Thank You Bryn

My 11 year-old Llangwm Bryn, a dog I brought over from Wales as a pup, left us today. He was riddled with early onset arthritis (for the past 4 years). A fall a week ago resulted in an injury that made going on impossible. He could no longer walk and was in excruciating pain.

Bryn was the noblest and bravest of dogs. A perfect companion. Never any trouble. Always game. Smiling, smiling, smiling.

I will miss you my Bryn. Thank you for 11 years of happiness and delight.

Saturday before he left us, on my birthday, Bryn could no longer walk but was out with us enjoying the day, smiling as he watch the other dogs run and play. He was magnificent.

Rain Goes Home With Ed

Young Rain (né Bill) is off to his life on a working sheep farm here in Vermont.

Rain took to Ed strait away …gazing right into his eyes. Don’t often see that.

Puppies From Two Litters

Pups from the Gail x Jimmy litter and the Nel x Bran litter are now the same size, despite being 4 weeks apart, and can play together. In this video, playing with an empty maple sugar container.

5 Week Old Puppies

The Rob Ellis Bran x James McCloskey Nel pups [2F/2M] are now 5 weeks old and getting itchy to explore. They have discovered the real “outside” and don’t want to be inside anymore.

Nico has a new home

Little Nico went to Lucy & Jim on their goat farm in Pepperell, MA. The tiny one of the litter with a big heart went to people who also have big hearts. Nico is their first border collie …a companion, and maybe a working dog.
