FAMILY PHOTOS

Mom said I could post these photos that she got of a couple of my siblings.  Even though we are all from the same litter, they all look like our birth mom, (Zoelle).

This is my brother BETO  (he's the oldest)

This is my brother BOZ (he was born 2nd), (he's a smaller size boy, compared to me).

This is my sister Butterfly, (she the baby of the litter and is very dainty compared to the rest of us).



I can't wait until next February 2011, when we will all get to meet up again at Puppy College in San Diego at the Charles Shultz CCI Training Center.  It has been a long 5 1/2 months and sometimes I miss my brothers and sisters.  But I sure do love my mom and dad, and I know they love me.  Even though dad acts like he doesn't like me nibbling on his ear when I kiss him, I hear him giggling when I do it, (so I know he likes it).

Stay tuned for more postings.  Mom is going to try to get more photos of my other litter mates.

My New HALF-Sister

Today at Puppy Training Class, I finally got to meet my newest half sister who has come to Salt Lake City, Utah to be with their puppy raiser family -  her name is WINK.  Everyone says she looks just like a little me.  Mom and Dad said they can't remember my being that little and the moms in the class all laughed.  Dad then said "Well maybe Balsa was that little on the day she arrived, but that's it!!".  She is so soft with her little puppy fur and boy does she have sharp teeth!  We got some one-on-one playtime together and now I know how my poor sister Rowdy felt when I used to bite her.  But I was such a good girl, I played so gentle with Wink.  Wink's mom is worried that Wink will grow up fast and be a big girl like me.  Mom warned her that us Payton puppies are BIG PUPPIES.  So far my dad now has over 400 puppies sired and with a 60% graduation success rate, that means 240 lucky people might get service dogs and the other 160 could become Change of Career dogs. Next month another new half-sister WAFFLE will be coming to join the Salt Lake group.  These breeders sure are giving out funny names to us puppies lately!!  But we are one cute bunch if I do say so myself.  Stay tune for the next post - my mom got a couple of photos of some of my litter mates, and she said I can put them on my blog,  YEA, I am so anxious to share them.    Till next time, stay warm and watch where you step while you're out walking.
