After Molly, our chocolate lab died 2 months ago, Maggie was pretty listless. A friend of D’Tim’s had been breeding labs, and said she had a several white labs left. Ridge wanted a black lab...’cause they don’t look dirty in the ranch environment. But on Aug 21st, the little lab was brought to Monterey for D’Tim to “check out”. The 21st, being an auspicious day in our lives, sealed the deal...so the beautiful “Bonita” eight week old little female came home to meet Maggie, the big “Syrah Dog.”...no worries, mate...they hit it off immediately and now we have the normal puppy- training chores ahead of us....and one fine natural retriever addition to the family.
One side-bar: The 1st night Bonita was left outside on the deck to sleep with Maggie, the alpha watchdog. We needed a slumber inducing device for the puppy...D’Tim suggested the radio...Ridge found the perfect program...BBC News...because nobody can stay awake for more than 10 minutes listing to the BBC at bedtime!!!

That's one cute puppy! Bonita doesn't look like a Whine Dog to me, but I suppose a good Winery Dog.
I appreciate your detailed reports on the events you have. Maybe your webmistress should link to the blog from the Events section of the main website...
