Silver Boy now sports a Patriot's Collar and Lead! (Dr. Keith is a Charger's Fan!)


Well, today our friend, Keith, a vet from Southern California, came and took his male pup "home". His choice was the silver collar boy. He loved the way he wanted to play fetch and his more independent attitude. He enjoyed Harley Dude, but felt that Silver would fare better out in California...I think he'll look great with some "blond streaks" in his curls (lol). Keith spent yesterday afternoon with us and we took everyone down to the swimming hole. Today when he came to pick up "his pup", Silver boy came right up to him, sat in front of him and grinned! I think the pick was perfect.
Alice sent some pictures of the pups with Kayla at the lake over the weekend. By all accounts everyone had a ball (both four legged and two legged animals)!! They are invited back next weekend, so they will be enjoying themselves at "Lake Club Med" again.
It is amazing when I look back at the first pictures of the babies and realize the growth both physical and mental/emotional they have achieved! They have tasted all sorts of food, been socialized-- touched/petted by so many different people, been stacked and photographed. They have had so many different toys, run through tunnels, jumped on trampolines, climbed up rocks/ sm. mountains and have been swimming in a lake and a small swimming hole that's part of a larger stream. They have all taken trips in the cars, either to the vets, or the store, or to the lake and have done so very well. They all come when I call "pup, pup, pup". They have physically grown...starting out at around 10 oz, they now weigh anywhere between 14 lbs and 17 lbs. They race around, but have nice "trots" when they slow down, very nice dark eyes and lovely coats. 6 have the look of Kayla and 4 have the look of Seamus...can't wait to see them as they grow into their paws!
Many of you know that Marion spent a night in the hospital, but she is home and doing well, just a little tired. This weekend we will be "down to" 3 pups and they are going to camp, so Marion's life and her house will be back to a more normal routine.
I will post pictures sent to me, and will try to keep you up to date on Mallyree Kennel News.
Talk to you all soon.
