As I am trying to get many photos of the pups departing I am falling down on getting the adults. I will try to do better but no one is taking photos but me.
Everyone is having a great deal of fun. It was a cooler day and the dogs appreciated it.
But now I am going to watch tv covered with dogs. I need a break and besides I am missing pups so dogs laying all over me is just what the doctor ordered!

Stone had his brother over and they had a ton of fun.
The schnauzers have departed. They had fun, the havs had fun.
Sorry no more photos. Jiggs dropped in but you will get to see her tomorrow. She's not one of ours. But oh boy she is having fun. Maddie is an Ella and Panda fan. :-) Well Panda is Maddie's mom after all.

Cooper has a friend. Check out the gallery.
Ziggy decided to go in the pool while I was in it - of course. Mom and Dad are coming to get him in the morning. I think he rather likes the pool.
Benji took over from Kona and now he is doting over Ella.
Rox is on the watch!
Hey, Maddie is here!

The Coops swims
Brewski does too.
No one else seems to want to swim but we did have Hugo and Milo with their humans over and they swam and so did Ella and Kat. Nathan brushed everyone out and dried them. Wow what an amazing thing for me. He realizes after today I have bags to get ready, paperwork to do and it will be mighty busy.
I also have some photos of in and out of the pool. Hope you enjoy. Coops really loved the swim and so did Brewer but when they were cooled off, ran liek banshees and soaked all the cushions so we couldn't sit on them (yeah), then they wanted inside. It was a hot day today.
Here are a couple of photos shared with us.
Here is Tessa and Calean with a big dog experience.
Karen said:
We had Tessa in a pool yesterday and she seemed to like it. Today she loved it! Caelen is still hesitant about swimming....but we are working with her!
Bravo, Karen, Love that you have a water dog addition!
This is a photo of the Treasure. She's as beautiful as always. Looking forward to seeing her after the pups depart!
Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 6:53PM It;s all down hill from here. hahahaha What I mean is I am behind and I think I will continue to be till after pups are in their new home. I have paperwork, baths, bags to get ready but today we went to the pet expo.
The dogs made friends. (good one Bonham and Tuffie)
They got acquainted with a pig (good one Murphy).
And we chilled out. I so want one. I think I will buy myself a misting fan after the pups are gone as this felt so good. Anyone know where to buy one? I bought one last year and well Nathan broke it by accident before it was put together so if we get another, I will put it together. hahahaha Maybe this will be my treat for all the hard work.
Then Nathan and I went off to the farmers market at Downsview and I got cherries for $2 a huge bag and they are good. Then home. Kona departed. I sat and took photos and videos of the pups outside and then jumped in the pool.
Tomorrow we have Hugo and Milo coming over for a swim. Plus the Jazzy is visiting. Sounds like a fun day so blogs may be thin that day too.
Friday, June 24, 2016 at 8:16PM Too much going on today. I had dogs to do before Pet Expo for others and myself. Then after doing one they cancelled. hehehe Well at least he is clean now.
So, on that note I am only going to share some photos taken today. I am too tired. Sorry...

SUMMER PET FEST DETAILS: June 25-26 2016 10am to 5pm daily at Downsview Park’s Festival Terrace, 35 Carl Hall Rd, Toronto, ON M3K 2B6. TTC accessible. We will be there this Saturday at 930am.
See more about the location here.
Tracy, Dennis and Jon will be holding down the fort - so to speak - for the morning.
We hope to get some swimming in this weekend. It wasn't all that warm today.
Sorry this is so short but weather was good and instead of clicking so much I got to play with the dogs. I know you don't begrudge me that. Plus we have the Katie here just for the day. It's a treat!
Started thinning out Coops coat and that takes awhile. Will be doing that daily till they finish their move, get set up etc. We wish them a safe, easy and enjoyable move. I know moving is not fun but does Cooper know French yet?

Cooper is a riot. I groomed him as I did everyone today and he stretched out as if to say - time for a nap.
Og Rocco - I had you poifect for going home and there you make yourself a mess. Just love it!
Truffie was in that midset - you can forget about brushing me you know!
Reggie laid on the pool stairs and well he needs to be brushed out again. It's been one of those days.
Benji had a full comb out as did all but he kept saying - don't be stingy on those treats. I don't do this for nothing.
Kona is laying his head on Ella as I type. I have to laugh!
Guess what? Add to all the excitement - Saffron is having her heat. Got to add some excitement around here. It's pretty boring, you know!

