1st Baths

Here is the Willow bath gallery.

After the Nami crew was done, I compared photos and put the 5 in a crate to wash. The crate was used for transporting them to the tub. All pups did well. No one was screaming. I did the pups myself and Nathan spent time with the Nami pups while I washed this crew. Dennis transported them to the tub and outside to air dry. Then I had the Hallie pups to do.

No one has had their pads, nails, tummy, belly and around eyes done. That will come after Nathan gets up from his nap. I will be adding more video then. Nathan will do the nails and I will do the rest and try to do it on video. It won't be in any order. 

Tomorrow's visits will be outside. This is a good thing and according to the weather Sunday will be too. Let's hope that doesn't change as there is more room outdoors and it won't be hot but instead comfortable. 

I so hope you enjoy the visit. We are like proud parents knowing our kids are off on their journey soon.

Here is a few nails and play outdoor gallery. These are unique from the other galleries. We couldn't do everyone. 16 is a great deal to film and take photos and do. So we completed everyone but only took a video of some and photos of some. I hope that is okay. Everyone did amazing! Wait till you see them tomorrow!

Lazing in the Heat

Here is the gallery.

It is a hot one today. Sure wish we had the pool open. Pups enjoyed the morning play but when it got hot mid day, they were less active and not as playful but they still were active enough.

Pups were also sluggish in the house too as this room that they are in reached 90f as we have 4 single paned windows and despite the blinds being closed the heat rose and rose. I was also grooming much of the day under hot dryers. I actually almost dried and then let dogs air dry and then finished them. The house is now cool and the pups are happy. I thought of bathing the pups today but they will get done tomorrow. 

Videos getting uploaded shortly.

Willow's Under There

Here is the gallery.

Sometimes you want to tell Willow - gal come up for air. She tells them, I am done feeding amd they persist. So, she allows. She will get there. Good news is they are eating more and more food. We have even softened food and added chicken and they ate it well.

Videos coming soon.
