| Blue Boy has arrived at his new home in UTAH. His new owner, Shelley, drove here to pick him up with his new "older brother," "Armstrong," also a Dalmatian. (Shelly lost her 11-year old Dal this year to cancer, and they've both been very lonely!) Shelley is apparently a sports fan as Armstrong is named after "Lance Armstrong," and Blue Boy's name is going to be "Ripkin" after Cal Ripkin Jr. Armstrong was a complete DOLL and he and Ripkin were fast friends by the time they left. Armstrong is an advanced obedience student, and on his way to becoming a certified therapy dog, and Ripkin will likely follow in his big brother's footsteps. |

| Yellow Boy has gone to his new home in Oakley, CA with a family who has a 13-year old female Dal -- they just lost their elderly male Dal in October. Joan and Jeff have a 5-year old granddaughter who visits frequently. She recently asked for another visit to see Santa because she "forgot to ask Santa for a new puppy for 'Papa.'" (Awwwwwwww!) Yellow Boy will eventually go to work every day with Jeff. Yellow Boy's name will be "Jeter" after Derrick Jeter -- Jeff is a big NY Yankees fan. He'd been considering that name for his puppy, and when he discovered I live on "Jeter Street" ... well ... that did it! |

| Brown Boy is now "Potter" (Dotter's Harry Spotter) and will go "international" and live with Dotsie's breeder, Sue, and his dog grandpa, Dotsie's Dad, "Arthur," (Am/Can Ch Driftwood Canadian Rambler, CDX, RDX, CPC). Arthur is 12 years old and still runs 3 miles a day with Sue) in Calgary, Canada. Please don't tell Potter that it sometimes gets as cold as "28 below" in Calgary!! Look for Potter in a Canadian and/or American conformation ring near you. (I hear he'll also do some tracking, and since his Grandpa Arthur was High In Trial at the Road Trial AND HIT in Obedience at the DCA National Specialty in 1996 ... look for "Potter" in those venues as well!) |
