Puppy HUnting



Once upon a time, in a previous life, I wrote a column for a newspaper.  On one occasion, I decided that Farlie, our S.P.C.A. rescued, yellow Lab but mostly Akita, was due for her moment of glory.  She had truly earned it.  If, by chance, you read the column, when I first wrote it, thank you.  It's always really nice to know that I am not here writing away in a vacuum; and perhaps you might care to read it again and give Farlie her second moment of glory.  Plus, hey, I've played with it and it's really almost nothing like the original.                                  


Farlie is our S.P.C.A. rescued, yellow Lab  but mostly Akita cross whom we adopted when she was six months old.
When we had first met her, we had been puppy hunting.  My partner badly wanted a dog and since we had both retired, I had agree with only one stipulation: I would not be on the other end of the leash.  Dog walking was not my thing. 
We checked Lab puppies.  They were four weeks old, all Goldens and both parents were available for observation and were beautiful dogs. We  left our name and phone number with the breeder.
