Hi friends! Hope you’ve had a lovely winter! Here’s just a few of the latest Back 40 Berners happenings. Bulochka’s puppies are nine weeks old now; some of them just went to their new homes, and some of them we’re keeping a little bit longer. And, we have an exciting announcement…
We are keeping one of the puppies! We knew we wanted to keep one of the girls from this litter, and we decided which one! I am pleased to introduce the newest member of the Back 40 Berners family, Brookie!
Isn’t she darling?
She’s just getting cuter and cuter as she grows! And she looks so much like her mother, Bulochka! Here’s a picture of Bulochka as a puppy:
And here’s Brookie when she was a bit younger:
We’re planning to use Aurora Borealis in her registered name, and speaking of the Aurora, we saw the Northern Lights one night recently! Bulochka joined us outside to watch the beautiful display of the lights dancing in pale green waves in the sky.
The heavens declare the glory of God… Psalm 19:1
Bulochka also joined us for a cross-country ski outing.
She loves the snow!
And Bulochka came along for an afternoon of ice fishing. We had a great time out in God’s glorious creation, enjoyed one another’s company and cups of tea and hot chocolate, and we caught a few fish!
Our puppies are very well-loved and socialized before leaving our home. In addition to lots of cuddles and playtime at home, they also join us for trips to town and get to come in the hardware and building supply stores. They always attract lots of attention!
Flossie (now named Bella) enjoyed her trip to town before leaving to go to her new home in Georgia.
Fisher (now named Chief) also enjoyed his trip to town, before he, too, went to Georgia. We also had puppies from this litter go to Texas, Washington, and Idaho and stay in Montana.
And here’s Brookie again! She got to ride in the shopping cart for a while. 🙂
Enjoy the rest of your winter and have a wonderful spring!
