Coco and Easter

Look what fun they had. Hope you had a wonderful time and the photo is ever so cute!

A Cute Share

One of our puppy people that has a 6 month old pup called Tiny and small kids sent me this:

Hi Darlah and Nathan,

Thought this was very cute and wanted to share.

Etienne got into trouble yesterday and was being disciplined and put in a time-out by Kirby. Just when Kirby was talking to Etienne, Tiny first barked at Kirby, then he jumped up and tried to pat on Kirby's legs. Then Tiny went over to lick off the tears on Etienne's cheeks and sat next to Etienne until he's allow to be out of time-out.

Good puppy

Two Updates

Here's a gallery of some unedited photos taken the last couple of days. I did eliminate the real blurry ones. These were taken by Nathan.

Everyone is having a blast!

Happy Easter and Passover

In the end nora says happy Easter too.  as you'd say, its a non grooming day!
Shady says happy easter!  kids are working on nora but she is so small that the bunny ears are slipping off! Happy passover too

Happy Easter, Joyous Passover

Both families wish you a wonderful holiday weekend. 

Gorgeous photos....

Having internet issues so can't upload to Youtube so we may have a no video day. We shall see.

Photos Received

First I want to wish everyone a good holiday season whether it is Easter or Passover - may you crreate memories and have good conversations. Good health to all!

I am not doing an update. I am tired and well not myself. I may be up again tonight as a couple still have upset tummies so indulge my need to be short.Rocco is the only extra at this moment and you will see a photo that were were sent of him.

Here is Rocco's new friends. He goes with a dog walker twice a week. 

Here is an update of Teddy at the beach. Boy does he look like his mom Roxie. Roxie is going a darker apricot these days.

Reggie is off on a plane today to go visit family for the holidays. It will be his first trip under the seat on a plane. Hoping it all went well.

That's it. To each and every one of you - thank you truly for loving the dogs like you do. 

Short Update

Rusty practices his rollover. We had someone new here so we were investing our time in making sure she had a good time so no clicks except the after baths shot. 

Clarity also had a bath as she has class tonight. No practice for her oh boy as Nathan has been away. Nothing like practicing in class on the fly. 

That's it for today. 

Quiter Times

Tiny, Ella's brother was over for a bath and play. He is such a cutie.

This was a no grooming day as I had several to do for others and decided what's one day without a brush on mine. heh

Oh I so need a bath and today was supposed to be the day but I got a repreive as my human mom had to do others. This gave me the opportunity to sun bathe. It's been a long winter you know.

Adele says I did get brushed so what is that about? Why did Roxie get a day off?

Really my hair was tied up.

It is a 2 ponytail day. 

That's it. The human here is so tired.

Quiet Times

The dogs had a blast today. Today I had a couple of baths to do. One was Truffie and one was Leti. Tomorrow the schnauzers depart and some of the fun will go. Inula loves their play and so does Riley the wee pup. They will be missed.

Here's just a few photos taken today. 

Really I was bathed. 

I think Riley is getting attached to Nathan. She departs next week but till then she is having fun.

Even the 11 year old Shoshi loves pups. No grumpiness here.

Stop it, Stop it - you are tickling me. I swear that is what Inula was doing.

Bath time for this one. :-) He's been playing non stop here.

It's been a day and a fun one at that. Just when I think its a 'less to do' day it isn't. hahaha

No Time Update

I am a little on overload. I thought with Nathan back it would mean less to do but not today as we had one of Tangles pups going home. They are chocolate pups out of our Tangles that lives with Paula's friend Leigh. If you remember she is a Truffie and Abigail pup - Tangles that is. Here are the chocolate pups. 

Here is also an unedited photo click of today with the dogs. 

Last Show Photo

The winners of the specialty are above. Look at those big fat ribbons that puppy Ella got. Now I need to get some kind of a coat rack that hangs on the wall so I can hang these ribbons. Last year our Muntuno co-owned with Lucia won Best of Winners and Best Puppy. Several years ago Spice won Best of Winners and Best Puppy at the specialty in Richmond Hill. This year Little Ms Ella won the same. You only get these huge ribbons at a Specialty.  Time to take a break and hope for that pool to open. hehe

Will update with photos later from the dogs. They re chillin with Nathan as I type. Panda is in heat and not herself. She is not being bred. Looking forward to 3 weeks from now and no more heats.

Ella's Win

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThis is one of her wins. I can't believe all the ribbons. Got to hang them up they are so pretty. Never had so many from a weekend.

