Happy Days are Here Again – introducing Joni – 18/365
The house was just too empty. Now it is just SO full of bounce and happiness and joy! This new Joni came home with us on Saturday. She is (I'm sure I don't have to tell you) absolutely perfect. (Border Collie, of course.)
I must relate a little story of how Joni 3 came to be ours. We were going to see her, not sure if she was coming home with us, for many different reasons. She is related to our last Joni, the one we lost in October. When we had finished looking at her, patting her and watching her play with her siblings, we stood and chatted with her breeder. The puppies settled into two heaps in their play area and fell asleep together. When it came time to make a decision and go home with or without her, Steven looked at her in the pile of sleeping puppies and asked "well, are you coming home with us then?". She looked up, stood up alone, walked over to the edge of the play area and put her paws up on the top. No one else had moved. She chose us as much as we chose her. So of course she came home with us. Looking at her eyes, can you imagine turning her down? And now I have a new photography assistant apprentice.

Sweet story.
I'm sure all parties will be glad with their choice 😉
I just stumbled on this sweet news +Ellie Kennard and +Steven Kennard ! I'm happy for you both that your new Joni picked you. Puppies are so irresistible.
Thanks so much for your comment +Deborah Green – we feel the same, only more so, now, of course. My stream is filling with photos of the new Joni now.
