Homecoming for Emma and Lucy

It is time for Emma and Lucy to come to their new home. We were so excited and anxious with expectation. I never thought the day would come. Finally, they were 8 weeks of age and old enough to leave their Mama. We called Deb Madore at Riversmokelabs.com to make sure that they were ready to go. The puppies had visited the vet the day before getting their first shots, de-worming, and a check up. Everything was a go. WooHoo! We headed north. Okay, we live north but headed toward the Canadian border. Mapleton is about 20 miles from the border and 3 hours from us. Maine is a big beautiful state. We saw fields of wheat......

more wheat......

Lots of potatoes, and potatoes, and potatoes......

hay and more hay......
and the road abruptly ended. We thought we had hit the Canadian line. However, they do have roads in Canada. They were just repaving.

The Booda babies road on the dash for a bit, awaiting the puppies.

Then they grew tired and took a nap in the new dog bed.

We finally made it to Mapleton.

After a few turns there was the sign for Riversmoke Labs

We finally made it. Hooray! The kennel is very nice.

This is Lucy. She is outgoing and bouncy but well behaved.

Emma is more reserved. She likes long walks on the beach. Oh, ha ha.

Such a little girl in a big world.

This is Lijah the beautiful mama of our girls.

Good bye mama, we'll miss you!

Off we go. They are such good travelers. All smiles.

Attentive and watchful...

but are still babies.

Napping with my Booda.

Sleeping with my Jasmine.

We got home late and the girls ate and went to bed. The next morning they were full of energy and getting acquainted with the outdoors.

Wrestling in the driveway.

Of course we had to have our own pool

Plenty of quiet time

Hello and welcome to our new home

Much love and prayers from Mainely Ewes Farm

Kelly, Alex, Emma and Lucy

Puppy Update

I got an email from Deb at http://riversmokelabs.com/ with new and updated pictures of Emma and Lucy. They are growing like the weeds in my garden. Look at the intelligence in those eyes and that sweet little face. Look at that mean little boy puppy trying to get my Emma's tail. Stop that you mean little boy! Emma is so unaware.

Lucy, quick go get Deb. Tell her that mean little boy is trying to bite your sisters tail!
Such sweet angels. I'm actually looking forward to smelling that puppy breath,

going shopping and buying toys, chewies, beds, puppy food. Oh..it will be so exciting having babies in the house again.

Good Mama! We hope you are having a happy day. Much love and prayers from Mainely Ewes Farm.

Baby Pictures

As our farm grows so does our family. We have been looking at Labrador Retrievers for a couple of years. They are an excellent breed, smart, funny, playful and become great members of your family. We are very careful to only purchase from reputable breeders. I refuse to buy any puppy from a store. Puppy mills make the lives of these animals pure hell. Riversmoke Labs is a clean, well maintained kennel which produces healthy, happy and sound puppies. Their reputation is exceptional. We will be welcoming Emma and Lucy when they reach 8 weeks of age. I really don't know which will be Emma or Lucy but here is their first pictures. Aren't they cute? Can't you just smell that puppy breath?

We were referred to Riversmoke Labrador Retrievers by a secretary from our hospital. April has a female that she bought from Deb Madore and she is very happy with her girl. She was a rescue dog. The first family didn't understand that puppies take time, love, and patience. April is the perfect match. They are best of friends.

I love their brown noses. Just look how fat their little ears are.

The grow so fast. What a bunch of pups!

We wait rather patiently till Deb gives us a call. We will pack up the truck, head north to Mapleton, Maine (a hop skip and jump from New Brunswick) and pick up Lucy and Emma. If you are interested in checking out the web site it is Riversmokelabs.com

Does anyone know how to put a link in the blog? I want a blue thingy that you can click on and go there. See how my computer vocabulary just grows and grows. We are still in the midst of storms here. We had a big thunder and lightening storm tonight that awakened a few patients from their sleep at the hospital. So far the hay has had to wait. We can't get it cut and dried. It's that patient gene that I really didn't get in my DNA.

Much love and many prayers from Mainely Ewes Farm
