Oh! What a Beautiful Morning!

Fred was up early this morning and took some pictures from our deck. He said it was "36 degrees and the geese were honking!" There you have it, straight from Joe's Pond this October Morn.

A NEW GUY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

A message from Evelyn Richer this morning:

This is a shot of our newest additions… some of you remember the arrival of our Alaskan Klee Kai, female, Nahanni this past January (shown here on the right)… she would like you to meet her beau Kenai. He is a rescue dog from Illinois. His life started out a bit rough. He was found to be unsuccessful as a breeding male, so he was returned from his home in California back to Illinois and put up for adoption (we think there is an issue of abuse as well, he is very timid and shy). The original breeder was very strict with her requirements for his new home. She had to find the perfect combination for him…and since we had to make a very tough decision with our Nahanni to have her spayed so that her heart murmur would not weaken this new breed’s bloodline, we seemed to be the best candidates for Kenai. He also had to be neutered as part of the deal… so they are very happy (and spoiled) pups living here on Joe’s…

And yes, they are really in a stroller!! We got the stroller to use like a traveling crate, they get to be up high to see everyone, and we can keep them hooked in for their safety. (We got it so we could take them to shows with us) We trained them for the stroller in the house going around in circles through each room on the first floor… and our other dog Abbey followed close behind… Ray got a kick out of watching us ‘parade’ past him! Nahanni liked it so much that when Kenai was in it alone she would get up in a chair and jump in as we passed her in the living room… Kenai used the stroller at Autumn on the Green craft fair in Danville this year and caused quite the traffic jam at our booth! (And no, you will not see Ray pushing the stroller!! J

We affectionately call them “The Kids” because they make us feel like we are raising twins!! Whew!! We even traveled with diaper bags for a while!!! Anyone stopping by the house to see all the toys scattered about would agree… we have two “toddlers” in the house!!

They both are full-grown at about 14” tall and weigh about 10-11 pounds each… they are the perfect lap dog and full of affection and love to travel. We couldn’t ask for more… we thought you’d like to meet them… As far as we know, there are only 2 of these Alaskan Klee Kai’s in Vermont, NH, and Maine… and these are the two!

Have Happy Holidays!! From Evelyn, Ray and “the kids”…
