I am so excited that we have found a wonderful home for Black Jack! He is going to a family that has had collies in the past and I know he will be loved!
This means that we have now found homes for all of our puppies from both litters this year. We are thankful that they have all gone to good homes and that their new families love having them!
Well, we only have one last puppy from Wrap’s litter (born Jan 29) who needs a new home. We are praying that a nice family will adopt him soon. We are calling him Black Jack. He is Tri and his face looks exactly like King’s, his father. You can see pictures of this cute collie puppy here. Black Jack is really a happy, friendly and gentle guy. I hope someone claims him for their own before I become too attached to him.
We are so excited to announce that our sweet sable and white male, Gentle Prairie Star, has gone to live with his sister, Lady, at Divine Acres Ranch to train to be a therapy dog at Elijah’s Retreat. Elijah’s retreat is a wonderful ministry that is just getting started to help support families with autistic children. The retreat is set in the Piney Woods of East Texas and will be a place where families can come to get away from hectic life and enjoy some quiet time in a beautiful, peaceful setting. The retreat is in the process of building their first cabin. They have 2 full size horses. They also have 4 miniature horses that have been going to therapy training to work not only at the retreat, but also at area hospitals and nursing homes.
The first of our puppies from our two litters is going to a wonderful home out of state. He is getting ready to fly to PA on Wednesday! To help ensure that he is comfortable and not too stressed out, we are introducing him to his traveling crate for short periods of time that we are slowly increasing so it will be a safe and comfortable place for him. We will also start feeding him tonight in the crate so he will eat and drink while he is traveling and arrive in the best possible shape for his wonderful new family!
Braveheart’s Prayer, one of Wrap’s boys, went home today. They are considering obedience and/or agility competitions for him and may him enter him in some confirmation shows. That was all cool to me, but I got even more excited when I found out that he will also go to therapy training. They visit nursing homes with their church regularly and want him to be able to go with them to encourage the people they visit with. I am so excited to know that another of our babies will be doing their part to make the world a better place!
