Kevin's Last Bath Before Departure

Here is the gallery.

He is the 2nd to depart tomorrow. 

He didn't care what I did. Oh, we are doing this again? Okay, I got this!

I love his hair when it gets poofy right out of the blow dry. He calmed me down and all was right and on time for Darcy too despite fitting in a dog to groom that wasn't supposed to come. LOL

Bowie's Last Bath

Here is the gallery.

He was a real character in and during the blow dry. He made me laugh. We had lost the microchip reader so we were going a but crazy. It was of course my fault but funny it was found under Nathan's keyboard. I so laugh. When you are under stress oh boy!

So, the point was he probably felt my stress but he was more than fine - Mr. Laidback.

This boy will be the 3rd to depart tomorrow - yes 3 are departing tomorrow have 2 days of 1.

Tuppy's New Family and Play Before Departure

Here is the gallery from the play before departure and the new family photos.

I have to tell you thank you for the food. I am sure you saw how overextended we appeared to be and you would be right. First departure lasted longer than usual. I quickly bathed Pippa between visits and then I had 2 dogs departing early that I just finished before blogs and then I have to get completely ready for the 2 Nami pups departing tomorrow. LOL

It looked like both families enjoyed the pups and I so hope things are going well. The pups are starting to notice - me too. All is good. We have some really great puppy families.

Videos coming tonight. Just not now.
