Goodby Puppies

Well, we have all the puppies adopted now, exept the one that David insists is his. He fell for the cute little fawn-colored female, and has been 'keeping' her for my Mom. Luckily for him, when Mom came up Friday and spent time with the puppies, she decided that 'Bruiser', the biggest, stoutest of the bunch, really needed to be hers, even though she thought she wanted a female and he's all boy. She took 3 pups home, two for her and one for a friend.

A couple came by Saturday evening, looking for a female also, but one look at the long-haired puppy of the group and that all changed. "Fluffy" went bounding up to them, and the husband was a goner, when I came out he was cuddling that pup, and never let him down. He was a good choice, because they have two little boys, and Fluffy is energetic but very loving. He will play with you, then flop down right next to your feet and lay there quietly, he's just so cute!

Some friends of ours decided to take two puppies home, a male and female. They picked one of the Lab-looking males, with white back paws. He is very aggressive, and they want a watch dog, but also want another one to keep him company. The female has a blaze down her face, and is energetic but not as aggressive. The two of them are very compatible, and already hang out together a lot, even with all the other puppies around.

If asked, I'll deny it, but the truth is I'm a little sad to see them go. They mobbed me every time I walked out the door, jumped all over me and followed me everywhere. I stopped going out the back door when they were in the back, and was reluctant to venture into the front yard while they've been there, but come on, they are so cute! We still have 3, until the Stewart's come for their 2 this week, but by Friday it will only be Cara and David's new dog, he hasn't figured out a name for her yet. Hmm, maybe I'll be able to let the chickens out again, I haven't dared for the past 2 weeks, with the puppies, a hungry Mama Cara, and a construction crew running around working on the roof.
