A puppy gets a home for Easter Sunday.

So thanks to Cindy, the middle size male got a home. Who has the best Easter? The puppy or the human? May they have many more Easters together! We so appreciate Cindy and her husband drove up from Redding to get their next compaion.

After a briefe stop at our house to feed the lambs, we drove out to see the puppies. Four fat Kelpie mix whipper snappers were there. The father dog, Spot was showing off his goof ball wrecked old plastic bucket toy. The puppies did not dissapoint. They were full of it, each one showing off his or her unique personality. It was a taxing decision as all of the puppies are good. No one shirks and runs under the house. They are all good dogs and were acting like folks come to see them every day. They knew it was time to impress. I saw the middle size puppy doing an especially playful dance one moment and I'm sure it helped him sneak under the wire! Just when the biggest puppy was taking a snooze and the smallest boy was having a spat with his sister.What a clever plot. He ended up going home with his new family. But it was close...none of these pups shines above the others. They are all easy going, playful, personable and good looking.

I guess it's a chemistry thing. Male puppy chosen will have a country life and be expected to hit the trails along with his owners on horseback and travel many a mile. Somehow, I don't think he'll mind a bit. Riding on public trails horseback with a dog these days is a demanding job for the dog. The running along part is easy, but the dog has to be very obedient and tuned into his owner and charges (Horses). He can not make waves, he must be very well behaved as the trails must be shared by so many other people of many disiplines. A word of advice to puppy. Don't you dare poop on the PCT! Only deer and coyotes get to do that.

The puppy on the shoulder is going home. You can see that the male puppy that is like the female's twin was really trying to get in on the wagon ride too. And don't mistake my Icelandic lambs for puppies!
