New Family Member?


Conner has been asking for a new dog for the past several months. He has been walking Kailah with me at 6:00 a.m. most mornings to show his commitment to taking care of the potential new dog. I have been very reluctant to add to our family. After getting Kailah as a one year old and fully trained, the thought of a new puppy has not been very appealing.

Several days ago this message appeared in our inbox:

"Tundra is a really wonderful, healthy, affectionate, spayed 3 1/2 year old purebred chocolate lab. Her family got her as a baby and gave her a good life and lots of love as they raised her with their baby boy.
Unfortunalty, they lost their house and their marriage at the same time and realized that Tundra was suffering from the tension and the lack of exercise. I of course said yes to keeping her while a new home was found. So please send this email to everyone you can because they might know someone who needs a great companion like Tundra.
She is very affectionate and loves to be petted, scratched, tickled, and hugged. She is very athletic and can run for miles and still be ready to fetch the ball. She loves to ride in the car and is very well behaved. She is a house dog and will lay on her cushion as long as you say, and has good indoor manners. She is well trained, walk good onleash, has amazing recall, gets along and plays with any other dogs. She loves cats, little kids, and toys.
Overall, Tundra is a well trained, young, healthy, easy to care for chocolate girl. Please call me if you want to meet this super little girl. Nacina"

Nacina was the breeder we got Kailah from, so we know the dog is currently in good hands.

We talked as a family and Conner thought this would be a good idea. We are off on Saturday to meet and greet. More details to follow!
