The Courtship of Eddy, the Father


Well, we needed that one more project around here. So, on Thursday Eddy came over. Eddy is the father of Forbes and apparently quite the stud. His job to enter some sort of courtship with Bambi that will produce a lamb in the spring. He's a good looking ram.



But is this not the funnies face you've seen? I've been told it's the "breeding" face. To me it appears to be the face that will ensure bachelorhood. But, that's just me. Not sure how and when we will find out if there will be lambs in the spring. But we'll be sure by the end of March or early April.


Meanwhile, in puppy world, Koa got an introduction to everyone in the family and the critters. Here you can see Madelyn helping with the introduction to Forbes.


Here is Koa on his first day of "work". He put on his little vest and went to school with Ellie May, er, I mean, Valerie.


After a long day of school and play Valerie cuddles with Koa on the doggie bed. Honestly, everyone but Koa uses the doggie bed. It's pretty comfy.


Michael got this awesome picture so it had to be posted. 


Last night Madelyn and Valerie came in carrying Koa. Apparently he found a big muddy puddle. So, he got his first bath. He loved it.


The night we first got Koa, he seemed so melancholy. But when we got him home and gave him a nyla bone, he turned into a real puppy! He is truly a little lab. Lots of tail wagging and stick fetching.


Again, everyone but Koa uses that dog bed!


Dennise is the woman at Remedy Service Dogs that hooked us up with Koa. She posted this on her Facebook page. It made me laugh. Man, this has turned into the dog blog!


And you may have heard about drought in California. We were so grateful for the rain. And we got quite a show on Monday night. Here is the start of of the storm and Valerie's reaction.

Meet Koa and Snoopy.


Koa is super mellow and 16 weeks adorable. Snoopy was less mellow and went home with a different family.


He is Valerie's latest FFA project. She will be socializing him and working on his training. He will ultimately finish his training elsewhere & become a service dog probably for a child with autism or someone with PTSD. He will put on his training vest and go off to school with Valerie tomorrow.

He's pretty darn adorable!
