King of the Mountain

Snow Dog

We live in the UP of Michigan. That means there is still a couple of feet of snow on the ground, even though it's officially spring. Yes, that was feet of snow. Good thing Zeb is a snow dog. He loves being outside and he loves romping around in the white stuff. He came with quite a coat of fur on him. Good thing. He's needed it here. We've also been having tons of fun with new pup sister Maggie. Zeb and Maggie play together all the time. It's funny because he's so much bigger than her, but she is very outgoing and enthusiastic. There is nothing cuter than Maggie barreling down at Zeb full steam. We keep warning Zeb that he needs to be nice to her because she's going to get bigger.

You Can't Have Just One

New Kid on the Block

Okay, so this is Zeb's puppy blog, but today we got a new addition to the family, Maggie. Yes, it's true. English Shepherds are like potato chips, you can't have just one. We got Maggie from Bert Jager, a breeder here in Michigan. He was great! Highly recommended. Maggie (formerly known as Josie) is the sweetest puppy ever. Not that Zeb isn't sweet, but she is just very confident and cuddly. My daughter loves her and hasn't put her down since she got home. Some of her brothers and sisters are still for sale if you are in the market. Check out their website here and give Bert a call! By the way, Maggie's mom is Pearl, and Maggie means Pearl. Isn't that precious? Maggie was also my husband's Grandmother's name. Keeping it all in the family. One bit of sad news, Grandma Kitty passed away yesterday. She had just woken up from a cat nap on top of the hay, came down for a drink and keeled over. At least it was quick. She was a good cat.
