Hello,
How are all of you
and your fur kids coping with these crazy times we are living through? I
don't know about you, but it's times like these that I'm grateful for my four legged family members.
Hello, how do you do-just before we left the Joplin Humane Society on July 10th.
And speaking of fur kids, I have an introduction to make. After losing both my girls within six months, it was time to add to our pack. Now we still have three oldsters with us; Dylan (age 15), Penny (age 11) and, of course he who once was the baby, Niki (age 9).
I am thrilled to introduce
Darcy, who has just recently joined the family. Michael has been wanting
someone to help him take care of the place, as you might say. We finally headed
down to The Joplin Humane Society and he met Darcy (whose name was Bobby at
the time).
Going For a Ride!
Darcy is part Border
Collie and at ten months old, a bundle of energy. I think that is why his
original family gave him up. He needs space to just run like crazy.

| Darcy loves to swim, which does not make a fishing loving grandson too happy. Darcy scares away the fish! |
We’ve taught him to
sit and not chase chickens. He would still love to catch a sheep (he can’t get
in their field, fortunately). If Covid weren’t upon us, we would have him
enrolled in Puppy School.

| I'm such a help! Catch any fish? |
When our grand old
Black Lab, Bennett passed in January of ’19, things just haven’t been the same.
I don’t know if Darcy will fill his shoes but we’re already pretty crazy about
the guy.
If you have read Jane
Austin, something might hit you about both names. Yes, occasionally, I name
our dogs after Jane Austin characters. And Darcy is a fitting name for this
dapper boy.

That all I have today. It’s been a nice feeling to get to talk about a new fur baby. Has anyone else added someone new to their life?
Take care & Stay
safe
Terri
