| Here are our "official" 7 week puppy photos. As "Day 49" happened to also be Christmas Eve, we postponed temperament testing & puppy photos until December 26th. Many thanks to Karen Rochin & Joanne Nash (puppy stacker extraordinaire, "Shoot, dammit!") for coming to help Kathe and I with temperament testing & photos! |
| In birth order ... |
| Rose Girl is going to be a "Dottie." I believe her AKC name is going to be a "tongue-twister" ... Dotter's Dotsie Dotter Dottie. (Say THAT 5 times fast!!) Dottie was first born and first to leave us -- she has gone to her new home with a fire captain, his wife & two daughters (experienced Dal owners) in Tracy, California. |
 |
| Navy Boy is now "Rocket" -- (since his Dad is "Jet," of course). He has gone to his new home in San Bruno, California, with a lovely retired couple (also previous multiple Dal owners) who have grand-children visiting once a week. I hear Rocket also has a "godmother" lined up, and Barbara wonders if she has to call the Priest to have him baptized??? ;-) UPDATE: I heard from Barbara today that Rocket prefers her slippers over any of the dozens of toys they bought for him! |
 |
| Gold Girl stayed with us a little longer than the rest (until her new family returned from a previously-planned trip to Hawaii.) The news that they were going to get Gold Girl outshone the Hawaii trip and EVEN Christmas!! She's going to be living with a family with 3 kids, including 4-year old twin boys. (Oh yes ... THIS girl can handle it!) NEWSFLASH: Gold Girl has a name! She's "Starbuck." (See page 18 for details!) |
 |
| Black Boy (who looks SO much like his handsome Daddy) is now "Chopper." He went to his new home with a volunteer firefighter and his wife in Hollister, California. (His new "Grandma" came along with Mom & Dad to pick him up!) Look for Chopper in a show ring (or on a fire truck?) near you! |
