It was time. Digby was born December 4, 2022. She's home with us now. No surprise that she's a Toller (a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever - Digby is the name of a town in Nova Scotia):
Her big sister (now the big dog) just doesn't think she's cute:
She comes from a litter of eight and was the only one who managed to escape the puppy enclosure (Darlene still isn't sure how). The litter "theme" is last or lasting (it'll be their mother's last litter). And so her kennel name (never really used, but there for formality) needed to have one of those words in it. When we heard that her brother was to be named "RedVine Ever Lasting Love," we knew immediately that she had to be "RedVine Ever Lasting Adventure." And let's hope that this is how she lives.
In other good news, Tricia is fairly certain that her summer schedule won't be screwed up this year and that we'll be able to do a significant amount of the 150.1 miles that remain to the Canadian border.
