Happy Halloween!

Hi Nathan and Darlah,
Here is a cute pic of Rocco during his pet therapy visit at Bloorview McMillan Kids Rehab Centre.
All the pets dressed up and it was great fun.
You should have seen the smiles on the kids faces!

We are proud of you Rocco. What a nice way to make a Halloween better for kids in need.
Cosmo is visiting us. We haven't seen him in a long time. He came in going oh my gad - are these dogs friendly to going oh yeah they are. Now he is enjoying himself It's wonderful to have him visiting again. He doesn't get much of a chance to socialize with other dogs so a visit like this is so good for him and fun too as a bonus!
Today Bewer was smitten with Roxie but he also had his moments with Leti. Are you a player, Brewski? hahahahaha
Looks like a sedate crew but they waited till I went in. What is it with me and the camera? Or is Dennis and Nathan just more fun? hmmm
Levon and Trigger have been so funny. I sit in the tv room and they compete over who gets my lap and really Levon is not happy if I have Trigger unless he is also on my lap. Got to laugh!
Well tonight we are the grinch of Halloween. We shut off our lights and we do not answer the door. We probably get 1 or 2 kids in years past but its not worth the dogs seeing the costumes. It can be scary for them and then they would bark. So we will hibernate in the tv room and watch tv.
Stay safe everyone and enjoy!

Inula is in heat. We have at least 10 more days of this craziness. In that time we will have pups departing and pups arriving. Got to laugh!
We had a great day today but I didn't really click many photos. I will play catch-up tomorrow. Inula's whioning is getting to me so I think I will put on headphones and wash a dog or two.

Well almost no update as we just got in. This is Secret (Cinnamon's sister) who is doing so well in the ring. We had fun seeing her and Roxie's baby called Dirty Deeds.
We bought dog shampoo and conditioner (of course) and I got my scissors sharpened. Someone also did a drawing of Roxie and Ella jumping in the pool so now I have to find the right frame for it. Thank you!
We had a great time but we are exhausted and we have to figure out tomorrow and so many people and pups. Inside, outside or both. Perhaps both. Plus I also have many to wash and groom tomorrow - oh and the usual cleaning and I had plans on washing Saffron but it's not happening. Life... every now and then we enjoy and pay the price.
All the dogs are doing well. Dennis said they had a blast today but he didn't have a camera. I did. So, I am afraid we are gallery and video free for one day across the board.
Friday, October 28, 2016 at 6:19PM Talemaker's Dirty Little Secret (Cinnamon's sister) and Spice and Envy's daughter won Best Puppy in group today and BOW getting her the 1st 3 points towards her championship. She has won a slew of baby puppys in group and baby puppy in show but you can't get points till you are 6 months and no longer a baby puppy. So, the big girl now is competing with quite a lot of dogs. There are 14 havanese she was competing with. So, pretty impressive. I will be taking photos tomorrow so you can see what she looks like. We will see how the rest of the weekend goes.
Grace is saying, I know there are treats up there. Okay, groom me so I can have some. heh That's the routine here.
We had a busy day today. You realize we were out to Judy's and out to the vets twice this week. Tomorrow we are off to Lindsay to a show. We get to see our pups without the headache of showing ourselves. All I have to do is socialize and click photos and get my scissors sharpened. heh Maybe I will even buy something. I have been saving my tips to buy something for the dogs. Hey, what's that about?
Tomorrow we are off at 730am and not back till evening. Expect blogs to be small and no galleries or videos. Dennis and Tracy aren't good at that so one day holiday. I will click a photo when I get home ao you at least have a visual. This is my time out before pups. I need it. :-0
PS: If you hear of a used leaf blower for sale, please let me know, I do not have time to rake, I am afraid.
Thursday, October 27, 2016 at 5:12PM 
Our or in? Depends on who you are. Some like rain, others not so much. Me - I would rather have the white stuff. Call me lazy but washing floors and feet - well I am an assembly line.
Logan is one of those that said talk to the paw after he sniffed the air and went oh rain. He loves this comfort spot where he can watch the crazy ones go outside including the humans.
Tomorrow we head out to the vest so blogs will be short and Saturday we head to the show - more shortness. Come Sunday e have Saffron's humans coming to see them. Finally a decent update. hahahaha
I did manage to get everyone dry. I so want to sit in the recliner and cuddle with a blanket of dogs. Is it too early?
It's been a day of changes. Time to set up the xpen here.

Pacho
SpiceHello Darlah and Nathan,
I hope you are doing very well as all the doggies. Pacho and his siblings are turning 6 today. Happy birthday to all of them. Pacho is taken an easy day, went from our bed to his bed and doesn't give signs of wanting to get up anytime soon! Well,...his other chores can wait: eat, go for a walk, ...
Rocio
------
This was the litter of 7. We have Pacho, Marlee Sue, Charlie, Doozie, Gracie and Spice. One passed away when he escaped via his house getting hit by a car. Not to put a damper on the celebrations - wow Spice too! But please block access to the doorways especially when it is holiday time when people come in and out.

