Marta,
I love them both. Very pretty with nice heads. Can't wait so see them grow up a bit. Goldens stay so darned cute even during the gangly stages.

We breed them and nurture them and want them to adapt to their new homes but when they do, we feel as if they should miss us somehow . We keep getting the puppies back while folks go on vacation (whatever that is) and the owners hate it when they come home and the pups are very happy to stay with grandpa Jim and grandma Linda.

Of course, this place has a lot of dynamics for puppies including their mom, grandpa Rowdy who loves to play with them, brother Sundance who loves to play with them, and the rest of the pack which is something they don't get at their permanent homes. Plus, I spend some time training them which helps rebond them to me. I know -- I'm rotten. But I want them to love me their entire lives.

In terms of names, I must admit I'm a bit confused. If it's a Popeye litter, why not call them the names you've been using? Why does the call name have to be different than the "litter" name? Just wondering.

Nice puppies, Marta. Good job.

Jim
