5 Months Old (1-20-12) & Livers Loved In Louisville KY

I know it has been a while since the last posting sorry! There are two main purposes to this post...
The first is to say HAPPY 5 Month Birthday to the Puppies! I have been getting updates from all the homes where the Nine are now living and everyone seems to be doing well. Puppies have been or are now starting classes to learn some basic obedience and continue being socialized. Most of the reports have them all at about the same stage of mischief - yes mischief! No matter how wonderfully mannered/ trained a pup is they still find ways to be mischievous at this age.

The other thing is I wanted to give an update on the 3 Amigos ( Baci, Pippa & Zamboni). These are the three that have been with us the longest time. Well it is no longer the 3 Amigo's it is now the Dynamic Duo (Baci &
Zamboni). Pippa is now living with a wonderful couple, Jerry & Patty Blankenship in Louisville, KY. She is the first Liver Dalmatian they have had in their family but not their first Dalmatian ( they lost their beloved Maggie in June to cancer). Pippa, Jerry and Patty are doing great.
When we took her Pippa to them last week we had a mini pup reunion. Uno and his owner Lauren live just a few miles away. So Pippa and Uno will get to see each other from time to time. How wonderful that two siblings get to live that close together! :-) We had not seen Uno other than pictures since he left the nest at 8 weeks old so this was a doubly wonderful visit. Pippa and Uno really enjoyed playing together again. Have to wonder if they remember each other.... hummmmmmmmmmmmm!
Zamboni and Baci are with us - promise to share stories and more pictures later....

Zamboni's Pre-Christmas Christmas with Aunt Cat and the rest of the Weil Family

As mentioned in a prior post the pups have been on visits with friends throughout the month of December. Zamboni was lucky on one of his visits to have the chance to share a Christmas celebration before Christmas and as promised I'm sharing pictures that his Aunt Cat sent along from that day. He was a real hit that day with her family making his rounds to sit with everyone watching them open presents and just enjoying the experience. The way I understand it his favorite person was Cat's Dad. It seems that Zam would continue to go back to him throughout the day, each time launching himself into his lap. That evening, I received a call from Cat's Mom to tell me he was a wonderful pup and having him there really made their day an extra special one. Good boy Zamboni!
