Updates

Seems like time for a "facelift" of the blog.  The traveling theme does not seem to fit these days as age and COVID put a lid on our travel, at least for a while.  In the meantime we want to journal, for ourselves as much as for our friends, the growth of our newest family member Misty.  Her breeder sends us regular photo updates and this one is from yesterday.  Not much change in a couple days of course but it is a good picture to share.

Misty at almost 5 weeks, still nursing.

.... and The Beginning Of A New One.

In our last post we said good-bye to our motorhome and became pretty much land locked in the Desert.  With the Covid Pandemic I suppose we would have had the same experience with or without the coach parked here since there were few places to go.

Today we started on a new adventure of a different nature.  We paid a deposit on a "Wolfe Sable" Pomeranian named "Misty".  Misty is only 4 weeks old and still nursing so we have only met her via photos and videos.  She really does not have a developed immune system yet so we must keep our distance for her safety.  If all goes well she will come home with us in mid January from the breeder who,  luckily for us, only lives a couple miles away.

It has been many years since we owned a dog and never one this small.  Misty will probably top out at around 5 pounds if she is like her dad pictured below.  Right now she really does not look much at all like what she will look like as an adult. 

Misty's dad is on the left (the smaller one).

Our kitty, Peanut, who now weighs 12.5 pounds really needs a playmate and based on her interaction with dogs that have come here to visit we are confident that she and Misty will get along great once we get thing broken in and settled.  

Here is a short video of Misty from a few days ago.  She will change rapidly over the next few weeks.


So the video did not post well in the email many of you get.  If you are viewing the post in our blog the video should work fine.  If you are not in the blog you can see the video by viewing this post at www.waltandarlyene.blogspot.com .   Otherwise here is a still of Misty at 4 weeks.
