Hey! Puppy group!

Make it a great three-day weekend.   ;-)

 

They pledge allegiance...

...to the flag...

Helene takes her job as a puppy sitter very seriously.  It seems she's taught babysittee Anja and pet Sadie a new trick!   ;-)

 

Two more leave for college

With seven of our pups starting their professional training in the early months of 2018, we're a little weary of goodbyes.  (Fear not, we'll be deluged with hellos soon.)

Rosie arrived ready to impress.

 

 

 

Last cuddles with brother Buddy.

 

 

Her moment!

Mastro is bright eyed and bushy tailed as he arrives on campus!

 

Making new friends already.

 

 

Waiting to be called.

 

 

An emotional walk.

 

 

Much to our delight, Meghan's dad, Keith, was our Graduate speaker.

 

 

As always, emotions were high and much of the morning was a blur.  Two more great pups, well prepared by their raisers, now begin the journey toward their final placements.  We can't know what they might choose to do, and we can't really influence that choice.  We love, we nurture, and we let them soar.

 

Go with God, Mastro and Rosie.  We will follow your reports eagerly.

 

Let the Tampa puppy infux begin!

Looking forward to meeting her puppy group soon!

 

 

 

Rain, rain, go away

Despite a week of rain percentages in the 50-60% range, we were able to keep our date with the ocean.  A favorite activity for many raisers (and pups), our kayaking experience is one to remember.  Please enjoy.
