July 10, 2007

Two years ago a male black lab was born into this world who had very high expectations. Who is the puppy, you might ask? This puppy was DeSoto, my first GDB puppy. My time with DeSoto is something I will never forgot and I loved every minute of it. Through all the complications we faced and the happiness we shared it was all worth it to see him doing what he was born to do. He was almost the perfect first dog.

When recall came, of course tears were shed. Walking out of his kennel with him following me and having to push him back and closing the door broke my heart. Six months later I got a phone call that made me day. DeSoto had been placed with Seth from Venice Beach and was going to graduate on January 31, 2009 DeSoto my cute little puppy I will never forget.
DeSoto`s first Birthday, celebrated at Lake Tahoe
DeSoto now
I hope where ever you are DeSoto, you are loving your job. I wish you a happy 2nd Birthday and many more! Thank you for being a great first dog, I hope to see you down the road.

Happy Second Birthday! (Technically, July 10 is also Ellie's bday - but because most of the other pups in her litter were born on the 11 - the 11th is her bday too) *grin*
