Oh it's ever so quiet around here. Joey was one of those that got the rest engaged. Not that they won't do it without him but he was such a fun puppy.
Here is the gallery of his new family.
This is such a great crew truly!
Here is the gallery of the remaining crew before Joey departed.
We are now down to 4. Tomorrow 3.

This is Chloe's new family. The kids werte amazing with the dogs.
The pups are now down to 5. The moms and pups are starting to notice now. Tomorrow we will be down to 4. Then Tuesday 3 till Friday.
Here is the gallery before Chloe went home.
I have to say I miss them already but I am also happy for them and their new families.

This is roll over on your back Joey. He was the best for the bath. Perhaps he thought I was tired and he was being kind. But he was amazing!
I think this lack of sleep is getting to me.
What did I do? I washed Wally. Now I got to wash Joey. We are all good. Joey is departing tomorrow. Wally is not going home till Friday. :-) Paperwork was correct - dog was correct. I just washed the wrong dog. LOL
Joey sure cleaned up well. He's a beauty!

Meet Wally - Here is my oops I washed the wrong dog. Wally is not going home till Friday. Oh my gad. I have a pup to wash.
Here is the gallery of his bath.
He will get another bath Thursday. LOL But maybe we will skip the photos.

Lexi is on to her new adventure. She will be truly missed! The pups played and played. The last one standing (not tuckered out) was roll on your back boy and Lexi.
It was a bit of a crazy process. We had 2 people come late - 1 pick up, 1 drop off so I was otherwise engaged at first. I try so hard not to have that happen but we managed to still get photos and video. The camera was almost dead. The ipad to take video was almost dead - both charging for the 3 pm departure.

Chloe had a bath and was wonderful for the entire experience.
She is the only puppy departing tomorrow. Dennis has been sleeping very little as we can do the departures. He kept falling asleep last night and the pups gained nicely. heh
Was there a difference in activity between 10 and 8? No. Will there be when it drops to 5 or 6? We shall see.
Chloe is a lovee and as weeks go on, she loves to snuggle more and more. Going to miss her snuggles!

Lexie had her bath but she wasn't the first. I washed the wrong puppy first. I am on a roll. That's okay. We got Lexi done and she was a trooper.
I put up a wet photo of Lexie so you could see those eyes.
She was truly great for the bath. Great for shaving her pads but had no patience for that 2 dryer combo hitting her in the face. We were hurrying as Nathan had things to do. LOL
Lexi is the first to depart tomorrow. Tomorrow night we will have only 6 pups.

Javier is now home with his dad. We look forward to hearing about his adventure.
What a beauty he is. He is such a low keyed happy boy.
Here is the gallery taken during the visit.
He plays, he eats, he sleeps. He knows how to have fun!
Be sure to check out the videos of the visit when he was going home. David's sister came to help him bring Javier home. You will see how wonderful she was with the pups. David was beaming with Javier. It was ever so nice!

As you will see in his bath and dry photos, he was quite calm and didn't mind this bath stuff.
As we take photos, I always play with them. Nathan caught me with him in a moment. It relaxes them as who likes to be held in the air for an extended period of time to take photos?
He is such a character and a nice looking boy. Enjoy your journey. Happy times for the new parents to be. Sad for us but happy too that they are going to be loved immensely!

Just wanted to update you on all 10. After dinner I will be adding a bath photo of each puppy 1 Cinnamon - 1 Ella on the respective blogs that is going home on Friday.
Ash and Grey (schnauzers) arrived today and the pups were fascinated. No one was afraid. They are used to pups from visiting here and truly love them. I am glad we got to give the pups this positive exposure before the pups depart.
Pups have been playing their hearts out. They are about to go back out again. Be sure to check out the videos.

Ali is trouble. She climbs up on the chairs and leaps off. The issue is Ella's no name tries to do the same.
The pups do not seem to mind that there is rain. They stand, they look at it and continue to play. As a matter of fact they were out in a downpour and didn't seem to mind. No photos of that as the rain would soak the camera. Oh well - you will just have to imagine it.
Tuesday, August 7, 2018 at 6:51PM 
Be sure to check out the videos.
The pups are really silly now and you can see it in the videos.
The pups started tearing their puppy pads today so we sprayed the pads with bitter apple. That stopped that and they still use it. Bitter Apple is good for anything they chew on that you don't want them to chew on.
Love these pups.... truly do!
Tuesday, August 7, 2018 at 2:46PM August 10 - Last born boy - Javie (pronounced Havie)
August 11 - Brown Sable gal - Lexi
August 12 - Brown Sable and white Gal - Chloe

I guess we get to keep Wally for an extra bit of time. :-) I will put up their official names as they are going home.
More later. Crazy busy!

Come Friday the 1st 2 depart. I am not ready and with Leti's pups coming. It's going to get interesting but we will do what we have to.
Check out the 2 videos Nathan took.
This is a short blog as Leti is making noise. It's all I can do.

This is the gallery of just the Cinnamon pups swimming.
I am going to continue to groom and if I have enough time I will start working on the bags that will be going home with the pups - then the rest.
How did these pups do - really great. They swam back to Nathan or to the stairs. You will have to look at the gallery to see who kept going to Nathan vs. getting out.
It was a perfect day out for this as it felt like 40c. Tomorrow they say rain. I hope so as I have a long day grooming so then I won't feel as if I am missing the pool again. LOL
If it is hot, I may indulge and take a pup or two in. Well, that's my excuse to take a break and in my opinion, a darn good one!
Be sure to check out the videos.
I am going to truly miss these 2 crew!
Saturday, August 4, 2018 at 9:43PM Pups had fun but it wasn't with me except for a very short window. I was grooming. Tomorrow and Monday are long days too. 12 plus hour days - yeouch.
Pups had fun with Dennis.
I still have to get bags ready and everything for the pups to go home. Yikes...
Friday, August 3, 2018 at 7:28PM 
It was so hot today that we wet the pups so they would cool off. As soon as the weekend is over and before they go home, we are going to get the pups in the pool.
Be sure to check out the videos.
The pups really like Marcie. They are back out playing their hearts out. Is it already 730pm?
Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 8:06PM 
The last week or so is a busy time. I try to invest as much time as I can with them but I also have baths, bags to get ready and everything else that allows me to have everything ready in time. It is an insanely busy time and somehow I think it's that way so I don't think so much. I miss them. It's time for them to start their journey. But it's a crazy process and deep down I wish they could all stay but that is not fair. I am happy for them. I do look forward to hearing from the families even if its just questions.
But we are heading into the last week when the pups start departing.
You are going to love these pups. All 10 are precious beings with fun personalities.
Wednesday, August 1, 2018 at 6:43PM 
Everyone should now know what puppy you are getting as of yesterday.
Be sure to check out the videos.
We took the pups out of the deck area to walk around and get used to the grass. We need to get some xpen out to get all 6 of Cinnamon's out at the same time. We had Ella's 4 out at once. Hoping to do that tomorrow. This is the start of them exploring and getting used to wet grass on their feet. Sometimes it will be dry as well.
Each puppy did well.
Remember do not buy food. We give you food to go home with.
They start departing on the 10th. That is 9 days away - oh my gad I have a ton to do, They each will have baths and photos before they go home. Now lets hope Leti cooperates. LOL
Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at 8:03PM 
Nathan is busy contacting people with photos of pups and it seems I titled one wrong. So stay tuned. He may send you a correction. I think he mumbled, I am going to kill you.
10 more days till pups depart. One Ella pup will be departing and one Cinnamon on August 10th.
Off to get pups outdoors before the rain!
