Good morning, everyone. We weren't able to get over to the lady's house to pick her up until around 8:25, so there was really no time for me to update you last night. She is adorable, and you would never know that she was on death's doorstep a short month ago. She is energetic, happy, hungry and very much the pleaser, but completely untrained. I'm pulling out my old puppy kindergarden papers today to refresh myself. We'll have fun. I am charged with teaching her "sit", "stay" and "heeling". She is a fast learner, treat driven, and I will enjoy working with such an enthusiastic dog, I'm sure.

Splash is definitely not a Golden Retriever, but they are calling her a Lab/Golden mix, as obviously the Golden Retriever Rescue group had quite a large heart to bring her in, just like they did Weston. She looks quite much like a Lab, but probably with a little something else added in. As soon as I have a picture, I will share her with you. She is small, even for a lab. And Angie (I Love Hounds) will appreciate this, if she reads it, Splash seems to have a little "hound dog" in her too, but she is lovely, just about the same color as yesterday's Dog of the Day, the yellow Lab.

Thanks for all your good wishes. Honey and Lilly did a thorough check over of Splash, as did Mimi and Butter. Everyone has been fine, although I have learned that Lilly has just had enough of these energetic dogs. She woke me up at least three times last night with a sharp warning bark to Splash to leave her alone. I will crate Splash in my room tonight. I was just too tired to even put the crate together last night. I'll keep you posted!
