The Grandpuppy


Sweet and cuddly, Jasmine of Chaska

We were going to take the grandpuppy home last weekend, but both her family and ours got sick. Now that everyone, presumably, is on the mend, the plan is to take her home on Saturday. She's a great little visitor and loves playing outdoors. Her exuberance is amusing. When we're sitting in the living room, she will run in and plop herself down to snuggle up to us. 

 Just before the great mouth closes on her head

Every time I open the door for her, she dashes out into the snow with her plume of a tail in the air, gives one perfunctory bark and then gets on with her business of sniffing the snow and pursuing squirrels and birds.


Comfy evenings

But there's one among us who thinks her homecoming isn't a minute too soon:

    She is so cute!!! We now have two "grandpuppies" with us until next Tuesday. Plus we have two dogs of our own. Daughter and family went to Jamaica...I think they should of taken me so I could stay with the children when they go out at nights.

    She is lovely, but of course so is "Little Miss Jealous."

    Looks a bit like Grandpuppy misses home, too? We woke up to about 8 inches of snow which has thrown a wrench into our plans to leave home for CA. Crazy, eh? Have a good day!

    What a sweetie she is! She's beautiful too! My grandpuppies are both English bulldogs. They are sweet; but they are definitely not pretty dogs. :)

    Awww....Such a sweetie! My neighbor has a granddog, but she is also finally happy to have grandbabies too! Is Misty happy to see her come or glad to see her go? There is always a bit of ruckus when a visitor comes calling.

    Judy, she *is* adorable (though she can't compare with Lionel, but few can). The headshot is a seriously good photograph--a real portrait!
