Behind the Scenes

This week is dedicated to cleaning the dog area. Our main floor where the dogs live with me, is cleaned as a regular home is. The dogs also have a large, finished room in the basement aptly called "the dog room." It is getting TLC right now. We've washed walls, shampooed the carpet, and now we're scrubbing the crates inside and out.

They use their crates to eat, and as their hangout when I am unable to supervise but can't leave them in the yard.

Spring, Summer and Fall we deep clean everything, reorganize, repair, replace and revamp.

There is a lot of unglamorous grunt work that goes into caring for animals en masse. I attempt to show you a glimpse from time to time.

We've named the pups

Geoff, Brigitte and I have named the puppies together. We are her three co-owners.

The Afternoon Tea litter was born on Friday April 15 to Daintree's Put a Spell on You and Tollchester's Up to no Good. This litter is comprised of five males and one female. Chip is for the little teacup in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Shortcake is for the dessert. Rose is after Red Rose tea. Earl Grey is after the tea blend. Teapot is our little teapot and Branston is a type of pickle served with cheese in a finger sandwich. We name the puppies out of love as a way to tell them apart and give them individual identities. The new families will be free to change their names to whatever they like.
