What is The Week Like

DateMonday, November 2, 2026 at 4:25PM

Here is the gallery. Videos are already up.

I am almost finished with the bags. I will most likely be finished by Wednesday night. Wednesday night Benny will get his bath, his nails done, cleanup around eyes  and pads done and shaped. Thursday Benny departs. Then the rest will get baths the night before and depart the next day. Lots of changes. Come Sunday night, it will be quiet and the xpen will need to come down and maybe the printers stay in the hall till Tuesday as Monday is my day off. It has been awhile. It is not really a day off as I still do stuff but no cleaning pads, doing laundry, dishes, floors etc. I learned long ago, if I don't go out, I get asked to do this or that. LOL Maybe this time I will say - no - my day off. We shall see. 

It is going to be exciting to bring your dog home. It will be fun. It will be responsibility but that puppy is going to fall madly in love with you and that feels better than anything. Ou of everyone, I probably spend the most time with the pups. Dennis gets to stay up all night early on to see to their needs and to mom. Nathan waits till they are walking to start his moments with them. Me, I am there from morning till night taking photos, videos, blogs and freeting even when there is no need to fret. I just do.

These pups have been easy. They started sleeping through the night after going upstairs on the 2nd night. I know it sounds like I am just saying this but I don't do that. These pups don't scream. They eat well, they sleep well. No bowel issues. No soreness after shots and microchips. They just embrace the day without fretting. Rain was exactly like that from birth so it makes sense her pups are the same. She is a loving chill dog. She doesn't ask for much. She just wants to be with you and she loves deeply. Only thing she asks for is duck treats - which she adores. 

Lots of changes this week for you and for us and for Rain. Lots of 1sts you will experience. Outdoors, rain, snow, leaves, people etc those are memories I hold dear and you will have them. How nice is that?

Here are the videos. Be sure to check out the short videos and the longer ones. There are 2 links but that is how YouTube sets it up.
