Brecon's First Day Pupdate

Dear Sarah and the Brecon Posse,

First of all, don't expect daily updates, especially once spring break ends!

Brecon, aka Mr. Brindle, seems to be doing fine. He's found lots of fun leaves to chomp on and has had a couple of good fraps around the yard and house. He is properly defferential so far to the cats. He has also found things he doesn't need, like a wine bottle cork I had given to the cats some time ago and forgot about. He's been out around two different blocks for walks, one yesterday and one today.

I have been putting his daily ration of puppy food into Kongs so he has a challenge and something appropriate to chew. So attached are a couple of pictures of Brecon, the mighty Kong hunter!

I'm sorry. This update was interrupted by a housebreaking interlude.....

As I leave you, Brecon is having a wrestling match with his flowered bed. So far the bed is winning.

Your humble and obedient servant,
Elaine

***************
editor's note: Later this evening, I heard that Brecon has won over everyone at his new vet clinic, he's signed up for a "puppy's only" Monday daycare, Elaine has gone to meet a trainer about puppy class, and he's already enrolled in a basic obedience class for later this spring. whew! You go, Elaine, and good boy, Brecon!

And Then There Were Four, or Brecon's New Home

Baby Brecon, aka Mr. Brindle, moved to his new home today. He spent a weekend with Elaine last month, and now he's packed his bags, and he lives in Liberty. Brecon made himself right at home, and I think he's going to have fun.


He's already trained Elaine to give him lots of tummy rubs. And he's quite happily taken over the dog bed, secure enough not to care that it has pink flowers on it. :-).

"Excuse me, can I help you? I was napping here."

Bye, special, special boy. We will sure miss you at home, and but I know we'll see you soon!

When I look at this photo, Brecon looks like a miniature version of Syd. I'm happy that Brecon is going to have so much interaction with people, and Elaine is getting him into a puppy class for dog socialization too. The bonus is that I might get to babysit him this summer, and Elaine will allow me to show him if he grows up and wants to be a show dog. But first and foremost, he's going to be one spoiled boy. Elaine promises to send me pix and updates, and I promise to share them!

Last Playdate with Mom

Brecon had a bath and blow dry, his feet were trimmed and nails dremeled. Today is a big day. He's moving a bit north, and he's going to live with his new mom Elaine.

Until I was looking at these photos, I did not realize just how much Brecon is looking like his mom. He's like a mini-me Syd in a boy version.

I thought Syd and Brecon would enjoy one last play session together, just the two of them, before Brecon moved away. It still makes me smile to see the pure joy in Syd's expression when she's playing with her puppies.

Smiling Syd. She loves her boy.

Love those ears. Like mother, like son.

Copy-cat

Ear cleaning. A good mother makes sure her kids are all clean before they leave the house.

What a happy mom.
