Puppy Pics

Baby Moose

Also, here's a video of Bandit licking a popsicle.

Moose was born!

We got a call from our breeder this morning informing us that the puppies were born. Lacy had one boy puppy and a girl puppy. We will pick him up the middle of June. We are so incredibly excited and relieved. We will post pictures when we get them.

Here are pictures of his mom and dad.

Lend me a Pup

We received our Therapy Dogs magazine this month and this poem was in it.

It of course brought back many memories of our beloved Bruce!

(always on his back in his kennel....ha!)

Lend me a Pup

Anonymous

I will lend to you for a while

a puppy, God said

for you to love him while he lives

and to mourn for him when he is gone.

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years

or maybe two or three

but will you, till I call him back

take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you

and (should his stay be brief)

you'll always have his memories

as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise that he will stay,

since all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught below

I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over

in search of teachers true

And from the folk that crowd life's land

I have chose you.

Now will you give him all your love

Nor think the labour vain

Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again.

I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done,"

For all the joys this pup will bring,

the risk of grief you'll run.

Will you shelter him with tenderness

Will you love him while you may

And for the happiness you'll know forever grateful stay.

But should I call him back

much sooner than you've planned

Please brave the bitter grief that comes

and try to understand.

If, by your love, you've managed

my wishes to achieve,

In memory of him that you've loved,

cherish every moment with your faithful bundle,

and know he love you too.

Bandit loved his "Easter" Bobo.

Waiting on the plumber....long story!

Bandit sufferes from a really bad underbite....it's hilarious.
