Bulletin: Zinnia! This Could Be It…

by Jon Katz

Okay, there’s the name thing: Lenore was my very loved Lab, now my Lab breeder. Then tonight, Lenore The Breeder is torturing me every time I see a puppy and ask if it’s Zinnia.

Now she sends me a video of a puppy surrounded by Zinnia’s, which is Lenore’s favorite flower. But guess what, it’s also Maria’s favorite flower, which is where I got the name for Zinnia.

I’m not superstitious or into omens, but when I saw this video, I thought, well this is Zinnia. I just felt it. Too many coincidences.

It’s up to Lenore, of course, which dog goes where, and I will respect her wishes, but I showed this video to Maria and she said: “Oh, My God, can we go and get her now?”

No, not yet. We’ll see the puppies in about five weeks, and if that is Zinnia, and Lenore thinks so – she is having a good time teasing me – we’ll bring her home around Thanksgiving.

I told Lenore this video is killing me. She laughed. I think you have to be tough to be a good breeder. Still, I have this feeling this is the one. She’s a female and she already has things to say.

  1. This is so very exciting. My granddaughter is beside herself. They are so round and soft and I just know they smell really delicious. Congratulations!!!!!!!! You totally scored.

  2. The synchronicity is staggeringly breathtaking! Quick vid of little Zin is a marvelous way to start the day. I’m with Maria, every cell in my body would be shouting to scoop her up immediately! Thanks for sharing the joy.
