Busy Times at Talemaker

Today Joe and Lyndall came over with Saki. Saki is from Wasabi's last litter - the littlest gal.

I just love this couple and what they do with Saki san. They make us realize why we do this crazy dawg stuff.

They also have quite the knack at storytelling with their dawg adventures as you could see from Saki's sky adventure and menu reading in hotels.

They are starting obedience next week with her.

Saki played up a storm and remembered Abigail well. She also played nose to nose with her canine Mommy. She was an absolute wriggler when it came to saying hello and Nathan had to remind me that they had to have their dawg back so they could go. Selfish me...heh

Just as they were ready to go we got more company.

Do you remember Lil' Man - now known as Milo? Well, his parents and pack mate came to visit as well. His pack mate's names is Hugo and talk about funny stories from them.

I swear this couple is the Erma Bombeck of the dawg parents.

The muddy stories - and oops we will leave it at that and let you use your imagination would make you laugh and laugh.

Plus there's more...

We also have 3 visitors that add an element of fun to the mix beyond the reality of me trying to keep white feet clean - are you KIDDING and it's going to rain so oh no - Jebi and his coat. But we love the play but more play means more grooming but how can you not let them play. Show coats are different as you have to keep them long and maintained very well. So, I am way busy!

Here's Jeb (Tibetan Terrier) and his long coat playing with Saki. He thought she was great but he didn't have an off switch. :-)

Want to come over and help me with grooming him or the two bichons? ROFL

Then Yvonne is coming down today and will she be bringing the dawgs or not - in about 10 minutes we will know for sure.

Just a reminder...if you are going away this holiday and need us to watch your pups, we need to know earlier than later. We are already getting folks booking.

After this weekend is over, I am going to do a slide show of all the movement shots from our crew and our visitors. They all ADORE the pool cover. Doggie trampoline..that is!

Every dawg house deserves one!

Wow, looks like Gidget is going to have a grant during her month stay at your place. She may not even remember me when time to come home.
