Leader Dog Dad, Tigger

Last and not least, I don't want to forget the all important Father of my wonderful litter of puppies. He is a handsome dog, well loved by all. He's known for his love of carrying a toy and his playfulness, Thank you Tigger.

Leader Dog Turn In Day

January 12, 2010:
At last, turn in day. The puppies arrived at Leader Dogs on a very cold Tuesday morning. Everyone was tired and after just a little exploring, they fell fast asleep in their new short-term residence. Except our most inquisitive puppy, Mr. Purple Collar. He just wandered around and explored. I (Zyla) had a health check with the Dr., saw a few of my human friends and happily went home with my foster parents. Wow! I was very happy! Till next time, Zyla

Miss Blue

Mr Yellow

Mr Yellow collar; one of our friendliest puppies. He loves to be held.

Miss Pink

Miss Pink on puppy return day Jan 12, 2010. She might have been Paula's favorite and has since been named Maybel.

Pick Us Up

When the puppies get to be about 3 weeks of age or so, they recognize me (Zyla) or Paula or Gary when one of us approaches the whelping box or exersize pen. I think they are saying "Pick me up". And, yes they did get loved on many times every day.

Sleeping

She was so tired, she fell asleep at the water bowl. She stayed like that for some time only to awaken when her head fell into the water. We just called her Miss Green for the collar color.
