Moved:

"Callie & Lola have moved with owner Carrie Squires from temperate Savannah, GA to frigid Cleveland, OH. Callie & Lola had no problems adjusting to the move and the new home, but the snow has been a challenge. Callie chooses to leap from "high point to high point", not realizing those are drifts of deeper snow that she then sinks into. Lola has learned to walk in the path that Callie creates. They are very playful when off leash in the snow, but for very short periods of time before they want to go back inside. It took Callie less than a day to discover the joys of the heating vents. They are enjoying having mom home almost all of the time, and are in for a rude awakening when she starts her new job with Arby's Monday & they have to become crate doggies again.

This is the vent in my bedroom. When the heat comes on, Callie goes to the nearest vent. When it shuts off, she finds me to sit in my lap haha ”

New Additions:

Karen & Bob Chodock “are expecting a human pup this April.  As long as all goes well, we're having a boy.”

The LayPort’s Anabel and Poe are doing well.  “Poe is starting to show his age (they’re 11), but Ana is still spry (playful, curious, into every-thing, & still stubborn as heck).  We are expecting another hooman baby in May.  Ana does not approve. 

The Schulz family is adding a boy pup to the family from the new Pi X Chaminade litter.

The Hess family added puppy Dolce to the household. “Her formal name is Talisman Musical Prodigy. She is a new piece of my heart.”.
