The Puppies Start to Leave

Although it's ideal for us to keep the pups until they are 10 weeks old, that doesn't always work out for everyone's schedule. Last Tuesday, Shawn made a special trip up from Florida to pick up the large male with the blue collar, and then jumped on the plane with her special passenger a few hours later.

His name is now Bohdi, and he's really getting into the swing of things there, going to ball games, horse shows, shopping trips, chasing the chickens, the whole 9 yards.

Writes Shawn, "Poupee has had a big day!!! He was a major crowd stopper!!! Gave the blog address to 3 people!!! Everyone is in deep deep love with our new baby!!!

On Thursday Bob and Jo picked up little Joey, one of the chocolate males. It was sad to see him go but, being our neighbors, he will be close by during the summer months, so that's great. Love that little guy. He was the fastest runner in the litter.

Bob reports that Joey is almost housebroken, and has been a real joy to them. Makes us proud!

Believe it or not, this is the first dog they have owned!
