Bath Time

By the time I was a work in progress and got to the Adele pups, I was more confident in my photo taking in the midst of bathing. It was interesting but it couldn't have been done if I had unruly pups. These pups are all great.

Here is their bath gallery (the ones I managed to get).

The Jeannie pups were actually more laid back about it all but I wasn't and thus the reality of more photos for the Adele crew. Washing 4 at a time and trying to take photos is not for the faint at heart.

Be sure to check out the videos.

They will be excited to see you. Do not be surprised at who you think is laid back isn't and visa versa. They change a great deal but by now I have a fir, grasp on their personalities.

Till tomorrow....

You certainly picked out perfect personalities for us. All eight are gorgeous so every family will get a really cute pup for sure 'together' with the personality right for them.

Really great and fun pictures of the pups having their bath - you done good, Darlah!

Well I'm glad you can figure out personalities because we are still laughing .... every time we think we have one 'pegged' whoops.... that changes and we're at square one again. See you tomorrow :) :)

Patricia the Talemaker pups are all so special that any one will fit into a loving home. The wonderful thing about Talemakers is that not only do they have wonderful pups but the way they screen the forever families have enabled the pups to have the best loving homes. I know you will be happy as we all are. I am happy for all of you

Thanks Ronnie! We have the utmost confidence in their choice and in everything they do! Can't wait to find out who our new family member is!

The group bath pictures are really special.

Patricia, it is such a great journey to get a pup from Talemaker from the start. I still remember that feeling so clearly. The longing to have a pup, the obsessive habit to read the daily blog and watch all the videos, the waiting and anticipation of the arrival, the first happy visit of the pups when you have no idea which pup you will get. I still remember that i have so much love to give for one of these pups but I was refraining so hard not to fall in love with any of them. All we can do is to trust Darlah and Nathan, that they will match us in the best way possible. It's like they are puppy fairies! We are forever grateful to them for giving us Tenshi, our little sweet angel.
I am very excited for all the forever families, enjoy your puppy visit!

Sylvia, you put into words exactly what I feel. Thank you for expressing exactly my feelings so well. 💕

January 7, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAngela, Patches and Radar

That's so true Sylvia, it's such a wonderful journey and we'll be with Darlah and Nathan for the long term as we, like you will board our new addition at Talemaker. Can't wait!! I remember meeting Tenshi, she is such a doll!
