Insight

Here is the gallery.

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.

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