We have had a really tough year of losing beloved dogs.
We've recently committed to adopting a puppy and are looking forward to all the silly cuteness he will bring to our home, because you know, you can never have enough cuteness & silliness! Of course!
The above picture is the Mama.
Puppies due Feb. 1.
This is the Papa.
Both parent dogs are healthy, with good temperaments and OFA cert. hips. The Daddy dog is actually OFA excellent, which is a big deal in large breed dogs.
I am hoping this pup will be suitable to work with me towards a CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and TDI (Therapy Dog Intl.) so we can do therapy work together - something I am passionate about and have done before. So, we will be busy - we like our pups to meet 100 people and experience all kinds of social settings in the first year, to learn that the world and people are wonderful. That way (we hope!) we end up with a dog that is comfortable accompanying us everywhere we want to go.

Patty,
I don't know where you get all your energy from but I'd like some of it:)
I'm sorry to hear about Jake, as we are enjoying our 10 mth old boxer we are learning what a special breed they are. Molly keeps us smiling.
Praying Gods will for your family in all things Patty, I can identify in lots of areas. Hope you get your computer issues worked out soon,
Blessings
Sandra
Thank you Sandra! I really appreciate your encouraging words. I love that you have a Boxer. They are definitely a fave breed of mine. I am a little nervous trying a puppy again after losing our last one at just 13 mo. but here we are trying again anyway!
I'll pray your puppy is a healthy one, looking forward to seeing pictures:) the Mom and Dad sure are handsome!
Thanks Sandra! That prayer would be very appreciated!:)
