JIM & MARIANNE gave one of our cream-longhaired Momma Dogs a wonderful home after retiring from the whelping box.

Tell Bill I did get her chip updated to us. Gracie’s local vet has become her new BFF. Amazing relationship (like with me) from day one. One year in  …  and the doc says she’s in pristine health after spaying, shots, foods, etc. It took six months of training after being a “mom” dog, but she’s the perfect “child” for us now and she knows it   🙂  She loves having her nails drummeled and a blueberry facial as part of her regular periodic professional grooming (at-home service). She has maintained 11 pounds and you can’t even see her spaying scar. I guess her doc figured she might become a movie star. Marianne’s car’s license plate says “Puppy Love”  (love being a heart symbol). That should say it all   🙂  Our extreme heartbreak over the loss of our dear Chelsea (18-year-old long-haired R/C/B color) has been mended as Gracie is also now closely bonding with Marianne. Thank you for driving her up to approve of us and our home for her. You are right, “she’s a lucky dog”   🙂
