It seems very quiet around Windy Knoll Farm. We’ve been quite busy over the last week sending our puppies off to their new homes. As of today, the last of our sweet little pups were united with their new owners, leaving an empty space behind! We are going to miss their delightful antics, special cuddles, fun playtimes, and plain old cuteness – but as Mary Grace very practically explained, when asked if she would miss the puppies, “Yes, but we’ll have more puppies again!” And we are so glad that now their new owners are experiencing the joy of their very own special little Golden Retriever! After all the time, labor, and love poured into raising our little goldens, it is a very satisfying and rewarding experience to witness the meeting of an individual or a family and their new pup, and to know that it’s just the beginning of a wonderful relationship for all involved!
We are so thankful to all of you who are providing such wonderful new homes for our goldens!
Sometimes, it’s just as special to see a new friendship developing between new and old furry family members! These two shared a calm, instant repoire! It was truly amazing to see!
With all the busyness of sending off all the puppies lately, I have hardly taken time to think of “life after puppies.” This afternoon, however, it suddenly hit me that in just a few short hours, we’d have no more puppies! So, what could I do but set aside other work, grab my camera, and head out to the puppy pen to grab one last chance at snuggles, play, and photos. When the children awoke from their naps, they joined me in a few last romps. We had a great time!
We’re so thankful we had the opportunity to care for and raise these fine pups for as long as we did! We’re equally thankful that each one of them is safely off to wonderful new homes and lives!
And we’ll look forward to new litters of goldens to enjoy next year!
