Regrets - I've Had a Few...

Someone on the explore chat suggested I keep a blog of my pictures that I caption. After a huge search, some pilfering, and digging through old files, I've found most of them. Thanks to all the CPs who helped - I learned a lot doing this! The pics were a wonderful archive of fabulous memories of the last six months since I learned to do some photo-shopping and captioning. Some are still missing: I really wish I had the pic of the giraffe peeking into the business meeting in the new G-tent, Dutchie adventures on Puppy Hill and Neal's arrival in the nursery, the antics of the puppies at WCC trying to reach the window in the PEC or heading down to the river for a swim.... I'm hoping some pop up from time to time in the Facebook pages - it seems pics do occasionally resurface with whatever algorithm FB uses. But from now on, I intend to keep adding them to the blog - my own memory book for SDP and WCC.

If, by any chance, you've saved one of my captioned pics to your own files somewhere, could you PM it to me? Thanks!! Enjoy the trip back down memory lane.

The Dutchies

From the old files


It was interesting to se the process of obtaining pups from Europe.  First Miss Kiara made her way over to us.  Then "the Dutchies" tribe of Leroy, Lainie, Leslie, and Lumin.  And finally, everyone's favorite little gangster, Neal from Austria - the heir apparent.

Losing Lumin to Parvo (along with Mae) was heartbreaking.  It seems like we barely got a chance to know her.  I wonder if she had been a little healthier after their long flight over, if she would have been able to battle off the effects better?  We'll never know - but it was such a loss.  I guess we'll see how the rest of the Dutchies work out as working service dogs!  

Chaos was wonderful playing with the new kids on the hill.
