Cookie is Mira's half-sister (same mother) and...well long story short her father has the same ancestry as the dog Mira will likely be bred to. So she is similar to what my Mira (who is a co-own with her breeder) will produce if her planned litter goes forward and is successful. Follow? lol. When I tried explaining this to my husband...well I had to draw out the various family trees to illustrate.

I had terrible puppy fever earlier this year but am not ready for a fourth dog...and the competition entry fees and such that go along with a fourth dog of the sort I would want...but I did have time for a puppy so after a long conversation with Mira's breeders, they offered to let me borrow their keeper puppy from their 2012 litter...a.k.a. Cookie. So I brought her back with me when I visited them in August and she'll be going home at the end of this month or early next month to finish growing up and do field and conformation and hopefully some agility too. She's been having a blast doing puppy foundation work for obedience, field, and agility...going along to trials...swimming...running through the woods...doing meet'n greets at busy places...going to construction sites...basically all the stuff that puppies need to do to ensure their environment and good genes result in a stable, biddable, driven workaholic adult dog. Her breeders will hopefully get back a green, unfinished dog with a very good working foundation in any environment. And I get a couple months of puppy playtime, in-depth knowledge of how this combination of genes turned out at least in this individual, and did I mention puppy snuggles and playtime?

I get it! Thanks for explaining

Hopefully her breeders aren't too far away, I want to see more pictures of her!

There is a reason (well, several reasons) he did not go to Minnesota with us last summer

They would like you to know that they are tortured and it is very horrible to live here. Worse yet when I release them one by one for their meal. Pooooor pups.

I'm sure I will see her again. And I'll be pestering them for photos from time to time

Webster was so funny about that tree. First he was giddy with joy that the WHOLE TREE was within his reach and thousands upon thousands of teeny tiny delicious pears were RIGHT THERE...and then we hauled it away and his life was a tragedy...until he discovered how many little fallen pears remained in the grass from all the chaos...oh the emotional rollercoaster that is Webster's life...
