Home Home, Sweet (NEW) Home The Lady: “I had the opportunity to go for a swim on Saturday morning, but I knew it was the coward’s way out. Hawk’s new people were coming to pick him up and I was looking for ways to avoid being here. I knew it would be difficult and I knew I would be emotional. Well, I was right, just not in the way that I expected. Hawk’s new lady and man were so very excited to meet their puppy for the...

The Farm Pond Swimming Lessons Ron: “Let me introduce myself. My name is Ron. I’m named after Jack’s best hunting buddy who went to the Great Hunting Fields in the Sky. You can read that story on my puppy page. No matter. I’ll be doing my best to let Jack keep saying “I’m going hunting with Ron.” Today, Jack decided we should start to learn to swim.

My new lady is a runner...

It wouldn’t have been safe for me to exercise in the summer heat while I was waiting for my puppies and of course, I’ve been very busy since they arrived.

                Home Ch-ch-ch-changes! Doll: “The gang asked me to be the first spokespuppy. We wanted to tell a little bit of OUR story. The last few days have had lots of changes. Mom isn’t hanging out with us nearly as much as she used to. She comes by, sure, and everyone gets a little something to drink, but Jack has been giving us some stuff that’s really good to eat. And the lady...
