Monday, May 17, 2021 at 6:43PM Darlah Both Charlotte and True D went home today from Misty's litter.
Here are the before going home gallery.
Charlotte is getting acquainted with her packmate - dog family member. I hear he rather likes her.

Charlotte was an absolute doll about the bath, blow drying - all of it. Here is the gallery. What is interesting is both dogs departing tomorrow will have a dog packmate to go home with. How cool is that? Charlotte has a Scottie that will also become one of her best pals in life.
Charlotte is a smaller gal and I call her the small and mighty. She smiles too! She and I... well...
I have to admit I am really missing already but happy for the families as I have seen excitement. Niow that feels good!.

Well, we are now down to 7. Bailey's new family was so much fun with the pups today. Thank you!I so missed the family playing and interacting. I so enjoyed it.
It sounds like she is doing well. It is funny as Pippa's Bailey is here today.

Bailey's name is Talemaker Baileys Irish Cream
She was absolutely perfect for the bath, the dryer - all of it.
I see I need to trim around the pads. Levin family - please remind me. LOL Then I can show you.

Come Saturday the pups will be down to 7. So it begins.
Be sure to check out the videos.
Come Friday #3 Bailey will have her bath and photos will be taken again. This time around everyone will be meeting their pup for the 1st time. Not our usual - thank you Mr. Ford and covid. We are now extended into June.
But pups will go home and fun will be had. Then when we are no longer in Stay at Home you must come to try your little one in the pool. Misty is an avid swimmer.

Sometimes you have to so what you have to do. Run, play and well rest between. They had a blast today and you will see in the videos how true that is. This fun is contagious, if allowed.
I can't believe that the 1st one departs in 3 days. How can that be?

The pups had the experience of standing in the rain today. They never missed a beat. Oh rain. Oh that noise - all good.
The pups will get a bath before going home. They will have their nails done. I will clean up their pads and a smidge of their belly and clip around their bum but you won't notice. Well you will notice how fluffy they look. This gets done the night before. I will also post their names.
Pups had lots of fun today but I have to make the blog short. Sorry.
I will miss the pups in a huge way but do look forward to 2 less blogs. It has been a bit crazy.

We have to time plays outdoors between rain and when they are awake. They do still sleep a great deal in the day. They are also making it to 630am to 730am. As they do in their last week, they are extending their sleeping hours at night time.
The pups had a blast today as you will see in the videos.
We are trying to wait for the rain to stop so we can get them out there again or they will be going upstairs.
I surely hope teh weather cooperates for departures. They will occur anyways under the gazebo but maybe I need to get my curtains up at least on the top deck so we can have shelter if rain goes sideways. Maybe I need it on the bottom deck too for the pups. LOL

As you can see with this pup escaping this bed, they are such fun beings. Soon they will be going out again but I will not be taking photos today. I am trying to semi relax tonight.
Be sure to check out the videos.
It looks like rain so we are hoping they get to go out. I will be uploading the videos shortly.
Pups are sure at a fun, fun stage. You will love these guys - both crews!

Weights in Order of Birth
Male 3.85lb is 1.75kg
2nd Born Gal 3.08lb is 1.4kg
3rd born gal 3.41lb is 1.55
4th born Gal Diamond is 3.19lb 1.45kg
5th born gal is 3.74lb 1.7kg
None of the pups are sore from the microchips or vaccines - hooray. They are out for the 3rd time today as I blog with Dennis.
Friday, May 7, 2021 at 7:29PM Darlah 
How did this crew do? Only one didn't yelp loudly when the microchip went in. Who was it? You tell me.
2 of this crew sang to us part of the way to the vets. Do you know who? The rest including Raven's just was quiet. I think I am going to take them for a short ride in the car just so they know car rides do not mean shots and microchips. I want them to think of the car as a good thing. I need to find the time but that is my desire.
Everyone is healthy and was deemed really nice. They were impressed.
On the car ride home - silence even as we sat and waited for a 11 minute train to pass by. LOL I never realized they made the trains so long.
All and all a big success. My day is shot but we made it back and now I have 1 outstanding pertinent info for one of the dogs that must be sent as its one of the early go homers. Lots of work must be done before they depart.
What a truly oustanding crew this is -Misty's 1st and Raven's last. Thank you for allowing me to love them, get to know them and experience who they are - incredibly special each in their own unique way.

Weights at Vet to be added on Tomorrow's blogs

This was the play session this morning before the vets.
We will be posting the after vets on Raven's blog tonight.
Pups had a blast and they are now upstairs running the hall to expel their energy.
Soon we will depart.

How did the boy do? He was wonderful but they all were. He was Mr. Laidback. They so love the water. One gave me stink eye when the dryer first came on but that was momentary. The face was priceless! You will see in the gallery. This boy departs on the 19th.
These are all in order of birth. I loved this photos so had to post it. It shows her beauty. This is #2 gal. Every single one of both crew loved the entire experience. She departs on the 17th.
This is the 3rd gal and I love this photos as if to say - here's looking at you. This gal departs on the 15th. She is quite the character.
This is the 4th gal. This is the one we call Diamond as when she was born, she had a diamond shape marking on her. She was so matter of fact - okay let's do this! She departs on the 18th.
This is the last gal - the 5th. She wanted to hang out and have a conversation with you. What a riot. She departs on the 17th.
This is the gallery AFTER the bath.
The last pups depart on the 19th. I think on the 20th will be a no groom day. LOL have to look at my calendar.
I am so far behind as this took me 4 hours to bath, dry and take pix. I also had on my plate all of the usual. So, I am trying to finish the blogs before I have to do before bed chores.
Tomorrow I will again be late but will try to do some in the morning before the trip to the vets.

Oh it was hysterical and sometimes impossible but Nathan got all the nails done as you will see in a couple of the videos. It was getting so impossible that I stopped videoing him. He had his hands full. Now they will be done for the vet visit on Friday.
Blogs are short today. See Raven's blog why. It is already 641pm and I have a gift to complete for someone. I may be doing it at midnight. LOL

Today, I rolled a ball and she tracked it and pounced on it in pure play mode. This gal smiles at me and Sage has one that smiles too. They are related. She is such a happy gal and if I could keep one, oh boy I would love it to be this one as she just makes you have infectious smiles back.
Oh they are all great. There are just some that are intuitive to your needs and I need fun, laughter and smiles. She gave that to me today. Thank you, little one.
Well, we have a busy week. Baths in 2 days, vets in 3 days and then starting to get the puppy packs ready and of course Mother's Day. I am so trying to get a few hours off. Of course there are always blogs but maybe no dishes at bedtime or cleaning the puppy pens or grooming. Maybe something delish to eat.
But I am goin to miss the Raven and Misty crew. I so hope that covid goes and we can have them back for swimming whever we get that pool heater. Now that is something to look forward to.
Be sure to check out the videos.
I didn't have as many night ones but they are starting to sleep through. It always happens. Soon we will remove the food and they will make it through the night.
