The snow...



Just a quick shot for those who asked how much we had... Not much really...

Info

Videos - Having trouble posting videos lately - not sure what is causing it, but when I get it figured out, I'll let you know...

Blog - Postings may be a bit slower for the next while, as I start taking pups for car rides to get them conditioned - some are travelling a long way again... The plus side to all the loading and unloading (groan!) for the travelling, is that the pen and yard will not need as much cleaning - maybe less laundry?? ha ha

Update - the pups are going for their eight week checkup/needles this Thursday, so Friday will be a quiet home day. Should be able to catch up on a few postings then~ You are currently up to date till the 25th Feb.

More of the girls~


Tobi was really smitten with Tammy's youngest...

Ha ha.. they sure love to curl up and get cuddled... Sushi, Nina and Kallie


So adorable...


This sad little girl had just been told she could not keep any puppies... They were just here to help me socialize them to children.


Oh! I don't know if I could have stayed strong against all those sad eyes... Poor Tammy! But, I sure appreciate the help~ Hugs! Kallie and Sushi

Tammy and her girls visit...


My friend Tammy stopped over, with her girls for a great visit, the night of the snow...

Her beautiful twin girls...


and her adorable youngest... Tobi was totally taken by her dangling hair...


Teddy and Gemma were sleeping, but woke pretty quickly


The girls are so flexible... and sat on the floor to play with them, so they got crawled all over~

Ottawa's Snow Storm...


The pups quite enjoyed the snow at first...

New and interesting smells and tastes and sights...



Lhasas generally all love to play in the snow~


They spent more time outdoors than inside that day...

I just love this little shot of Dharma "disocovering" herself in the mirror...

Dharma and Ziggy playing - Nina to right, with Gemma


Sushi discovered Odie...


The toilet training is coming along well... They know to go to the door, but with eight pups, I would feel like a doorman, so I just leave it open enough for them to get in and out. This training is much easier in the summer - with the doggy door... Good thing I like a cool home!


It was snowing out, so tehy come in a little damp looking... ha ha Poor Kallie looked cold, so I found a towel and towelled them all down~

Anna and Marie Visit


Anna and Marie were pretty taken by the pups... Yes, they really are that amusing to watch in person - there is always at least one of them doing something cute~



Marie just could not resist picking up Sushi...


Oh! Which should I pick up next?? lol


Yeah - you! Gemma won a cuddle!

Dharma was busy nibbling a toe!

Conditioning to Sounds...


I have this really handy CD (two actually) of sounds that I like to play in the background and let the puppies get used to. There are sounds such as a siren going by, airport noises, coffee grinder, thunder, dog barking, children playing, horse sounds etc. It is never possible to condition the dogs to "everything", since I never know if they will live in an apartment (city sounds, trucks, buses etc) or on a farm... (animals) so this really helps me...

The pups do their own share of making noises too - lots of noisy baby toys, cat toys (motion sensitive) and even play the piano! lol


Some days these guys could sleep through anything!

Amber and Pups at play~


Teddy

Kallie and one of the Golden Girls join in...


Gemma and another Golden Girl...


Such fun!


Come on Mom - tackle us all!!

Gemma and Teddy hard at play~

Still enjoying the love!

Teddy, Gemma and Kallie flaked out~


Such cute little faces~

Tammy and Rob come for a visit

Tammy and Rob bought their dog, Colby from me a while back now... but they, like most people, really enjoy puppies too... and I have plenty enough to share! They brought dinner - bonus! and we all enjoyed playing and cuddling with the puppies~

An armful of love... (Nina)

Now add Gemma! Tobi and Kallie were trying to get into the act as well...


Sharing the love around~


Momma has to come investigate, of course...


Nina manages to find her way into everyone's arms!


Hmmm - Tobi too! lol

Tuckered Right out!








When they came in from playing, they all crawled onto the pee pad holder and went fast to sleep... Good thing it was a clean pad!
