It's a hard week for me. Nathan goes away tomorrow till Monday night. Clarity goes to what is hopefully her forever home on Friday. She is also sporting a new short do that I did earlier so I could adjust. I like her hair long so its been a transition with her and me. I got a dog in really matted so it will take me time to deal with that.

Murphy is here - fun, fun, fun!

Scruffy and Pepper dropped in - fun, fun, fun! Brewer, Finn and Odin are playing here. Okay I can't keep saying fun bit it is! It's threatening to rain so no pool and besides no time.

Nathan is out running errands before he departs tomorrow - haircut, cleaners, tag for the car plate, food - not so fun stuff. I am grooming and playing with the dogs. 

Murphy and Saffron are really tight pals. It will make class easier for them both, I imagine. Clarity will also be joining us at class and at the picnic so you will get to meet her new Mom Christine. She's a lovely person. So, please welcome her to the Talemaker gang! She's on our list for a puppy too so Clarity will eventually have a sibling after she bonds to her new home. I know Clarity will really like that!

Doing things as I can and still having fun with the dogs. I did pick up a ball that bounces in the water. Now that has the potential to be fun. 

Flying hair today with wind!

Oh Spice you are a delicious mom!

So she will brush us, we go out and well the wind makes us a mess again - we do it too! Oh it is so fun to get that human to skip a day. :-)

Even dirt made its way into the pool and mulch too. tsk tsk

Oh Odin you are having so much fun! You just keep trying to cozy up to Pepper and she says move on by boy! Then 10 minutes later she under the Japanese maple with you. hahahaha

Lovefest?

Brewer says and you want...

Treat hunting!

Scruffy really likes the pups these days!

Hair Raising Fun!

Shakin' Brewer

Playing

So happy for you Christine. I think I've seen some of your past posts on the blog and you were hoping for a first Talemaker dog sometime in the fall. So nice to be able to give Clarity a forever home. She is cute as a button! Welcome to the Talemaker family!

So nice that Murphy and Saffron are buddies. Can't wait for class! It will be so much fun.

Clarity's new hair do is very cute. Nice job Darlah.. All the best to Clarity and her forever family.

Yes, I am very fortunate that Nathan, Darlah, and most importantly, Clarity, chose me. I was 19 on the list for this year, so very unlikely that my name would come up even in the fall. I'm still grieving the loss of my 2 dogs a few months ago. I feel this was meant to be and just can't wait to bring Clarity home and be part of the Talemaker family. I'm very happy! Clarity is a beautiful dawgy, inside and out. Thank you all for the wonderful supporting comments.
Three thumbs up to Darlah - I think that is the nicest puppy cut I've ever seen! You are very talented.😀

Yes, Clarity looks adorable! Good luck to you Christine. Looking forward to meeting you both at the Havanese picnic.

Clarity looks great. What a great puppy cut. Congratulations
Christine and welcome to the Talemaker family. I am sorry I won't be at the picnic but hope are paths cross sometime soon. Sorry about the loss of your dogs I am sure it has been very difficult but these Talemaker puppies have so much love to give, enjoy. I look forward to seeing pictures. Darlah great to see so many pictures. They are having a ball. Great to see Ella. Nathan have safe trip and good luck.

Thanks everyone. Clarity will bring joy and life back into my home.

June 23, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterChristine

Congratulations Christine. I know what it is like to lose two beloved doggies very close together. Am looking forward to meeting you at the picnic. It will be our first Talemaker picnic too but I hope the first of many to come.

Darlah, forgot to add that puppy cut is gorgeous!!!!

June 24, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAngela and Patches

Thanks - the picnics are wonderful. So many dogs to see, people to talk to and make sure a dish, your chair and a camera if you so desire. Chairs are at Loblaws now for 11 bucks. Don't bring salad unless its a really different one. Everyone brings salad and then so much gets thrown out.

The operative word is NUTS. Hard to fit in exercise but I vow to this week.
