Our little cutie making friends with the cat haha.  We don’t have cats so it’s the one thing the babies are not familiar with haha.  It really doesn’t matter, the cat is who decides if they will be friends😍 I haven’t seen Puck/Manny but talk to his new dad often, he is so happy with his baby ( who is the smartest puppy on earth) ticks seem to be bad this year so he is searching for a natural remedy that works ( so far none have) we will keep experimenting in an effort to avoid chemicals that weaken the immune system. If you know of something please share😀

Well that adorable little Artie has settled in.  What a fun boy, always SO HAPPY! It sure is quiet here without them.  Harlee and I spend a lot of time remembering them and discussing our next babies and themes! Fall will be here before we know it!!

Hahaha what a good helper, but they may not think so in another 60 lbs haha.  I love seeing such happy babies! I don’t know how ” breeders” (not us we’re enthusiasts) can NOT CARE what happens to their babies! I know a breeder who hoped she got them back so she could sell them twice!😡 in 26 years I have gotten four back ( divorce, move to big city, sucicide and death to cancer) we pride ourselves on picking the RIGHT people 😉 I owe it to our moms to see that the babies they entrust to me get a wonderful loved life😘 a task we take very seriously😍

Agh another birthday.  Sweet Reggie is nine today.  What a good boy he is and he had just the sweetest babies😍 I love seeing him at the reunions, he’s a happy loved boy!

Cooled down here so we haven’t been swimming but have stayed longer at the park playing ball.

It takes us awhile to adjust to not having babies, frees up more time than you would expect.  We go over and work on our smaller home every day and finally Parris will go lay down and not stand by the door to leave or refuse to get out of the poo haul😳 when we do move they will be comfortable there.

About 15 years ago I found these cement poodles , I was SO HAPPY when I found the first one and beyond thrilled when I found the second!! I had one on each side of the dock and since they were 90 lbs each I didn’t bring them in for the winter.  While weed whacking I noticed one had damage to her front legs and set out to find something that could restore her to new.  I needed something strong I could shape and Tom (men *sigh* every task is monumental) said there wasn’t a cement product that would do what I needed done.  But I found a crack calk that worked! She’s not perfect but close enough! I’m not putting them back out in the weather, for now they will be on the front porch ( covered) of the new house.  I’d love to get more of these for the park but so far haven’t found any, even stopping at places that sell cement stuff and showing them pictures. Someday maybe I’ll get lucky😀😍 I love them!!

Dottie felt like riding today so Harlee fetched the balls Grace didn’t see😳 with her poodle side kick.  We took the back off the seat so the dogs would have more room haha.  Another 80 degree day! We work a few hours at the new house then come home to play.  We are sleeping at the park tonight with tired dogs😀 we will be working on our sequin Christmas poodles.  They will be available later in the POOTIQUE😊

The dogs have SO MUCH FUN in the water! They could play all day! It really is their favorite thing to do.  The lake has a huge fire works display (20k) bigger than a lot of towns.  I put the dogs in my bedroom with the air on and TV loud and they don’t seem to be bothered by the noise.  Poor Reba hated it, so I usually stayed home to comfort her😭 tomorrow night Harlee and I are spending the night at the park!! Life is good!

This pin wheel looks fun🇺🇸

Ava sure loves her puppy! And don’t they look adorable!! It warms our heart to see our babies so happy! We are getting fabulous reports on everyone.  All are adjusting to their new lives with ease! Potty trained and eager to please!! Harlee is back for a week and can’t stop talking about her SURPRISE kittens.  Four baby girls.  I hope her dad lets her keep one (she has no pets at his house) they will be well handled😀and the mother is very sweet😍 I’ve never had cats and always wanted them but Tom is not a cat lover and seems to think 6-10 dogs (6 now, 10 for years) is enough.  Men can be SO UNREASONABLE😁

Sue/Maggie went home with FRANCIS CLAIRE’S ( aka GATERPOO)

litter mate York ( Parris and Ruben baby ten years old) he likes his new baby and tries to play with her.  He has been so lonely since his companion poodle died a few months ago (she was there when he came as a baby) such a sweet boy.  It’s so quiet here without Harlee and the pups😕

Poor Nicki, seven teeth pulled

Poor Nicki, late last week she refused to eat her usual food ( raw) but when I offered her canned food she ate it, which led me to believe she had teeth trouble.  Since she’s 11 I decided to get her teeth cleaned as a precaution.  Good thing I did, she had seven loose teeth😳 which the vet removed.  They were not infected but clearly bothering her.  I’m so glad I didn’t wait, poor old lady.  She’s feeling much better, was even teasing Grace with her beloved hedgehog😀

Happy 8th BIRTHDAY TO NICOLE AND JACK’s PATRIOTIC LITTER 2007🇺🇸Liberty/Winny, Stars/Sequoia, Stripes/Astro, Ellis/Henri, Spangle/Obe, Sam and Sparkle/Sparky❤️❤️❤️ ADORABLE BABIES!!
