Three years ago this weekend, a certain Pointer came home with us for the first time — can’t believe that it’s been that long already.
My favorite is the picture of her exploring our tiny yard. She was a puppy not any bigger than a hose-pot. That, and the Victory Lap.
Well — that was quick.
To really get PuppyQuest-2009 going, The Beloved and I went up to a dog show outside of LA this past weekend so that we could meet and greet some of the breeds we were considering for our next dog.
While we were there, we ran into several Pointers from a breeder not too far from where we live. They were all very sweet dogs — attentive, friendly and pretty relaxed.

Thanks LG! :)
Penny is pure joy. She has to be such a gift in your lives.
She sure has been, SS! :)
Oh, how exciting to add a new family member! And look at Penny! What a beauty! Love seeing pics of her, and can’t wait to hear more about pupppppiiiiiesssss!
Ooops….I was too hasty! Um, Happy Anniversary, Penny! (I thought you were getting another one!) LOL!
Oh Lauri — if we had more space (or if we were retired) I think we’d think about another pup. How much fun would that be!
Happy Adoption Day, Penny!
I’m late to the party, but Happy Anniversary to Penny and her lucky owners! Those puppy years are so short: I’m glad you got these photos, Steve.
HG — no one’s ever late on the internet. :)
I love that picture of her taking the victory lap! :)
