Introducing "Shadowland's Springtime Applause"

aka

"Bacall"

Hello, everyone!  My name is "the puppy Bacall"!  I arrived on this earth on the first day of Spring (May 20, 2011) and I was named after the beautiful and talented actress, Lauren Bacall!  Below is a picture of my mama, "Rhoadie" and my two baby sisters.  There were only three of us in this litter and it was Mama's first time to have puppies!  She was a very good mama and fed us and cleaned us and we all three grew up to be very healthy puppies. The owner of my mama is JoAnne Johnson and she is a professional breeder who lives south of Seattle, Washington.  When my sisters and I were about five weeks old, my new owners came to look us over and picked me to be their new puppy.  Of course, I had to wait another three weeks before I could go to my new home as puppies should not leave their mamas before they are eight weeks old.

In mid-May my new owners came back to get me.  We have a four hour drive home but I was a very good puppy on the trip. 

 

My first day at my new home!

Below you can see a picture of me with my new siblings. Bailey is the senior "Princess" in the house at age 12 and she's ok but she really isn't into my puppy antics! Bogey is four years old and he is going to be great fun for playtime.  I think I am going to have a great home here.  Lots of good food, a huge yard for playtime, and I love to sleep in the master bathroom shower!

 

Here I am with my new family - Bogey (on the left), Me (in the middle), and Bailey (on the right)

Bogey really didn't think I should chew on his ears!!!
