OUR MOM HAS FALLEN IN LOVE - AND A BIG SURPRISE

For quite some time,
we have been looking forward
to a visit from
Rory and Fiona.

They rode, with their peeps,
down I-81
through numerous traffic problems
to come see us and
spend the night
at our house.

Their Mom says
Fiona is the brains
of the couple,
but Rory has the
dashing good looks.

Our Mom is absolutely smitten with him.
He speaks with a Scottish brogue
and that drives the ladies crazy.
He and Piper even became great buds.

And he was ever so nice
to the Sweet Babes.
Fiona, on the other hand,
just took a look and was off
about other business.

And now for our surprise.

Since we lost our
sweet JavaMan
over a year ago,
we have been trying
to find another
Chocolate Lab
to be our
farmdog.
It hasn't been working out for us.
We knew that we had to
get a puppy
so that it would grow up knowing
the real bosses of
Rocky Creek Farm.

Last week,
one of our Dad's student's presented him
with an end of year gift -
a puppy.

She has been in quarantine
for 10 days so we get to meet
her today, just like you.

So please meet

Miss Iverness
"Ivy" for short.
Yes, Bertie, we did leave a letter out-
on purpose -
we wanted a Scottish sounding name for her
but we didn't want her nickname to be "Iny".
Her breed is the most popular -
Heinz 57;
it appears she will top out
at about 100 pounds.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh, Ruairi, Ivy,
and
The Sweet Babes
