise the dogs were following a cat on the fence and playing their hearts out. It was a good day for play!

Short of Time But

I brushed out Brewer this morning and he played hard today. Didn't get many photos as I am doing extra work today but caught a couple of Brewer after play in his most fave chair. He always insists that this chair is his. LOL He always gets it too without might or right but just edges up and spreads himself out. Have to laugh.

Here is the gallery.

Dogs had fun inside and out. I am soon taking the pups up for a 3rd time.

Tonight will be a busy one as its me with pups upstairs, sterilizing pen, washing water dishes, changing pads, sweeping etc. usually it is Dennis and I. Nathan will take the dogs outside.

Till tomorrow. Dennis says thank you! He is enjoying his day off. Tomorrow we get busy.