It's rather chilly out. They say snow showers tonight. Here is a small gallery of some of the dogs outdoors. Above is Nora who loves sitting on a chair while we eat. She is hopeful but we do not feed from the table.
Tiny and Winston was over for the day. Winston for a bath, Tiny to just play. Tiny really connected with Nora. They were enjoying spooning time in the tv room. I asked Dennis if he captured it and he said yes but I didn't see it on the stick. He had a bunch in the tv room that were too blurry but still couldn't find it. Oh well. It was mighty cute.
Murphy and Moseby dropped in too. Another boy Murphy comes tomorow night (puppy Murphy). I think Murphy is a popular name.
Tomorrow Rowan, Emmy and Amelia departs. So does Murphy. Lots of changes. Friday we get xrays for Jeannie and Adele.
Will it snow? Will it not? If it does I hope it is AFTER Levon and Trigger arrive and Shannon gets to where she is going. Winter tires everyone?
Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 5:26PM 
Dolly was visiting. Dogs were playing and had a blast but I didn't get too many clicks. Sorry about that. Here is the gallery.
I am playing catch-up on things. On Friday we have the vets again and on Saturday I am heading to a dog show in Lindsay and Tracy and Dennis are holding down fort. This way we get a break before new wonders join us.
The dogs truly love this weather. It's as if it shoots them with an infusion of excitement. It's the brisk air.
Monday, October 24, 2016 at 10:22PM 
I am running on empty. Sorry I am trying to get blogs done, go to bed and have a dog ready to depart tomorrow. I do not have the health forms from Judy so I am going a bit bonkers. I am hoping she sends them first thing in the morning. That is why I am so late as I was going through every single mail from her to see if she sent. Now I have to finish the rest of the paperwork. Oh my. Late night for me. Nathan is already in bed.
Dogs had a wonderful day. Murphy and Saffron are back playing together. It's wonderful to see. Saffron is 95% done with weaning. I suspect by tomorrow it will be 100%.
Sorry if this blog is short. Dogs are already snuggled into Nathan waiting for me and well... I will get there. Till tomorrow!!
Darlah
Just got health forms. Nike departing at 10am.
Sunday, October 23, 2016 at 5:31PM 
By tomorrow we will have a house that is quieter. Murphy will depart Tuesday or Wednesday? Her mom is selling her home and having a crazy open house, people non stop experience. Let's hope she gets offers on Tuesday. Murphy has been having a blast but I got to give her a bath. heh
The Rowan pups are now out with the adults when they are out playing. Here is a gallery. I didn't take these photso so I am sure not everyone is clicked. I tend to try to get everyone. Dennis just clicks between taking in furniture today. Yes, he has had that job. So if he missed anyone forgive him. He has a good excuse.
The boys including Jesse thinks Inula is in heat. Not seeing it yet but probably so. Shoot me. As we finally decided we do not want to breed her I believe we will get her spayed. Our breed is havanese and we adore them. Inula will just be a big dog experience for the pups.
We are already getting calls and emails for the holidays. Please plan accordingly as we cap.
We have so much to do to get ready for winter forget about the rest and well I have a dog to wash now before he goes home.
Today I am sad for Summer to be done and fall to be here fully. I am sad for pups departing but happy for them. I am sad for pups to depart soon but happy for them. I am excited to see what Jeannie and Adele produce but bracing ourselves for the land of no sleep and who has time to eat experiences.
It's life and well the dogs are all having fun. There is no mistaking that!
Blogs will be small tomorrow as we will be at the vets. Tuesday we will get back to it! Sunday we have a saffron puppy visit and are they going to love them. So much to look forward to for everyone!
Happy Sunday!!
Saturday, October 22, 2016 at 5:36PM 
Connor and Pippin really like Cinnamon gal. They tag team her and have a blast and she loves it!
We had fun glorious play. You will have to see in the gallery. You will also have to check out Rowan's blog where you will see the pups with some of the adults. These galleries were taking early in the day so anyone who arrived after that will be in tomorrow's gallery. :-) I may also have some photos from yesterday. I had a wrong date on Nathan's camera so photos got thrown all together and well if that is the case just enjoy them again. :-)
UPDATE: Just went out and clicked so I could get the dogs playing tonight. Shady and Nora was in the swing of it running with the crew.
The house empties out tomorrow mostly. I get to wash Saffron pups in the afternoon for their vet visit. We have 2 different families coming at different times to see the Emmy boy that remains.
The dogs are LOVING this cool air. Me, not so much!
Looking forward to snuggling with Nora tonight. Shady is a Nathan dog through and through.
Friday, October 21, 2016 at 3:46PM You should read this article. I can't create galleries and this morning my ISP provider was down along with many other places such as Twitter, Visa, Netflix and the list goes on.
The blogs will be short but updated minus any galleries I can't do.
This is Adele who I call my Adelee Wellee. We all have pet hames for our dogs. Adele's official names is Talemaker's Rollin' in the Deep. She was getting brushed today. Everyone got brushed. I woke up with lower back pain that makes picking up interesting. I think I must have slept with too many pillows. I am going to sleep flat tonight after some tylenol 3s and then see how I am tomorrow.
Connor is here playing up a storm. This is a Roxie puppy. He is such a 'happy, happy' puppy.
It's raining and some come in like wet rags and some say not me, I want back in. I would rather have snow then rain but I must take in furniture etc. So I need time before the white stuff. I never seem to find the time.
Dogs are playing like crazy. Sometimes the floors like like footprint city. We wash they mess but this too shal pass.
Tonight we possibly have an Emmy pup is departing. Busy times.
Oh and Brie thinks she is human and feels her rightful place is at the table. hahahaha
Thursday, October 20, 2016 at 7:00PM 
It's a wet nasty day out and well we want better food! We have to eat our lunch in the hall or others may think it is better than it is. Not to worry, Daddy went to Brunos to get a steak so he had something to add in. Spoiled. Then he stopped at the store and got some treats for the rest.
That's okay. Dawgs are meant to be indulged every now and then even when they are not pregnant.
No matter what I did today the dogs look a mess cause they are. It is simply too wet here. I brush and they look disheveled. I give up.
Risa jumped the wrong way on her back legs and she is holding up her leg. We are supposed to rest her but although we get her to mostly do this she has a mind of her own. It takes about 2.5 weeks for rest. She is not in pain. You can go up and down her leg. She does not react. Shoshi did this years ago not once but twice jumping off the deck after ducks. Sometimes dogs can be silly.
All the dogs are well. They are enjoying fun play. Connor dropped in and he's having a blast.
Looking forward to dryer times.

