I know my main focus is about the livestock but here in the Barn we also have family pets that help play a large roll in the daily operations. These guys help us with the animals and watch over us when we are out doing chores. I don't know what we would do with out our faithful companions.
Some of you may know that I lost my Chocolate Lab a little over a year ago to cancer. This was a very rough time for me as I had him since I was 5.
About 4 years ago Duke was bred with a local silver lab and they produced 10 amazing puppies. I felt so fortunate to be able to keep one and I now have Gage - Duke's son.
Duke & Gage - October 2013
Along with Duke & Gage we also have these 2 amazing ladies until about a month ago when Ms. Bailey (yellow lab) went to join Duke in doggie heaven. Bailey was the oldest of our dogs and she is greatly missed.
Braizy & Bailey - April 2017
This left us with Gage & Braizy .... UNTIL earlier this week!
On Tuesday night the neighbor girl brought down to the house the cutest silver lab puppy! She wanted to show us her new baby. We were all so excited for her and her puppy Nala. She told us the breeder still had 3 puppies left but they were black, all the silver ones were spoken for.
Jump forward to Wednesday night .... Our family headed to go look at the puppies. I wasn't sure if we would get one or if we were just looking. My dad started asking the breeder questions ... She told us the father was from a local breeder. We saw pictures - He looked just like Duke & Gage!
She told us his mother was a silver lab .... This seemed really strange and very familiar. Then she told us the name of the local breeder .... Could it be?
Yes it was!!!! Duke is a grandfather!
Meet our newest family member .....
We pick her up today at 4p. Be watching for pictures.
We still don't have a name but please give us some suggestions.
Take Care
From My Barn to You
Brad~
