The puppies left yesterday for their training at the prisons and it was very bittersweet.  I haven't blogged in a long time because I have been so busy but I want to get this out while it is still fresh in my mind.  I feel like the luckiest person to have been able to spend the first twelve weeks of the puppies lives with them!  I have learned so much about caring for them and helping shape their persona ...

This is another new puppy named WYATT II because we all know the famous WYATT! We have a new English Cream Golden Retriever puppy joining our family, his name is WYATT!

This Saturday I worked with Monty's Home doing a "meet and greet" for the dogs that we still have up for adoption that just graduated on May 31st.  I was so excited once I finally found the new store and it is an awesome store.  I was super excited because Ginger remembered me and gave me so many loving kisses!  They are all so full of love!  It is really great being able to be involved with the dogs du ...

Barb asked me to pick up GINGER from the Wilmington Dog Club and bring her to Southpo ...
