All You Need is Love
Take one empty puppy...
fill her with as much love as possible
and a few good meals...
and a magical transformation happens!
Annie's first full day on the farm was a huge success.
She is laying at my feet as I type this blog,
completely relaxed.
Beside her...Sam and Oakley are asleep.
Sam and Oakley seem to be tolerating her well...
Sam is curious,
Oakley is just a little jealous.
(He crawls into my lap every chance he gets and covers my face in kisses....
I reassure him that he is still my most favorite black boy dog.)
Potty training is going well.
She seems to understand that the purpose of going outside is to evacuate one's coffers.
It helps that it is rainy out...no fun to play out in the rain!
She learned the game of fetch in no time.
She is so very eager to please.
Training will be so easy with this little girl.
Now.....the mystery of her humble beginning may be unfolding...
Our friend Anna (who often helps around the farm) has a sister in law who just received
a puppy the same age as Annie...same build, same size, same coloring, same looks...
Her puppy was dropped off by a "breeder" who could not sell the litter.
Supposedly, this litter is half Lab, half Bull Mastiff.
We don't know for sure if Annie is part of this litter, but it is a little suspect.
So if this is the case, our little Annie won't be little for very long.
We'll see.
And I will keep you up to date!
And if life weren't crazy busy enough,
I just received 40 newly hatched chicks to tend to...
Buff rocks, Auracanas, Buff Orpingtons, Red star, black star, turkens,
silver laced Wyandottes, and one surprise Polish Crested (all females...supposedly)
so many lives to care for...
Life on the farm is never boring!
