Simba Update

Hooray! I received an update on Simba today - Email and photo below.  Hoping to hear from all the other puppy families soon (hint, hint).


"Rachelle,
Simba has started obedience classes and is doing very good.  We laughed the other night because we told him it was bedtime and and ran and got his blanket out of his kennel and got on our bed as if to say "I'm a big boy and can sleep here tonight"!  Funny guy!  We are so in love with him he is awesome!"

One of the last videos taken before Eddie flew off to his new home.

They're almost as tall as their mama!

For Karen

A couple of videos of "Eddie" - Taken Christmas Day.

This boy is flying home on Friday...he's such a good pupper

and I know he'll make a wonderful companion for Karen.

Ready or Not , There He Goes ~ To Portland that Is!

I'm heading off to Madison later today to purchase a new airline approved crate for Jag.  He's soon to be flying off to his new home in Portland, OR come January 13th.  Yes, it is on a Friday, but we don't believe in all that "Friday the 13th Stuff" here.  Good things are in the works for this awesome guy, I can feel it.  Admittedly though, I am a little sad to see him go, but I know it's for the best.  He is a really great dog with tons of potential.


Initially,I thought he was going to be "just" a companion dog for his new human mom, Karen.  I am so excited to learn that she has already signed up for an obedience class with him and is also considering the world of agility.  I hope she follows through with it.  It would be great to know that several of the Nitro x Zoe pups are out there competing in various sports.  Speaking of Nitro, Karen has already had a pup from him.  It was sad to learn she recently lost him, but hopefully she can find comfort and new beginnings with another one of his little boys.  


Portland is a great dog-friendly city with many dog parks and opportunities for fun!  It sounds like Karen is getting well prepared for her new puppy, who will now be called Eddie.  


I wish them all the best, as I do with all of the pups' new families; and, all the best to each of you as we start a brand new year in 2012!!!


P.S.  He will still be cheering for the Badgers today vs. the Ducks ;0)
