Zinnia, Where Are You?

by Jon Katz

The photos and videos just keep getting better and better.

Lenore Severni, the owner of Stonewall Farms Labradors, and the breeder who is selling me one of her puppies send me this photo this evening.

I can’t say I know which one of these pups is Zinnia, but I love seeing them now that their eyes are open, and they have begun exploring the world.

I had a wonderful dog rescue experience with Bud, and I’m feeling the same way about Zinnia. I love the way these dogs look, and I appreciate Lenore’s sharing so many photos and videos with me.

Zinnia is on track to come to Bedlam Farm in mid-November, and we are already getting prepared. I am always excited to get a new dog, and I can’t wait to see what Zinnia is like and if it’s appropriate, to begin her therapy dog training.

I have many socialization volunteers at Jean’s Place, Carroll’s Trading Post,  the Cambridge Dental offices, Bishop Maginn High School. I’m building a foundation of love and trust.

I appreciate Lenore’s thoughtfulness and diligence in breeding her line of dogs.

I think this dog will be much loved and will return her love to the world.

  1. There are no words except the usual…so cute and adorable! I’m sure you’re counting the days until you see these little Sugar Babies and you are actually able to choose your lovely Zinnia.

  2. Starting my day with these lovely puppies again.
    Socialization is so important isn’t it? The one cat we now have, an elderly 13 year old, was born with us and 3 litter mates. From the day their eyes opened thy were cuddled and played with by us and daily by our neighbor’s very gentle children who came over before and after school each day.
    As a result this cat of ours is the first we’ve ever had who lets us stroke his tummy–endlessly. Every other cat would dislike this and immediately get busy with claws.
    Pancho has no fear of anything; a startlingly friendly animal.
