Soft Spot

The text reads: We have a new soft spot in our hearts... We brought you home on 22 Feb 14. You were the first pup of the litter to leave home. You are very much your own self, very determined and fearless. You run until you drop! Luther is good to you but a little wrestling goes a long way. Thank goodness for the folding fence. You’re a true lab--loving food more than anything. Right away you were sitting on command and wanting to go outside to do you thing. Smart girl! Stop growing and stay a puppy for a while!!! You are just too cute for words.

Birthday Boy is FOUR!

Happy Birthday, Luther! It's hard to believe that you are such a big boy--four years old. You've matured into a great dog--so easy to live with in the house, a good father, a powerhouse in the field, and a dog with so much heart! Happy Birthday and many, many more.

Like Father--Like Daughter

There are times it is great to have the camera at hand. You just can't stage a photo like this. Luther was lying in his comfy bed when Java thought she might like that, too. I admit the camera settings were not optimal but who has the time to change the f/stop--not and capture the moment! Luther has been very tolerant to the whirlwind that has changed our everyday life. Java has arrived and she'll let you know it every waking minute. She has her active times and times when she is very centered and calm. Or she is asleep. She likes being in the same room with her "people". Jimmy has been very attentive and watches both dogs from around 5 a.m. till about 7:30. ;-) That gives me a little extra nap time that comes in handy as the day goes on. I take the night duty. We make numerous visits outside which are paying off. Luther doesn't mind because when we come in, it's "Treat" time. This isn't so bad after all!
