Here is the bath gallery.

This is the 2nd crew I did. The 1st was Stormys. The pups were truly great in the bath and for the dryer as well. They even did well with me stringing them up for photos.

I hate covid as this is the 1st time you get to see them. You will love them - well I do. We are now in stage 2 as of Friday.What that means is nothing as we will proceed as if we are in stage 1.

Tomorrow at noonish they see the vet and we will see how long that takes for 15.  Then visits begin Wednesday night.

Dennis and I have weeded. We will have Wednesday to move furniture off the deck and clean and sterilize the deck. Much work but it will be fun to see you enjoying the pups. I promise you that it will be worth the wait.

Oh the Cool Weather

They say we are in for a heatwave this week. They also say rain on Saturday and Sunday. Please mother nature cooperate. That's okay. I will hang up the curtains and we will do it anyways. Besides that is a full week away so anything can change.

You will enjoy your visit either way. 

Bring your own water or drink so we do not have to deal with that if it is very warm. usually people forgo drinks and just focus on pups but if its going to be very hot - you may feel the need.

I can't believe this week is here and I bet you can't either. They are mighty delicious! I warn you.

What to Expect

On the day of your visit, bring your camera, your good nature and smiles. I will be taking videos and Nathan will be taking photos. Due to the distance thing, Nathan won't be hogging the pups (yes, I am laughing).

Pups will last as long as they last. When they get tired we bring them back and Nathan gets to answer any questions. I will nap - just kidding. I so wish.

We have visits from Wednesday till Sunday night. Monday I start getting things ready for the bags and get things I ultimately forgot I didn't have enough of. I already ordered the food and it is here so 1 bag of Fromms will go home with you. I have to order the treats and make sure I have all the rest.

If by Saturday or Sunday I start saying stupid things - forgive me. We have never had to do so many visits but I feel strongly that you must meet the pups. We feel terrible about the 6 week but the restrictions would have made it impossible.

Between visits our adult dogs will need attention other than Dennis and go outdoors. Humans will have to fit in eating, cleanup and what have you.

I am sure you are excited and I am excited to see you with the pups. They are our babies and we hope they survive this craziness. Luckily Nathan did have a gap between visits in a day otherwise the pups would just be sleeping. We can't have that.

So, let the fun begin....

Videos are getting uploaded now.

Choco Boy

For some reason someone said they see the other Leti chocolate boy but not this one so much. This one is Mr. Lovee. He is such a beauty. He is more of a low key boy but still full out plays. He is happy playing with a toy and entertaining himself but if given the opportunity, he will wrestle with one of the 14 others.

He is really a pretty spectacular boy.

Playing

Hmm this gal is always on top. What is that about?

Here is the gallery. I decided to do one vs several. It's a time thing.

Pups go between decks with ease. We may figure out how to take the furniture off the decks - yes more to do and block up the top and bottom deck 7 pups on one deck, 8 on the other than switch up. All new due to our need to keep you safe. We will figure it all out.

Till tomorrow!

Upstairs Play

No matter where the pups are they are mighty comfie. They have sailed through each stage without any stepping stones to get past.

Here is the gallery.

It's fun to watch them play no matter where they are without hesitancy.

The pups have some fave toys, beds etc as you can see in the videos. I will be uploading them shortly.

How did they get so old so fast?

Hot Day in Paradise

Here is a mini gallery.

The pups, as you will see are comdortable wherever. They have had some really great conditioning but hmm we need grass and a pool. LOL

Playful

If you watch this chocolate boy, he is quite fun and playful. He doesn't wait till someone starts to play with him. He attempts to get others to play. He's rather social and smart.

Here is the afternoon gallery.

We keep spme things consistent and we rotate toys. The idea is to create new interest and it works.

the pups are doing really well eating. No one seems to be feeding them anymore but they do want to play with them. They will play until the won't stop trying to feed then the moms say enough. By weeks end they will get it and then moms will be in teaching them all sorts of things.

The Fun Begins

I will tell you that we use 3 sherpa bags to take the pups out. Dennis opens up the gate and they try to escape and some can and do till he laughs his head off putting them in the bag and trying to seal it before the great escape. It is a riot. You would laugh your head off and Dennis does too as he is attempting to get them all in the bags.

They are smart, adventurous and well fun. They make me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Make sure you check out the videos. I am uploading them now.
