Feeling Blessed

Barry goes home tomorrow. He wasn't sure when he arrived how this would go never having been away from his humans and he is middle age guy. It took some time and exposures but Barry is now doing amazing. So when it came time for Jesse (collie) to come I was worried he would be back at square one but nope - he is and remains wonderful. He plays with Jesse as he does with all. We are going to miss him truly! Bath time in the morning and then he gets to give kisses to his humans.
Those that came to visit was extra lucky as they got to be exposed to a gentle but large soul. They have had to learn that bigger dogs play different and can't maneuver like small dogs. It is an adjustment and everyone is doing really well. If anything I think they played too much and now they are draped all over the tv room couches including the collie who takes up the loveseat. Good thing we have pillows on our tables, a huge crate with bedding that stays open and a cushion on top for those that like to sit on high. Lots of comfie room.
Harper is here for an overnight stay. He was at a groomer and the clippers caught under I assume a mat and ended up cutting him and he needed stitches. Mom has to work and didn't want to leave him alone to his own devices most likely ripping those stitches out. Things can happen but any good groomer will tell you about an ooops and offer to pay and will probably feel terrible about it. Thankfully I have never had anything happen but sometimes you get a wild child on the table so I can see where it can happen.
I am off to snuggle with the dogs. They are truly spent (tired). We had a blast and we only got a dusting of snow. Its not enough to truly snap and enjoy the photos. We will see what tomorrow brings.
Gidget is and remains AMAZING with the pups. She snuggles up on the recliner with me and well all is right in the world. Looking forward to the snuggling. Till tomorrow!

Barry will miss his time at your wonderful home. We are blessed to have found you!
Thank you, Darlah and Nathan for taking such good care of my Gidget. Looking forward to see all of you on Friday.
Gidget is so at home here. I just love the gal!
Ouch, poor Harper. This type of negative experience may make him nervous about grooming in general.
Barry looks like he loves playing with a ball.
I think that all your Havanese visitors have a great experience during their stay
at Talemaker. I know it has helped Kona adapt better to other dogs.
I have been purposely grooming Harper a number of times a day and he is okay with me. It came to mind that he may need some conditioning. He isn't paying any attention to the stitches.
We sent Barry home with his fave blue squeaker toy as he loved it. Poor parents got home at 430am so I am hopeful that Barry and them can now have a nap after some full out play this morning in this white stuff though still not enough on the ground. Panda and Roxie pups think its enough.
The conditioning works. We find each day they get better. We also help their comfort level along.
