Countdown Begins

Here is the gallery.

I was planning on walking every puppy in the Cinnamon crew outside in our arms but it didn't happen. We kept getting spitting rain each time they woke up. We will try another day although it is getting cold tomorrow. 

Today is the last day Petey will be here so less play monkeys to play with the Cinnamon crew.

I have started making stuff for the pups departing. It takes a lot of time but I got the sherpa tags done. I am going to start on the placemats. I still do not have the pertinent info from one. <sigh>

I am not going to Rain's class tonight as I want to get things done. After all the items are made, I have to  fill all the bags and do the paper stuff. I sound like such a nag - sorry but to crunch at the end just before creates mistakes and takes away from the pups so doing it as time allows is required. As I do things, I do all of one item and all of the next item. It is faster that way but if I am doing 1 bag with all the items at once, it takes much longer. It is hard to explain but I have done it both ways and not doing 1 item x7 is easier than doing 1 item for 6 and then 1 coomplete bag. So, I am hoping I get the info today or tomorrow. My time is so limited that I try to not make extra work for myself.

If you haven't figured it out, I do the most with the pups - Dennis too and Nathan does the most with the adults - Dennis too. Does that make sense? I also grom so I have to fit everything in.

Today, while playing with the pups, I caught myself watching the pups sleep before we go downstairs. I wanted to create a memory. We usually take them down when 1 or 2 falls asleep. This time I waited till all fell asleep and just watched. It was a silly but enjoyable memory I created and life are special memories. It doesn't matter how many pups you have experienced, all are different and unique. You appreciate the uniqueness and you applaud the achievements. You will do this when they are in your home. Make time to guide, love and applaud the milestones. You can't capture what you don't create and moments are lost. 

So, I hope you treasure these pups as they will give you back 10 fold. I know it sounds silly but they are truly magical beings. We only have 10 days till we are down to 5. All pups now will be departed by the 18th. The extra 2 days for the last would have been hard on the pup. It would have been hard on Cinnamon so I am glad that came together. Me, I would keep them forever but t hat is not feasible... a wonderful fun thought but hardly realistic. 

With all that said, I hope we get to see some of this crew. We have been blessed to see Nami and Sage pups and the moms get so excited. I am glad. 

Pups had fun. Dennis is feeding supper and I have videos to upload, 2 dogs getting picked up and more things to make. 

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.

Hi Darlah- I know you didn’t get a chance to load yesterday videos. When you load todays, maybe you could add yesterday’s as well? I know that’s probably twice as much work, so if time permits?

Strange - I did upload them and deleted. Oh boy. I never miss a day but will see if they went private and if so will push them to public. If not, hmm going to be interesting trying to undelete and retrieve. We shall see what we can do. All I can do is try.

There was a glitch on Youtube so all uploads yesterday were truncated and not pushed out. Soi, I had to figure out how to recover deleted videos and they are now up now. Thanks for letting me know. I would have never noticed. I didn't have time for this - truly didn't but they are up and titles suck but they do say yesterday.
