Our friends had decided to advertise the Brutus-Snowball pups as “designer dogs”.  Oh please, I asked them ,don’t do this, just find the pups good homes.  No, they went forward, put a really nice website together with photos, put ads out, ….. and I sat wondering how long it would take before Brutus’ Breeder community would find out. Wondered what they would do……  then Brutus’ Breeder community came across the ads, and the website.  The emails flew, our friend’s phone rang and rang,  the emails  within that community were nasty, vulgar, mean.  I never knew dog breeders could be such………   No, won’t write that, if Dad was here Dad would remind me how an intelligent ‘man’ does not need to use four-letter words.

All the puppies found loving homes and several stayed in contact with my friend.

These three lucky puppies still get to see each other and have play-dates with each other.  They puppy bow to each other and then fight over who gets to play in the water.

They sink their heads fully into the water just like their dad.  And paw at the water just like their dad.  All the other dogs have bone-structures just like their dad.  And are gentle-sweet-loving dogs just like their dad.

It is tough to get a photo of these 3 sisters when they are all dry.

Instead they like to be all wet.

And the more of their body in the water the better.

I never would have guessed all this back in January ‘07 when we picked up Brutus, or when I received that phone call one year ago on September 7th at 8:30 pm

Now, what decision have you made recently that will have a ripple effect through your life?   And more than likely you won’t even know it for months or years to come.   Scary thought…..   I can only imagine the ripple effects I have made by homeschooling my sons, by blogging, and even by deciding to purchase a little puppy.
