We Are Fun

Here is the gallery.

It is cool outside but it is so invigorating - well the pups think so. It looks like it is going to rain but it has not yet.

Tomorrow our vet comes in the afternoon and you will see photos from the visit. She doesn't like videos so the photos will have to do. Usually we are told no with taking photos when we use someone else when she is not available so I take what I can get. As we have a forecast of 70% we are probably doing it in our house. 

So much to do after this visit and 1st puppy goes home in a few days, Yikes

Videos are coming soon.

Rainy Day

Here is the puppy gallery.

Due to the rain all play has been upstairs today. As a matter of fact that is where they are now with Dennis. 

They so enjoy the upstairs too. Any place they can run, jump and have an adventure is alright with them.

Videos are up.

Playing Just Us

Here is the gallery.

The Tempie pups are not part of the 8 week 3 crew visit so they go out between visits. This is after the morning 3 crew visit. They were sure full of it as they were late coming out. Now they are napping as I type. So are the 3 crew. 

It is cool outside but not too bad. It is enough that they are invigorated. 

Videos will be found here.

No Visit For Us

Here is the gallery.

It's been a cool wild day with wind blowing. Socks r equired and well I almost felt like I should but jackets on. 

This crew will not be having puppy visits tomorrow so they will come out between the visits and after the visits. Tonight I think we are heading upstairs and staying a bit warm. That is okay as they will be able to play with just the siblings. Every now and then that is a wonderful experience.

Videos are coming soon.

Fall Day Cold

Here is the gallery.

We like running like the wind. As it is cold outside, it invigorated us. We run and play and run and play. We can do stairs running up and down at an unbelievable speed. Life is a glorious amount of fun for us. We think we are capable of anything. LOL

Videos coming soon.

Have You Watched?

Here is the gallery.

Have you watched Tempie pups come out of the bag ever so gently - quiet as a mouse? Surely I joke. I so do! They sure get excited! They know how to have fun - for sure!

Check out the videos.

Play and Run

Here is the gallery.

Tempie pups seem to be the 1st out of teh gate - so to speak. Meaning they come out 1st. I do not bring them out. It is either nathan or Dennis. I just stay with them after they bring them out. 

Now that they have had the 2 deck experience, they seem to only want the 2 deck experience. Am I spoiling them?

Videos are coming. Some are up already.

1 or 2

Here is the gallery.

Really only 1 deck? hmmm that is no fun. We are getting bigger and love the run. Can you blame us? But Dennis was sleeping and I set up 1 area. They had fun. They get so excited to go out and then they want to come in - eat, sleep and start again. They do sleep for a couple of hours unless you take out the sherpa bag and suddenly they are all awake. Funny how that happens. In their sleep they hear it. 

This crew is doing stairs with ease.

Videos are partially up. Got more to upload.

2 Deck Play 

Here is the hall and 2 level deck play.

Pups had a new experience. They had stairs and a ramp and all sorts of new things to contend with. They even had a table from our top deck that they can fit on the bottom level and have a bit of fun. They really really enjoyed it today. 

As I had a very busy grooming schedule today, Dennis was going to do it. But I had no photos - no videos and I said NO. He took them in the hall while I was grooming and when I finished, I was able to take photos and videos of this 1st experience. I can't believe he didn't know that I have to see this 1st. 

Tempie pups being 2 weeks older went up and down the stairs with ease. They had a blast!

Videos are up.

8 Week Visit

Here is the gallery of the visit. I will post another one on Spirit's blog of the 3 crew.

The pups are 10 weeks old on September 29th so this is the earliest date they can go home. 

I believe they had a good visit. We did take out the smallest lil gal of Ella's and it looked like the couple at the end was smitten. Maybe they want an Ella pup instead. :-) 

Due to this visit, the 3 crew came out after the departure and got to play with just themselves.

Not to worry - Tempie's crew had lots of playing. They just needed to rest after the visit.

Sage was also out as she was in heat. She relished the visit too.

Videos are going up shortly. I am late on everything today as I also had a ton of grooming. Tomorrow is similar.
