Visit Time Today

See the gallery on Nami's blog.

With the pups, they have meshed together as one as I said they would. Even when they go home, they will come back for visits and the moms are theirs - the siblings - Hallies or Namis all mesh together as one. It is a wonderful thing that happens when you have 2 litters. 

Moms also help each other. It's a great experience for them. 

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

It's Monday Fun

Here is the gallery.

Due to Thanksgiving residing at the 8 and 9 week visit, we are doing the visit this weekend again. That also allows you to enjoy time with your families, which most of you said was a concern with our schedule.

This also allows me to do all the stuff I must do to get them ready to depart and we have sufficient time to assign your puppy. 

I am sorry about not cluing in to Thanksgiving. We do the holiday too but I was just not in that state of mind. It's been a tad crazy. So, this works out better.

Pups played silly crazy this afternoon. Some conked out after wild play. They did have a ton of fun and I do believe they enjoy the visits from you!

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

Sunday Visit

See the gallery on Nami's blog.

Pups had fun. They played. They lasted as long as they last. Each week they stay awake longer.

We have 1 more visit on Wednesday. 

I do the following to go home:

Tote Bags with the puppy name and photo on it

Stuffed toy 

Bowl

Grooming Spray

Bag of treats and food

Shampoo combo

Luggae tags for their bags you bring with their face, name and pertinent info

Blanket with the face and name on it. 

This is all a lot of work but I like to give them a good start.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

Baths & All That

Here are the Hallie Bath Photos <-- another gallery of the 2 litters playing will be found on the Nami blog after I groom a dog. It is a highly busy day.

Above is the littlest gal of both litters. She is spunky and was literally amazing with her bath. I can have the gamut of I am not happy - let me escape or calm enjoyment. We had calm enjoyment with all the pups in both litters. They had no issues. Some curiousity as to what is this but what great pups!

This is the chocolate gal. She was great and oh my gad that hair! As this bathing experience took me approximately 150 minutes, this crew didn't get their play session in but will after I groom a dog that is scheduled. What a doll she is!

The boy was great. He had the most curiousity about this experience. But really I can't say anything negative about how they embrace this new experience.

They were WONDERFUL and that is an understatement. I am pleased. They are fluffy. They smell great and look great!
