Patricia has different color collars for each pup and named them by the collar color. This is Miss Burgandy, and she is the one we picked to become Taylor. |

Second Visit |
There was a clay pot that the pups seemed to be drawn to when they got tired. They would play for perhaps 45 minutes and then head for the pot for a nap. It's a pretty tight fit. |

We visited again on Jan. 10. We got there late so we didn't get many good shots. This was the visit where we picked out Miss Burgandy as the pup we wanted. Here Miss Burgandy / Taylor is sitting up next to 3 litter mates. |

Jim built this great play area for Taylor. Unfortunately, she only likes it when someone else is in with her, so she spends very little time there. |
