Some goodbyes take a little longer, and this one was worth every extra day.
Maisie stayed with us a few weeks past her go home date while her family got the new farm ready and finished up their summer vacation together. We could have seen that as an inconvenience. Instead it turned into one of our favorite stretches of the whole year. She got extra time in our kitchen, extra time in the yard, extra time being carried around by four kids who were in no hurry to give her up.
And then this happened. Look at that little girl's face. Look at how tightly she is holding on. This is exactly what we hope for every single time, a puppy who lands in a home where she is going to be adored, and a family who waited and planned and made sure everything was ready before she got there. Maisie hit the jackpot.
That is a wrap on our 2026 litter, and honestly, on one of the best years we have had. Every one of these puppies went to a family that loved them before they ever met them. We got the photos, the updates, the videos, the first day at the vet, the first swim. It never gets old.
To everybody who followed along this year, who liked and shared and commented and cheered these puppies on from all over, thank you. You made a little home based operation in Columbia, Tennessee feel like it had a whole extended family standing behind it. Our kids read your comments out loud at the dinner table. That is not something we take lightly.
Liberty and Junior get to rest now. We will keep sharing along the way, and we will see you next spring.
Thank you for a year we will not forget ๐
