Lechler kennel and B&B

I had forgotten how much work a new puppy is, but oh the joy.  Alyssa flew in from New Orleans and she and Beth drove four hours (there and back) to pick up this little jewel who is peeking out the plane window checking out Southwest safety features. Bella and Fergie do not miss her at all, but Winston and Posy thought she was the berries.

These Lechler ladies and Pam Taylor will be going to Paris and Italy in June. What an adventure they will have. Kathy isn't pictured but she and her daughter Alex are going making a total of six. So it is: Our Beth, Kathy, Alex, Pam Taylor, Pam, and Mary Susan.  Mary Alice is in the picture, but she is not going.

Nate has selected Hawaii for his yearly trip.  He will go to his brother in Colorado to ski and snowboard at the beginning of his trip, then fly to Hawaii and return to Colorado for another stay.  All in twenty days of adventure.

What a week end.  I feel like I am running a kennel and a B&B.  It was so much fun having Alyssa and her new puppy to visit.  She and Beth had to drive four hours (there and back) to pick her up, but she was worth it,  I had forgotten how much work a new puppy is, see, that is forgotten too.  Bella and Fergie (dogs) wanted nothing to do with this interloper, but Winston and Posy were very good hosts. Alyssa will be a good dog owner and a thoughtful, caring mother to her new puppy.  She is one lucky dog.
