No Gallery Today

Milo seems to be such a great balanced boy. He uses the pad or outside. He plays with everyone. Roxie is still enjoying him immensely. On Wednesday his brother Tchibo arrives. Now that will be fun seeing their reunion.

Picnic Day

We thought maybe Tuesday was coming so we brought Milo. He was a big hit. He was socializing with every human and dog. He is mighty tuckerered out and we just got home. 

See the gallery when done in the All About Our Dogs blog. It will be up tonight. Lots of photos that I am extracting from my memory stick.

Milo Visiting

Milo is here for the week and Tchibo comes next week for a few days while Milo is still here. It's going to be a brothers get together for a few days.

Here is the gallery of Milo after he arrived.

Momma Roxie was and still remains over the moon happy to see him but guess who else was thoroughly delighted - Raven. Even Stormy was excited but Raven oh my gad she was as excited as Roxie. He is such a fun and happy boy. We are going to have fun with him.

Here is a photo of Tchibo who will be joining us next week. It's going to be fun - well it is already!

Unfortunately it is raining yet again. So no outside for the moment.

A Rheo Update

Hi Darlah and Nathan,

We have had an amazing first week with Rheo. He is doing great and playing with the big dogs and he is going outside for his duties, he is beginning to walk on a leash, he is sleeping through the night, and has since the first night, and now he is getting very bold and jumping on the big dogs to play. He has met many new people and everyone is in love with him!

He does like to use his teeth, so we are working on being gentle with his mouth. He loves to explore so I have to watch him carefully and will need to be in his puppy pen so we can relax and keep him from eating the wood mulch and leaves.

He loves to run like h in the yard and I swear he is smiling meanwhile! He is very athletic and runs and jumps into the kiddie pool that is as tall as he is.

I will be starting some impulse control training today with his lunch. He learns quickly, so should be fun.

We love him to bits❤️

Tchibo's New Family: 2 Updates Today

Roxie stayed with this little one while he waited for his family. She was a little stressed when his family was here but she cleaned him all up and played recovery by going for a swim. You will see in the gallery in the adult blog later today. You will see in the gallery how Roxie was attentive and cleaned his ears etc. Ines also got to play with him. 

Roxie will be okay. She has Ella and she has swimming. We have to take the puppy area down as that is closure for her as well. We will try to do that by bedtime. I have dogs to wash and groom.

To say we will miss this crew is an understatement. They have been wonderful truly. Even by himself Tchibo did not whimper. He just laid down and watched to see what was going on. He is ready for his journey.

Be sure to check out the videos.

In the galleries you will see a number of adults including visitors.

Here is his family gallery.

Tuesday's New Family: 2 Updates Today

Tuesday just departed and now we await Tchibo's new family. Roxie is laying in with Tchibo.

Here is a gallery of Tuesday's new family. A few came out blurry. Sorry. Not sure what happened.

The duo played up a storm before he departed.

Here is a gallery of Marco, Pippin, Mabel, Velvet, Tuesday, Tchibo and Tuesday's family plus just Tuesday's family and Tchibo and Tuesday. They had a play session before Tuesday's family arrived. So I combined the gallery.

They have had a full morning. We miss him already - and to be honest we miss all of them. This afternoon we will be minus pups.

Tchibo's Bath: 3 Updates Today

How was Tchibo in the bath? He was amazing. His tail was up. Loved the bath. Loved the blowers. Not crazy about being hung up for photos but he wasn't bad.

He's outside playing with Tuesday, the adults and Dennis as I type. He leaves at 130 tomorrow. Sort of wish he was going home closer to the time Tuesday was going home so he wasn't alone but I will have him busy and hanging out with mom. 

Here is his bath gallery.

Tuesday's Bath: 3 Updates Today

How did Tuesday do? Great in bath with tail up as well. Not crazy over blower though I snuggled and massaged him and he relaxed. He loves his head massaged. They are outdoors playing with the adults now. I can't believe there are only 2 and tomorrow none. 

We will clean up the deck and set it up as a non puppy deck for at least a couple of months. 

This one departs tomorrow at 10am. 

Here is his bath gallery.
