Rusty's New Family

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewRusty is now in his new home. I think he has already taken his place as the prince he knows he is. Already got a call that he is doing well.

Now we are down to 1 and she's rather quiet and sleeping. Tomorrow we will start updating you with photos of the rest plus Ella. We will also let you know how Ella and the Panda crew is adjusting.

We go down to 1 xpen tonight.

Rusty's Bath

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewHe was interested in the bubbles, in the water. Wasn't crazy about the blow dryer but did rather well. I think by now they know bath equals they disappear so they really have no clue what is going on. Its not a bad thing to have a stressor. It jumpstarts their coping skills and that is needed. He is just quiet today and that tells me he's wondering what is going on.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewHe cleans up really well and he's starting to play with the Panda pups now as I have them all out in the office running and playing. We are going to miss him. He is so full of spirit and can be seen smiling much of the time.

Hugo's New Family

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewHugo went home exhausted as he was playing with the Jeannie pups and so was Rusty and Ella. Check out the gallery on the Jeannie page. I bet you he's going to be exhausted today but they did manage to take the sherpa bag completely apart. Oh Oh

The remaining two are very quiet now. I am not going to wash Rusty tonight. I will do him first thing in the morning. Its been too long of a day for teh crew. They had so much fun.

We are going to miss Hugo. He is such a character. Tomorrow Rusty.

Love the Hugo and let us know how he is doing by sending us mail. We worry about them.

Tiny's New Family

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewI do believe Tiny is in for a lot of fun. Just be sure to allow him his naps. Think Tiny is going to love having the kids to play with.

Be sure to look at Oscar's bath photos below.

We are now down to 3. Half of the crew has departed. We have to adjust our food quanities each departure.

Hugos Bath

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewOkay, what is the male name for a diva? The definition of a 'diva' is a true diva will do anything to get what she wants. Well, he wears that well. Watch out. So, looking it up it seems divo is the correct term for a male diva. It says a divo is a much-admired celebrity. I think that would suit him as well.

When he came out to the kids he went 'I am here!!!!!' It may have been he just had a bath so he was full of beans.

He likes the bath but blow dry me - get that thing out of my hair. It is blowing my hair into my eyes, don't you know?

I shut the dryer off, he was fine. I turn it on, he went through a series of things to try to convince me that off was better. I laughed. He didn't get his way obviously but I swear he even batted his eyes to try to convince me. I think that was my imagination but he was trying. This one has so much personality. He makes me laugh so. Will hate to see him depart, I need laughter in my life!

Tiny's Bath

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewWell looks like Tiny is amazing in the bath. Good boy. He didn't mind the nail clipping, the pad cleanup - none of it.

I can't believe he departs tomorrow. Then we will be down to 3. Then Sunday 2, Monday 1.

Now they are playing like banshees up and down the hallways upstairs having a blast and he smells and feels ever so good.

Holly's New Family

Click on Photo for Larger ViewDon't they look great with the Holly? I think so! Great family for a great pup, I think! Sorry I am so late on this. I just now finished washing Adele and Buddy.

Sounds like Holly is settling in:

Hi Nathan & Darlah,

Holly did really well on the car ride home. She whimpered a couple of times but quieted down really quickly.  Plus, we didn't have far to go anyways! 

She had a couple of bites to eat but was otherwise not too hungry. She is sleeping now (I think we tired her out even before we left your house!).

She's a real sweetheart and I can see what you mean when you said she loves being with people - she's already right at our heels wherever we go!

Here's a couple of photos of Holly, taken shortly after we arrived home.

We can't thank you enough for all the love and care you put into all your dogs - it means so much!

More photos to come in the coming days - we promise!

From me again:

With two gone, the crew is getting mighty quiet.

Holly lives close so we hope to see them. We will have to set up a playdate as we have with the Jeannie pups.

Next one to go is one of the tri boys called Talemaker Tiny Szeto - call name Tiny but that isn't till Saturday. Tomorrow we get to concentrate on the show, the pups and well running errands. hahahaha

Holly's 10 Week Bath

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewOh boy, does she clean up nicely. She was a dream for the bath too. Bravo, Holly. Found a fun solution to the dryers in both directions. I place a chicken strip on my grooming table and they can sniff and chew while I dry and brush and comb.

This one is not going home till tonight so look for the family photos later tonight. We are going to miss her spirit. The siblings are getting quiet. Come Monday night it changes for all in this crew. They will be on a forever journey filled with fun.

Still haven't settled on a name for this ones sister.

Teddy's New Family: Update

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewWe heard he whimpered a bit going home. Confused, I imagine and now he is settling in, Sounds like he is doing just fine. Hope he has fun with the company tonight. What a charmer. Look at his poses above!

Settling In

As she is departing so late, I will be washing Holly first thing in the morning. He official name is Talemaker Hollywood Starlet. This is the brown sable gal.

Will try to get photos up later tonight as the crew played in the kitchen, flattened the sherpa bag. Its the last time living here as 6. We will miss them.

Nobody goes home on Friday and then it begins again on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. On Monday night Miss No Name will come to bed with us and Panda's crew will head upstairs for their first time. We will also on Monday go down to one xpen.

Doesn't he look so stressed out? Chillin' Teddy!

Teddy's Last Bath Before Home

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewOh my gad is he a handsome boy wet or dry don't you think?

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewHe was great in the bath and I mean GREAT. I can't believe tomorrow it starts. Its going to be a lot of changes. This group is so filled with spirit. I just love how they embrace life.

The rest of the pups along with Teddy had a blast inside, outside despite my being very tired. I almost said I will bathe him in the morning and said no - just do it. A part of me delayed as I was tired and a part as it begins. I am happy for them do not get me wrong but I do miss them. They are so much a part of my life for 10 weeks. We celebrate their journeys. Can't wait to hear about them.
