FROM THE BEGINING

This is my first attempt at blogging and our first time being a puppy raiser, we are in the learning process (that's including the puppy)

On October 29, 2010 a black, male, Labrador puppy was born, the Dame was Griffin and the Sire was Gunner.  The puppy was the first born of the litter and the largest.  On January 3, 2011 we brought this puppy home, at that time he was weighing close to 19 lbs.

His name is "PATRIOT"

Our Journey has begun

It has been a week since Patriot has joined our family.  It's like having a baby in the house again.  Feeding schedules, getting up during the night, potty training and toy boxes are again in our lives.  There is also much laughter at his antics and amazement of how smart he is.  This next 14 months are going to be an experience!

We hope that you will share this journey with us.
