Love at First Sight

Today we got to meet Jedi for the first time.  Sienna was so excited to be able to meet her.  We drove 45 minutes to a beautiful little town called Mallorytown to visit Masonridge Kennels.  The owners, Carol and Randy were so welcoming and encouraged the kids to handle the puppies.  Sienna went in first and immediately Carol put Jedi into her arms.  Sienna was so happy to be holding her pup.

The puppies were all very healthy, active and alert.  "Spirit" the mom was absolutely wonderful.  She didn't mind us visiting her beloved puppies.  The mom was such a gentle lab, full of love and sweetness.  She reminded me so much of River, Asia's service dog.

Sadly, Asia was not feeling very well today because of a night of seizure problems.  She was unable to visit with the puppies for long and hopes to do so another time.  Sienna, on the other hand, was healthy and happy today.  She made a card for Carol and Randy because she is so happy that they are taking care of her puppy.  

Jedi was very cuddly with each child that held her, which is a very good sign.  I don't know if they have ever seen kids but the 5 kids that went to visit didn't phase them at all.  All good signs.

We won't get Jedi until mid November.  It's hard for Sienna to wait but the puppy needs to be with her mama much longer.  Thank you Carol and Randy for opening you home up to us.  It was so nice to meet you both.

For anyone local, the black male lab is still available from Masonridge Kennels as well as the 4 year old mother "Spirit".
