🐶 Puppy breath. There's just nothing better! My virtual assistant's family has a litter of Bernedoodle puppies (Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle) that will be ready to go home in 2 weeks. These are some of the prettiest puppies I've ever seen (besides, Mando, of course!) They are low shedding, great with kids, and many of them have gone on to be emotional support animals or service animals. The theme for this year's litter is the television show Friends in honour of Matthew Perry. I cannot tell you how the memories of that show flooded back as we talked about the characters and the jokes! These are responsible and ethical breeders. If you are interested in one of these sweeties you can reach Sapphire Doodle Farm here for more information.
Finally finished my video about our Fire & Ice Cruise. Funny how you can get yourself in a twist. I have made over 400 videos on my channel and some weeks I just forget that I know how to make them. In the end I had to focus just on a scene at time and step by step, frame by frame it was finished. Now I am back in the saddle and looking forward to making the next one
