(one female, Blue, and one male, Stud-Muffin, remain)
Last Friday, a beautiful family from Wilmington made a 3.5 hour drive to North Durham Co. The four children ages 4-9 came across the front yard, as I coralled the mama, and papa dogs, and three pups near the gate in the backyard.
They watched big Bart jumping up and down excitedly, as Millie did some of her barking. Blue, who was used to being the center of attention was now going to play third fiddle, because these nice people had made the drive for a male.
The dad wanted the children to chose, and the process involved the puppies chasing the 5 year old boy around us excitedly. He laughed and grinned ear to ear, half nervous, but having the time of his life. The two male pups were too darn cute, and too sweet. The baby-dog looks of Stud-Muffin almost won out over the larger Rambone, but they came to agreement, and the winner was Rambone.
Rambone's forever home is just across the street from the ocean, with a dad that does some running, and little girls, and a boy that will probably smother him --that would be my dream if I were him. He definitely seems a lucky dog.
Stud Muffin currently has two people interested in him. Someone from coastal SC, and a guy from Lexington, NC, who might swing bye to see him on his way back from a fishing trip -- also in Wilmington.
Upon request, these are some picks of the now 17 lb Stud-Muffin from this evening 9/29/14.