Oops Spoke Too Soon

Ella just got best of wionners and puppy in Toy Specialty. Wow Inula got a Group 3. As Dennis is in bed I have to make the blog short. Hoping I can get back to it after Nathan arrives home but that won't be till 8ish.

Everyone is having fun but haven't clicked a photo. Not sure I will.

My Gad:Update

So far Ms Inula has won 2 group 3s and our very own Ella won Best Puppy and Best of Winners giving her the first official points towards championship. This is huge as she was up against champions and American champions with full coats and much older at just barely 6 months and I heard they cheered Ella. Nice!! Wow can't wait to see the photo and the huge ribbon! Ms Spice won best puppy at a specialty but didn't win Best of Winners. I guess Ella will come home with her head in the air. hahahaha

I was going to post about the dogs but everyone is doing really well. 

Looks like Ella also won Winner's Bitch according to the stats. So she won Best of Winners, Winner's Bitch, Best Puppy. Wow! Even if they get nothing tomorrow, they had a good weekend. Me, I have had an exhausting one but Nathan will be upset as Cody loves me the best now. hahahaha

Busy Day

Inula got 2 group 3s today as there were two shows. It is impossible for Ella to get anything. Glad Inula got wins - unexpected. She deserves it but you never know.

It's been a day. I managed to play my heart out with the dogs, take care of the pups, do laundry, feedings and Dennis just woke up. Tomorrow I am sending him to bed so he can wake up in the afternoon so blogs will be late tomorrow. 

Today I only have a few photos. Truffie's brother Cody is here. He's a love. He just settled in last night and he is great with the schnauzers. He hugs me like Truffie, I am in heaven. I am tired and in 2 hours the bed calls me so I want to eat. The trio is great!!

Pups are all doing wonderful but I have to sit with Spice's pups each feeding. It is paying off as they are now gaining almost an ounce in 24 hours or just below that. I can already see the difference. Jeannie's are all over a pound except one gak - 1st born. 

That's it...

Just a Few

Had a busy day. I had to wash 2 dogs, do feedings, get all the dogs brushed out and so much more that you don't want to know so I only have a few photos to share. This was Ella after her bath.

WE (the dogs and I) managed to have fun but Dennis slept in late. I juggled and still we got it done. To complicate things the moms do not want the schnauzers anywhere near the room where the pups are. I guess that is instinct.

I will tell you though that the 3 have really meshed with my crew. It's nice. This is good for them and for mine. They are eating well, playing fully and sleeping and snuggling. It's a good visit.

That's it for today. Things to do. :-)

Photos of a Dry and Very Wet Day

Yes even when we are busy we play retrieve and running, and hide and seek and silly crazy things. We managed to get a ton in before it started raining and raining.

After getting literally soaked they came in to chill in the tv room and now I am cleaning blankets, feet and all sorts of things. Why can't laundry just do itself especially folding. heh

We have had a thoroughly busy but fun day. 

I also got this in the mail....

Oh Max you are so cute!

Got a busy day tomorrow. Nathan departs. Packing, laundry - it may mean short blogs but I will do my best!

Minimal Update Today

We have 3 visitors here - non havanese that are having a blast with us and ours with them. This will be a short update today. 

Things

Here's a video I received from Rusty's mom. Yes, its upset down depending on what viewer you used but I am not up to researchinh how to flip it. Still, I hope you enjoy.

From Ronnie:

When you have time.

Rusty was first in show during classes for the command “come”.  Here he is again at our house.  Elana has told him to “stay” in the kitchen.  She walks down the hall and then says “come”. 

When you have time in your very busy schedule.

xo

Then we got a photo 

-----

Murphy went home today and we got this photo...

We've been home for 5 minutes and Murphy is covered in burrs.....

-------------

Oh Murphy now what are you up to? We already miss you and Moseby!

-------------

We are not doing an update other than this. I need to play recovery. I had no sleep and will be crashing tonight. I am not sure if I am making sense. I am hoping I make it to 9 or 930. I told Nathan I can't do anymore than that. 

I am hungry. I ate food I think that was overdone (leftovers). I now need to wash 1 more dog to go home. 

So indulge me. 

No Update Today

I had to bathe and groom a lot today. I just now finished. I had dogs that were visiting that had to go home today and then I had to bathe those departing tomorrow just in case Spice gives us some small surprises. I even managed to get Logan and Panda done who was overdue. So its a no photo crazy day. 

Dennis now needs my computer so he can set up the camera in the Spice pen. Oh boy last minute - not fun.
