    Asher is home at Nattering Springs at last! I picked him up in Danbury, CT, yesterday. His breeders have been incredible throughout the process. We spent the night in a less-than-optimal hotel, and I wound up leaving just before dawn (cleaning product odor was overwhelming!). Asher was perfect the entire time -- and that's a not-quite-eight-week-old puppy traveling from Ontario, Canada, to Northern Virginia!!!

    Asher is following The Monks of New Skete regimen, and so far, he's had no accidents and all systems are go. Penny and Loki seem fine with him, though Loki can be a bit impatient. Here's the new boy:

    Congratulations Chris! I’m so excited and happy for you! Asher looks absolutely adorable and I have no doubt following the Monks of New Skete regimen he’ll be housebroken in no time (I did this with Blueberry). What a good boy to travel all that way, sorry about the hotel…been there done that as they say (I’ve stayed in some nasty motels travelling with the dogs to shows!)
    I’m sure he’ll make himself at home in no time! This puppy will have the absolute best home ever!

    Absolutely Adorable, :) Sounds like you had a mini-adventure just going to get Asher. Looking forward to hearing about him settling into his new home. It won't take him long to figure out how lucky he is. Congratulations again.

    Oh. My. Gosh. He is SO handsome! Look at all that white on his face! Are his eyes all brown or some blue in them? He's a blondie like Meadow. Any obvious Merle markings? Congratulations - you look so happy and he's going to have the most wonderful life with you. Welcome, Asher!

    Asher in a sable merle, so his sable is diluted, and he's bi-factored.