This was my no groom day and aren't they a gorgeous natural looking crew. Tomorrow I play catch-up. Not often I head to the vets with pups so I know you forgive me. hehehehe
Everyone is doing really well. I notice I need to wash my door window at the back. It's a lovely blur. I bet you when I clean it tomorrow 2 minutes later it will look the same.
Blogs are short but I vow to do better tomorrow.
PS: Kona shares his treats with Ella.
Monday, June 20, 2016 at 8:39PM We are all having a blast but now I have to haed outside with the dogs and pups before we get rain. Will play catch-up on Wednesday but will try to get something more up tomorrow.

We wish the Stella a huge happy 5th birthday today! Hugs from the Talemaker crew!
Huge Happy Birthday to Moolly too!

Sorry as it is Father's Day the blogs are short. Here's a gallery from today. Also check out Spice's blog to see Luna playing with the pups. These are not all of the photos. I am simply out of time.

Tomorrow we will try to get Kona, Rocco and Ziggy in swimming. We were too busy to do a swimming day even though I jumped in the pool between visits it was a hurried experience. I wanted to get in after but well there was the blog and puppy play et. Now that it is edging up on 8pm I may do a tv show with Nathan and the dogs so forgive me.
Kona is so smittened with Ella that its hard to explain. It's like the boy that gives flowers to the next door neighbour gal each day and just gazes into her eyes. Ella just LOVES it. Love to know what Ella has.

Ella and SparkySome of the dogs wanted to swim, some not. Kona and Ziggy was very happy not going in even though they were invited. I think it had something to do with Dennis relaxing in thed tv room with food. hahahaha
Roxie Going to Jump on raft
She Made It
Ella and ClaritySeems like Trouble is a water dog and we will have to try to get her in again tomorrow. Maybe we will try Ziggy and Kona tomorrow or Sunday. Benji's here for a bit so we have time to comb him out before swimming times.
You see, I comb out all dogs before swimming and then after swimming so my ability to do x number of dogs is limited. I can only do so much and thus the issue. I still have a dog to groom and it si 9:16pm. That means a very late night for me plus my usual dish, pen etc clean ups.
Here's a video (keep trying) of Sparky, Clarity, Trouble and well Kat drying himself. Roxie, Ella and Inula also went swimming.
Videos:
Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 9:05PM Sorry no update. We actually spent so much time with the dogs that it's now 9pm and I didn't get to this blog but let's see....
Ziggy wants to sit on my lap while I eat. Sparky wants to snuggle at tv time. Dolly (now home) wants to play like a crazy monkey.
Kona is totally smitten by Ella. He especially loves her after she swims. Now what is that about?
Rocco plays with every one and I swear I have to get a video of him and his slow bowl. It's a fun sight each meal time.
Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 3:00PM Tried to get everyone interested in swimming and everyone would rather take a nap with Nathan. What is that about?
Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 8:38PM 
Our friend Mary came down and spent some time with the pups. She is in town with her husband and they dropped Sparky off to visit us. We are thrilled.
The dogs are doing well today. The Kona comes back tomorrow for a visit.

Do you feel better now? Nathan's Ankylosing spondylitis is giving him issues so he is getting massaged with the massager and kissed by the Ziggy. Can't get better than that.
Do you know Panda still plays with Trouble like she is a wee baby. Trouble no longer sees her as a milk bar.
Logan has such soul-filled eyes. I had so many hugs from him today.
Brewski was so funny today. I rather think he is enjoying the cool. He tackled Stone today and flattened him. Oh, it was all in fun but seeing Stone's surprised face was priceless. Didn't capture it. Starting to think I need a camera in my hand ALWAYS.

Ziggy LOVES comfort. He also loves this cooler weather. Me, not so much. But I reveled in seeing the dogs enjoy it. It was windy. It was cool but Ziggy and the crew is now laying all over the tv room and on Nathan watching tv. Ah, the life!
Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 6:04PM 
Leti's baby came to visit and all LETI WOULD DO IS SAY - NO MILK AT THE MILK BAR - YOU KNOW.
It was great to see him. It is actually too muggy hot out so not many photos but Ziggy is having a blast. Mickey also came for a bath and play. It's quiet around here!
