Although we never recommended that puppies go home at Christmas, we usually tried to have a female due soon after the New Year. January and February can be dark, bleak months, but inside it was “puppies in the kitchen” time. It made the winter go quickly, and we bonded with those puppies particularly. The puppies would not be ready to go to their new homes until mid-March, a much better time to housebreak a puppy than winter.

There she noted the date, occasion, and her name. Could there be more joy from a gift? Considering that she still has the book after all these years should be a hint. That the book is mine cannot be a surprise.
