Puppy Reunion

Almost the whole group - there were 14 pups

This weekend we went to a puppy reunion for the breeder of Hops in Linden CA at a cattle ranch.

They had pups from from 6 different litters born for the last year.  They all had the same Dad, Max - but had different moms.  Each litter had a different color bandana so you could tell who were siblings.  Hops only had one sibling there, Budster, her one brother.

When we showed up, the dogs played in a cow pasture for an hour.  They were having a ball - chasing each other, fetching and playing in a horse trough. There was also a fair amount of cow pie eating and at least one dog ate a dried crusty alligator lizard.

After the play session, all the dogs got hosed off (see pic of horse trough) and went into their kennels while we ate a BBQ lunch prepared by the breeder.  After lunch we all told funny stories about our pups, including the host's story of her "Naughty Audi" shredding a full size down sleeping bag!  All she could see were eyes, a tongue and feathers.

Then the host gave a beautiful doggie gift basket to the person who came the farthest (Pup Georgia and her mom who came from Moorpark in So Cal).

Next, we got all our pups on leash and did a group pic.

It was a delightful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
