Brrrr I's Cold Out There

Today was a wind down day though we had a visit from Coach and Sassy we couldn't go out too long as it is colder than bleep outside.

So we tried to visit inside.

I managed to ice pick the ice under the gate to get it to close properly before the dawgs could go out and its a no walk day as its simply not safe out there.

Where is Nathan whem I need him - Darlah with a pick ax is dangerous.

Our visitors had their paws up immediately and I felt like lifting mine.

Off to snuggle them and head to bed early as we have a vet visit tomorrow.

Daddy Talk

 Nathan has conversations with the dogs but when they are pregnant, he has these long conversations asking how they feel and playing with them to get them to relax. Their state of mind is important to us.

I do the massages and grooming and snuggles - he does the playing, conversations and snuggling. It all counts.

I can't believe she is due in a little over a week. How did the time fly?

I always yearn for spring but spring is when pups go home so this time let me yearn for living in the moment and treasuring it!

Shall We Dance

Have you ever wondered what they are doing in this stance?

It is simply an action of advantage and Spice is learning this well.

Spice is independent like her mom and they seem to be two peas in a pod. They still play all day and at night Spice crawls up next to her canine mom in bed and settles in. We keep hoping she will settle in next to our head but the attraction of mom is too great.

That doesn't stop her from walking all over our bodies, jumping as if we are trampolines meant to be pounced on till we go woah! We love the enthusiasm and she seems to get this at bed time in spades but just like your dad little Spice you aren't going to attempt to walk up our bodies.

But on the positive front she is hitting the pad always or outside. She doesn't hit the bell except to say outside yet again. But we are working on it. She's been to PetSmart twice cause it's a close exposure. Her class has been delayed a week due to snow but guess who is joining us in class - Frannie. Now how fun is that?

PS: I can groom Wasabi and Spice and 2 minutes later they look like the cat dragged them through the brush. Okay something dragged them. This will make showing a challenge.

Whatr's This White Stuff?

The snow keeps coming and that human keeps shovelling these things she calls paths so we can run like banshees all over the place having a roaring grand time.

Yep, it's a lot of work especially when the white stuff keeps coming but it's also an amazing amount of fun.

I like to stay out and started playing the 'come chase me' game but those humans won't play.

Maybe they are smarter than I give them credit for.

Hiding Strategies

Digging for treasures. I know what's under there - a hacky sack or a treasured toy or...

Yes, they take them outside, bury them like the sqirrels all to dig them back up again.

Well, we are trashed. Off to bed rather early tonight. Our son has the night shift with Treasure and he will sleep all day - what a life.

I am glad we have him to help out so I can feel normal.

Spice and the Shoshi spent serious time treasure hunting today all in time for a huge storm coming or so they say.

Shaved Tummies

Did you know you can shave your Havanese's tummy to eliminate those tangles and mats?

If you have a neck warmer hanging around and you want to keep the belly warm. just place it over the midsection. It's cheap. It works and it looks cute.

You can also clip the hair in the arm pits.

The hair even with all this shaving and clipping can still appear long but reduce most of the work through the blowing coat stage that they only go through once.

A Little Crazy Dawg Play

Jay dropped in to have a good play with the crew. It was a riot to watch as you will see if you check out today's photos on Talemaker Puppy Life.

Even Spice got into the mix cause she thinks she is one of the bigger ones these days. It happens fast.

I am really looking forward to hearing about Red's reunion with his human siblings. They have been away and I hear a huge reunion is in store tonight so do fill us in. I want to see photos.

I miss the Red but hey I miss them all - the big suck that I am.

I just love action photos of the dawgs. They always give you something to snap - don't you think?

Baths, Going Home & Play * ^&%$

Little by little I am getting my dawgs washed but today I got Ripley done as he was going home and Penny who is staying for a bit but I wanted to take a 4 generations photo while Fiona's mom was still here. She leaves tonight.

I intended on doing one more but I got side-tracked.

Shanty goes in to get her teeth done tomorrow. So, it's just me and the dawgs. Daisy is visiting us again and Ripley left us. <sniff>

Charlie and Kitzie came to visit us and I had video of that visit and Ripley playing up a storm and the bleepin fingers of mine pushed format vs. finalize. I could shoot myself. It's called *&^% happens. I have yet to tell Nathan but he will find out reading this. oy as it was his video. It was one of those things that you do and you go - oh no, how could I have done THAT!

But we did get photos of today so I am hoping you enjoy those on the boarders and visitors photo page.

I guess I am tired. What's new?
