Benny: Last Bath: 3 Updates Today

Here are the bath photos.

How did he do in the bath? Wonderful. He wasn't happy with the collar I put on him to blow dry him. Maybe it was the blow dryer but he survived. It also may have been the pups were upstairs as he went running as soon as he was placed down to find the guys. He's been playing ever since.

Benji's New Family

Benji had departed. Here is his family gallery.

It's not yet quiet around here but two more depart tomorrow then after Christmas.

It is going to be hard to beat this crew of 14.

Here is the gallery before departure.

Our son will be taking the crew outdoors as it is warmer but I will be grooming dogs that are departing and 2 puppies. One is Leti's and one is Cinnamons. So, look for 1 more entry in this blog today for a total of 3 after Nathan takes his nap and I am done adult baths.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Thank you so much for the gift - truly!

Two Last Baths Before Depature

In order of departure - meet Coco Chanel.

She had a bath - no issue. She had a blow dry - not terribly in love but not bad.

Here are her bath photos.

He was fabulous for the bath, drying, pads cleaned up. Bring it on. :-)

Here are his bath photos.

Tomorrow family photos may be later in the evening as I have so much on my plate tomorrow, I need a miracle. LOL

Here is the gallery.

The next two pups that are departing are Leti pups and I do not have the pertinent info on one. Can't do it the day of so am hoping it arrives soon.

Pups had a blast outside. It was too cold outdoors.

Soon they will be heading upstairs to have another round of play.

After Snow Play

After the snow play they went upstairs to play. they have been sleeping quite awhile. It must be all that fresh air. I am glad Nathan had that time with them outside as the crew of 14. I was afraid he wasn't going to get it.

Here is the gallery.

When they play long and hard they sleep very well. If they don't expel much energy, they don't. It is the same for us.

I was putting clothes away in my closet and they came in and started exploring everything. It was a riot. They are curious and they are fun.

Morning Visit

The only dogs that are off the table are the 2 we are keeping. Keep that in mind when you are giving us your desires. It helps to know why you feel you connect with each.

Here is the gallery.

Please get in your choices as we can't do anything till we receive all choices.

Pups had fun and they are still sleeping awaiting the afternoon visit. Even Nathan is naping. LOL
