OUR IRISH LASS HAS ARRIVED

last weekend by Jeff & Becky Brecht. She’s spending some time with
them pending some medical results. Reports are she’s doing very well
there.

HOUND UPDATES
“Nicolas” aka “CTW Flash Flood” is doing very well. Every day we see
a bit more of his personality. He went Saturday to be interviewed at
our boarding facility and was … treated to a spa day. Both David and
I could not imagine life without him. He is amazing, and we cannot
stop hugging him. Our other two dogs have taken to him quickly.
Where one is, the other two are right behind. He’s an amazing dog.

“Winky” aka “CTW Tiddlywinks…has really come out of her shell, and
what a personality she has. Tail wagging all the time, bouncing all
over the house…She’s just the sweetest girl we could have ever asked
for, and so responsive and well-behaved…She now has three beds
scattered through the house, and we’ve concluded that she’s pretty
spoiled and likes it that way. Monica & Scott Weaver
