Over the weekend I took a trip to San Antonio, to visit Pat, the Breeder of our wonderful Newfs. Bill was gone to a show (when isn’t he?), so it was a great time for Pat and I to get in a good visit. I usually take one of our Newfs along, both for company, and to let Bill & Pat see one of ‘their kids’ and check on how they are doing.

Rebel/Rebecca
This time it was Rebel’s turn. Rebel is a beautiful 3 year old brown Newf girl. If you remember, we were lucky enough to have Rebecca come to live with us about a year and a half ago. However, as much as we love her, she was definitely no Rebecca. She has enough of her daddy Gus’ strong will in her to be a handfull at times. So Rebecca very quickly became Rebel.
A long drive finally over, we made it to San Antonio and Rebel was definitely ready for a break after the long drive. So was I.
We were thrilled to be greeted at the gate by none other than Momma Shannon herself.

Momma Shannon is the lovely foundation bitch of Bifrost. She is also the grandmother/great-grandmother of all 4 of our babies. She is such a sweet and loving dog and I love spending time with her. She’s had some health problems lately, but she got up from her resting place and came over to greet us and to welcome Rebel back home. I was thrilled to see her doing so well. I spent a lot of time rubbing her back, scratching her ears and just talking to her about her ‘babies’ that live with us.
I got to visit with sweet little 10 week old River, who’s sisters and brother had just left her to go to their forever homes. She was definitely missing them, but eager to play and be loved. She is staying with Bill & Pat.. so I hope to get to see her again soon. She had been out playing all morning, so she’s not perfectly groomed, but she was a lovebug!

Overall the visit was way too short, but so much fun! Thanks Pat for having me! See you again soon I hope!
I think the best part of the weekend was getting to play with the puppies.. but I think I’ll save that for another post.
The best part about going away is coming to be with my own dogs. Little RuShou was very glad to see me come home.
