Pup Visit! -Tikka in Seattle
Upon opening the door I was met with a beautiful red-gold Retriever. Her deep brown eyes shown with enthusiasm. She was definitely excited to see me, but so polite and impeccably well mannered that instead of rambunctious jumps and muddy paws all over my white sweatshirt she contained her joy in a tremendously wagging tail and a happy nose greeting.
I was awed at such a calm, elegant greeting from a 6 month old pup! Tikka was splendid!
Last week I had the great joy of visiting one of our Puppy families in Seattle. The Kreft family of 6 had welcomed into their home one of Penny’s pups “ Tikka” last November. It isn’t everyday that I get to visit my pups as they grow up. And I was overjoyed to witness Tikka’s exceptional development.
