Home Free!

For those of you who've followed this litter, you'll be happy to know that "Stowe" has a home. Barbara, who lives near Binghamton, NY, took her home this past week. Stowe is now "Jenny" and will be romping with six house cats, as well as Barbara's husband.

Now that we're down to one, it's fun to finally enjoy OUR puppy. Sedona, as we've named her, has rapidly integrated into the pack. She's much mellower now that she's not competing with other litter mates for attention and food. It makes us think of the other puppies, and we wonder how alike (or different) their experiences have been since going to their new homes three weeks ago. My how time flies!

It's a bit of a challenge feeding four dogs! However, Sedona has quickly learned to sit and stay while we put her food in front of her. She still has a tendency to leave her (still filled) bowl to try and grab from the others, but with a quick redirect from us she is learning to stay and finish her own portion before heading over to another's. And besides, she's usually met with a growl warning from the neighbors, who have no problem reminding her of the pecking order.

We're anticipating another litter in the Fall, this time from our black lab, Mingus. Inquiries are welcome. We have started a waiting list... contact us if you know of someone who has an interest.
