Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 3:22PM The pups had a great time with Jamie and with Stryker and Momma Yoshi. They had a ton of fun multiple times today.
They ran the downstairs hall and I will get them up later.
The pups are having fun.
Two of the pups get baths tomorrow.
Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at 6:04PM The pups played downstairs today for 2 sessions. Dennis will take them up later today.
They really want to hang out with the adults. I guess they are getting of an age where they wonder is it fun going outside but we will wait so you have that snow experience with them. I think that is fair. I don't want to rob you of a first. You should enjoy the experience.
Dennis placed so many toys down in the downstairs hall that it looked like an obstacle course but they didn't mind.

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at 1:31PM We are down to 3 till Sunday. Two will be departing Saturday and the last one will depart on Sunday. It means the last will join us in bed as it wouldn't be fair for him to sit in a crate when no one else has nor to sit in an xpen by himself elsewhere. I hope this doesn't spoil him but it is only 1 night.
The play is different with 3. When we bring Simba, Stryker, Hazel and any others upstairs, they do play more boisterous.
Usually we do not have pups this long so it is a curious thing on how they react when half has departed. I get to see a different side of them. I find it fascinating.
They are smart. I move the treat bag and they come running literally. I think they are treat motivated. LOL
I had them out this morning and Dennis will have them out twice to 3 times more.

Here is the hall play gallery.
We didn't take the pups upstairs as there are just the 3 and we have had a busy day. Nathan is at class so I suspect I will be taking them into the hall after this blog.
They were a riot about the duck treats, which they love so.
With only 3, the play is different. I get that. Winston went home today and Stryker was looking for him. The play just changes. They adapt and enjoy the moment.
It is my day off tomorrow, I think. If a pup goes home, I will figure out another day. We are in flux and so are they and it is not like they live around the corner.
So, we go with the flow.

Sunday, November 30, 2025 at 4:50PM We are now down to 3. The pups are sleeping now. I hope the pup slept for the long ride home.
It was fun to watch all the pups playing with the family. They were missing the youngest as she was not feeling well.
They took a photo with Yoshi and she was pleased to be asked.
Gallery of the play during the pre-departure.
The pups will go up a bit later with Dennis so no videos or photos but I think I have that covered with the galleries today.
Gallery of the play before departure.
It will be interesting to see if the dynamics change.

Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 10:54AM Oh my he was a dream boy for his bath. He was a class act. He may be a swimmer yet!
He has big pads so I am not sure he is going to be on the tiny size. I think he may be stocky and substantial but not oversized. He is such a sweet boy. I so enjoyed giving him a bath and he was so good, I was able to take the photos of the bath and table by myself. He cooperated that much!
The pups had quieter play with only 4 after the bath. They had their moments of boisterous play but it was fleeting.
They played. They had duck treats which they ADORE and they had a ton of fun. One even went into the tunnel so he could eat without someone trying to get his. Mommy Yoshi even corrected one and she tells them she means business but not in a bad way. She so loves them!

Here is the gallery before Eevee departed.
Another has departed and has a long drive home to 30cm of snow - ouch. They will experience her 1st snow. I hope they take video. We are going to miss her!! Too far away to see her. Maybe if they ever visit Toronto...
I will get the videos up shortly from both families.

Here is the gallery before depature.
He refused to look up as he was raring to go have some fun with the siblings. We so tried - well Nathan did as he takes these photos.
They were so full of it this morning. They are now fast asleep and I suspect they will be for a bit.
The pups and hopefully the family enjoyed the 6.
Eevee departs this afternoon and we will be down to 6. Miss him already. He is such a senational puppy!
Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 4:52PM This is Petey. He had his bath 1st and he is the very 1st to depart. He was amazing with his bath. I put Petey's and Eevee's in the same gallery as you can see who is whom.
Although I am highly busy, they made the experience a wonderful one.
Petey also started a game today that I caught on video called the 'keep away' game. He is good at it.
This is Eevie. She is the 2nd pup to go home tomorrow. She was also amazing with the bath. I needed that today and they made me smile.
This is Pippin who will be Eevee's pal. Pippin was a wild one when Nathan was attempting to hold them so I could click. Eevee just looked as if to say WHAT! They did interact a bit but no full out play but we will try again later.
Here is the gallery of the play on both play sessions.
By tomorrow night we will be down to 4 pups. These two will be madly missed!
The pups had a ton of fun. I need to get stuff done so I can get them out just before bed.
Nathan has picked up the last purchases for the bags so I need to distribute them to the bags. Dennis is off so Nathan will be entertaining the dogs and I will be getting things done.

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 at 1:58PM If I get the pups up too late other than their usual 1030am (got them up at 1230pm) they are wired for sound. They are mischevious. If I get them up at 1030amish, they are not. It is something to be noted.
They tried to go after the pad and my ankles today but I was having none of it. After they expelled energy, they quiet played. I tell you this to let you know that all pups need to expel their energy even if you do the chase game with them.
Tomorrow Petey pictured above and Eevee will get their baths, nails, pads done before departure. I also have to get others to groom plus Momma Yoshi may be today. I am trying to fit her in.
They are not eating 3 meals a day - more like almost 2 and I say almost. They are gaining. This happens with smaller pups so do not fret if they do the same in your home. It is normal and small means less food required.
I have finally finished the bags today other than food and shampoo and grooming spray that will be placed in bags after Nathan picks them up tomorrow. Why last minute? That is when the food and deliveries come to Global so it is what it is. Would I like to be 100% done? YES!
Tomorrow is Dennis day off and Nathan is off to the vets for Stryker for his 3rd shot then off to Global and Stryker will go back 2 weeks later for rabies.
I did manage to get the videos uploaded today - a miracle.
I went to bed at 11pm in order to get the bags done and finished one ornament this morning and emptied all the bags to make sure everything was in them other than shampoo, grooming spray and their 5lb bag of food. I have lists every which way and if I miss something, Nathan says in front of guests - but you forgot this. I warn you as I think he likes to tweak me. Think next time I should get him to do it. I am so laughing.
Dennis will take the pups up the last 2 times so I can exercise, do laundry and clean. My office looks like a war zone and always does when I create things.
I will be sad to see the pups go. I never go to the door as I say my goodbyes ahead of time before you arrive. But I am happy you are getting these magnificent beings and they are. They are what brightens every single day of my life and on a positive note, on the 7th I may stay in bed all day as the last 2 depart on the 6th.
