The Next Trainee....

Macy has graduated rom Leader Dogs and is a career girl now! She is working for a woman in Lansing MI. The woman contacted me and Jennifer right away to say how much she already loves Macy and how much she appreciates what we as puppy raisers do.
So onto the next trainee.....
This is Future Leader Dog Charlie. He's an 8 weeks old little golden fluff ball! I picked him up last Friday from the Leader dog school in Rochester Hills, MI. He weighed 7.1 lbs....so tiny! Wilma's little pudges were almost twice that size at the same age!
Charlie's parents are Abby and Buddy, both from the Leader Dog breeding stock. (Wilma's mom is named Abby too!)
Charlie plays hard and then sleeps soundly.
He wasn't too interested in eating the first few days, but suddenly Sunday afternoon he decided his food wasn't so bad after all and has beem a little chow hound ever since. He loves to carry his food bowl around. I've never had a puppy do that before!

Charlie is just the sweetest little thing! Congrats on Macy, and best wishes as you begin your time with Charlie. My dog, Gypsy, used to take her empty food bowl, carry it to the living room, and drop it noisily on the hard wood floor as if to say, "HEY! I need food here!" Good luck with Charlie!
