Introducing Guinness! He is one of Hope's (11-318) 10 puppies. He is a Golden Retriever/Black Lab cross and is cute as can be! He is one of the smaller pups with a mostly black coat with a white star like marking on his chest. He was born on Saturday, 9/24 making him 4 weeks old! Guinness is a boy that often is the first puppy I pick up! :) It is almost impossible to tell them apart without looking at their markings... so he just has a special charm about him that says "pick me!" He likes to play and has the cutest little bark when he gets excited :) The puppies are all thriving! They are busy exploring their world and being cute... which they are very good at! They are also very good at making a mess and making us laugh! They have recently started eating a softened kibble and drinking water from a bowl, in addition to nursing from their mom. The puppies LOVE to eat. I joke that my foster puppies are very "advanced" for their age..... because they live with a 2 1/2 year old little boy and they want to get the heck outta here :) Guinness has to stay with us and his brothers and sisters (and mama too) for awhile yet... but he is ready to meet that very special family that he will call his own when the time comes. Please let your placement advisor know if you are interested in meeting Guinness. Prepare to fall in love! Stay tuned and watch them grow :) A very special thank you to all of the supporters! So many very generous RAGOM volunteers and other dog lovers have gone above and beyond to make sure the puppies and Hope have everything they need. It takes a village, and we certainly feel the love and appreciate it very, very much! Guinness continues to be a very sweet puppy! He has longer wavy ears and will most likely resemble a Golden Retriever with a black coat as an adult. He will no doubt be a handsome boy :) Guinness has earned a bit of a reputation around here... he did some digging under the gate in the great puppy gate escape the other day :) The little stinker had a dirt filled nose and paws.... caught dirt handed :)
Guinness has a very special family waiting patiently to take him home! He will have a fellow RAGOM dog for a brother! What a lucky pair! :) His new mom and dad have visited him twice and his mom is hoping he will be a "mama's boy" - I think she will get her wish! Guinness seems to love falling right into that role :) He will have to wait about one week before moving to his new home. He has his neuter surgery on 11/23 and then will be heading of into the sunset a few days later. We are so excited for all of you! What a great match :)
