Second to Go Home Plus New Players

Here is the gallery of 3 crew plus Frankie and Lilly and Jamie play.

This boy's name is Mojito. He is the 2nd to go home on the 8th. He is such a fun puppy. He really likes to play and he is always fascinated with Nathan's ripped jeans. They are targets - don't you know.

This is Jamie playing with a Willow and Ella pup. He is so gentle with them. Lilly a visitor also played with the pups. It is a volunteer thing. If they appear to want to play we allow. Not all want 13 gremlins chasing them.

Videos are coming soon.

Eat and Sleep

TTime for snoozing. We play like crazy. We sleep and we eat and do it all again. It's a tough life but someone has to have the fun. :-)

Videos are up and the galleries are on the Tempie blog.

It's been a long day for these little ones and they will soon be going out for their last play before bed. Then we will crawl into bed as well. :-)

Hmmm

Here is the gallery of just the 3 crew.

Willow boy - are you being polite or are you waiting till someone comes out of that tunnel to pounce? Hmmm which will it be?

Pups are upstairs now and I can hear them running the halls and dennis is throwing a toy to see if they will get it. Let's say - they are having immense fun!

The videos are coming.

Fun Play Outdoors

Here is the gallery from the play.

Tonight we have our son Tal and his girlfriend Eden coming over to play with the dogs upstairs. I will be unable to as I simply have too much to do. They will have fun. Nathan lately doesn't do many videos or camera clicking so I am hoping as I am busy he will do so tonight. We shall see.

The pups will enjoy!

Videos are up and I have dogs to groom.

Meeting the Challenge

Here is the gallery.

Willows are the youngest ones but you can't tell - can you? When they are around older pups they usually meet the challenge and learn from the older crew. It's amazing how much they progress with older pups around.

To me, it's as if they are all the same age. Of course Tempie's are starting to depart on Friday. Will they notice? I bet they will. We shall see.

Videos coming ah I got to do that. :-)

Willow Pups Vet Visit

Here is the gallery before the vet visit.

How did they do?

Videos coming soon.

Here are their weights

Boy Multi-coloured choco boy 3lb 4oz

White Chin apricot boy 3lb 10 oz

Apricot gal 3lb 8oz

Dark Brown Choco Boy thin white stripe on head 3lb 10oz

Black and White Tri boy 2lb 14oz

They all did well and enjoyed playing in the kitchen. They were great. It took time to do all these pups as she checks, ears, legs, heart, lungs, hair, eyes etc Then each gets a folder that you take to your vets. She also told us who she would keep if she was picking. No, I am not going to tell you. 

Here is the gallery of the vet visit of just the Willow pups.  Each blog will have their own vet visit gallery.

Still Playing Outdoors

Here is the gallery.

Oh my has it turned into a deep fall day. So far the pups do not seem to mind it but Dennis was joking about putting his winter coat on. 

I will let him play with them outdoors as I am allergic to cold. hahahaha Glad the pups are not. They need to get conditioned to that white stuff.

Is this boy stunning?

Videos are coming soon.

Look at Me

Here is the gallery.

This boy of Willow's is striking. If you look in any of the photos with him in it you can notice him right away. When you show you want that focus from tthe judge - to be noticed. His daddy did well in the ring. 

The pups had a blast upstairs. They are silly fun now. It's delightful. Can you remember when they just ate, crawled and slept? I so do!

Videos are up.

Crazy Times

The visits are over for the day. You can find galleries morning, afternoon and Tempies in the other blogs. 

Be sure to get your picks in. Plus make sure you select a day for pickup. It is going to be a crazy few weeks. I am sure with your waiting it will feel the same.

I am going to miss this experience despite the work. I may sleep in for a day when it is done so I can catch my breath for Sage and Misty pups. 

What an experience. 

The crazy thing is I can't make the blankets etc without names and a pick so last minute - why not. We will see if I am up for the challenge. LOL

Really?

Here is the gallery.

I have no milk I can hear Willow say but they persist then Willow wants to go inside so I tell her to get up on the couch. I do not think we will have the moms out tomorrow - just pups. They have to be the focus anyways. 

It's going to be a wild time with 12 as it is. :-)

No baths today even though I planned. Our new water heater rentals was installed and we had no water all day. Didn't fix our pressure but we do have hot water. But now that it is 630, I have a dog to groom that is departing on the morning and no time to do him tomorrow with 2 puppy visits.

Videos are coming soon.
