It’s always something when you have as many dogs as we have in the house. Let me catch you up on the latest.

First, the happy news that Darla was adopted. She’ll be living just a few miles up the road from me. She’s doing great and her new family is adjusting to the unique energy level a Catahoula, especially one as young and smart and fun as Darla, brings to a home. She’s enjoyed the ornamental pond in her new mom’s garden and enjoyed a romp with her another family member’s golden retriever. Luckily, her new family has a big piece of property and a plan for managing all that dog. She really hit the jackpot.

The puppies are one by one getting approved adopters. Being houndish puppies (my best guess, although I’m pretty sure there are probably a dozen different breeds in their DNA), they’ve required a few adjustments. Everyone is eating separately now to reduce the competitive eating urge and attempt to slow them down (adopters: you will want to purchase a slow-down or puzzle feeder!). We are also trying to get outside as much as possible, since clean up inside is a challenge as they grow and get more active.