Playing like crazy and Nathan clicked. Check his clicks out here.
Nathan was good enough to click photos today. He didn't do it all day like I do when I have large galleries but he did click a fair number.
I was out with a dear friend that I haven't seen in quite sometime so it was great to eat out and chat and have then say time to leave.
But I feel bad that I am not able to do my usual updates but hopefully they are good enough.
We are watching the debate tonight. The debate occurs in Las Vegas. Funny they picked the land of glitz for the last debate.
Dogs had a blast today. Goldie departs tonight.
Tomorrow we have someone coming to see the pups. I was going to give them baths but sort of silly to when they keep running through mud. It's fun you know!
Emmy had an issue with Jesse. Nothing bad. He just was in her face (space) and felt uncomfie. Today she says oh that is just Jesse. Conditioning does work. Jesse loves all but he is big and he can be in a dog's space. He's learning too.
Connor comes tomorrow! We are excited!
Tuesday, October 18, 2016 at 7:12PM 
Teddy departed and Teddy arrived for grooming. :-)Yes, that's 2 different Teddy's. :-0 We had an interesting day. It was windy and warm as ever and then it just started raining a few moments ago. We had to rush everyone in as it really started to come down.
We had a great day. I did groom a fair bit and now I am blogging late but it's life. Tomorrow I have a friend coming to visit and we are playing with pups and doing lunch. I am looking forward to it! I may be sparse or late blogging.
Jesse and Murphy arrived today. By tomorrow everyone will have adjusted to Jesse. It is so good for them.
Everyone seems to love Stone but especially Emmy.
Nathan is now doing tv time with teh dogs. Well, I am here!
They say cold setting in tomorrow.
Monday, October 17, 2016 at 5:30PM 
Brie is so funny. She literally whips her hair back and forth after I brush her up and redo her hair as if to say - so THERE!
We have had a mighty rainy day so some went out for really short visits. I also had to do a lot of feet. I want to cement my back. heh
We had a LOT of fun - every single one but it's a short blog.
Jeannie and Adele's calendar is now up. Dates for xrays are also posted on each blog.
Sunday, October 16, 2016 at 6:20PM 
Well we had a total blast today but we are also dealing with a van that the security alarm won't shut off. Can't you just have a fun unevent-filled day?
It was rainy so many of the photos don't take in the entire day. They had so much fun, it was hysterical.
I did get everyone brushed and combed out. I do so want to sit and watch Goliath. I fell asleep to it last night and I think I saw 15 minutes of it.
They are calling for more rain tomorrow.
Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 7:48PM 
Now that baths are done (puppies) and a visit for Safi pups is completed, I can concentrate on taking photos of the adults. This was Miss Adele lazing outside while we had a visit. Jeannie also joined in. Both are pregnant and was enjoying the warmth outside. Who would have thought this time of the year and sleeveless shirts. We are so enjoying this but I must admit I didn't get to click the adults but will tomorrow.
Everyone is having a truly WONDERFUL time.
Nathan did click a few photos. Here they are. The pups were outside and got the blackest feet and then I had to clean. So now you know why I didn't get to click. heh.
So, I promise tomorrow. I have to go make my lap available to any dog(s) that want it. You understand, don't you?
Friday, October 14, 2016 at 7:05PM 
Yes, we play indoors and out. We had a truly fun day but I had the pups to wash and take photos of and we had Magic, Teddy and Ty drop in. Magic was just here for the day. Here's a small gallery of the play in the kitchen. We also had a family come to see the Rowan and Emmy pups. I also am tired so I will do a better job at updating tomorrow, I hope. hahaha
