Shout Out and More

Big shout out from the Talemaker crew and Kona to his human Momma. It's her birthday today! Glad its warmer there than here. Kona decided today 1 treat was not enough after his brushing so I indulged and he got two as he can celebrate Momma's birthday too. :-) Well that's my story and I am sticking to it!

We went to class last night. Something about cold and my lungs had me coughing and coughing and it was too cold to sit outside so I went inside and took a few photos.

Lighting is really bad for photo taking but you can still get the idea. I think it was a mistake to go but I survived. Leti is in class with all big dogs including a very rambunctious doodle. At first the tail went down and then soon went back up. She did really well. But as we missed last week's class we have training to do. It was also her first time she had a lead on so I was impressed.

Next week Adele is in class with Bailey in Tricks class and then we get to hang out with Leti. It's going to make  for a long night each Thursday.

Bentley, Adele's brother was over for a bath.

His human mom I think wants Abigail. :-) DJ the other brother is here too for a couple of days. He now has a short hairdo and adores the pups. You will have to see the puppy blog to see that.

Risa and Kat also had a bath but we never clicked Kat. It was a chore getting Nathan to click Risa. I heard him mumbling how many things do you want me to do? Well, if I am working still somewhat sick and playing catch-up then he has to do that end if I am bathing. We also ended up throwing a bunch of food away (scratching my head about that one) but it seems I was sick and no one paid attention to dates OR FREEZING THINGS? Oh well the little things I am responsible for - who knew? Playing grooming catch-up is not fun and I am not finished. Still got Shoshi, Wasabi, Abigail and Fiona. I figure by Monday I am done on mine or maybe Tuesday. If Nathan had only surprised me and washed dogs. Yes, I am laughing.

Miss Molly's mom brought us something to munch on yesterday - deepest gratitude. How timely as we had room in the fridge but now its almost gone. I think I had 1 bite. heh

It's too cold for walks. I think Dennis is 100%. Nathan is saying he still has a cold. I am about 80% to 85% depending on the time of the day. We are getting there.

Can't wait to start tricks are for dogs. I was considering waiting until spring but them thought it will good for Bailey to have some one on one time with me when the pup comes home. Hoping we don't get any crazy snowstorms on the next four Thursday's!

A huge Happy Birthday To Kathy from the Duncans! Good for Kona for getting an extra treat for his mommy's birthday. That's the way it should be :-)

Thanks for the Birthday wishes,
Kona accepts any reason for an extra treat,

Looks like Leti adjusted quickly to the lead.
