Unexpected Grace: Part VI

While all of this nursing was being done, my husband and daughter were holding down the fort at home.  There were meals to be made and a growing puppy to be cared for, and of course all of the things of everyday living.  

One desire of mine I discovered was nonnegotiable:  I wanted to attend a "puppy reunion" at the breeder's farm one Saturday not long after I found myself staying at Mom's.  Since my brother was coming to stay with my mom for the weekend, I told my husband that I would REALLY like to go to the farm as we had planned.

We tied a blue scarf around Evie's neck and drove north for an hour or two before we found ourselves at our breeder Julie Cook's home.  If you've never found yourself in a sea of golden retrievers, let me just say that the place was aptly named "Tranquility Farm!"  We were so happy to meet Carrie, the girl who owned Evie's father and helped to raise the litter.  The other dog owners from many different pairings from Golden Rose Kennel were just as relaxed and nice to be with as our favorite breed.  

Many thanks to my husband Jim for packing us up and helping to make that special day for us happen!!
