Lola the Scottie

She was born on November 29th, 2022.  On January 31st we flew home from Maryland together and now she lives with me.

Robbie is not real impressed.  I am trying to give him a lot of attention.  She sure is cute.

This is a new adventure for me.  I have wanted to be a dog breeder but not some podunk back yard operation where the buyer has no idea what type of dog they are getting.  I have wanted to do it right.  I knew I would never get to do it until I was alone.  Now I am - and I am learning as much as I can so I can do this in an honorable way.

I was able to visit the FDR Memorial while I was back picking up the new puppy.  It has a statue of his Scottie - Fala - and I know how he felt.  They are a special type of dog.  Not for everyone. Stubborn and smart and willful and loyal and they think they are a lot bigger than they really are - they are the dog for me.

Her around the house name will be Lola.  

Finally, after all these years, I feel as though my life is becoming something beautiful.
