Three found puppies turned into adults - one of whom just recently departed me. His name was Chaco - after the canyon in New Mexico, people used to stop me and tell me he was the most beautiful black lab they had ever seen - he was! The second is what I call a Mexi-poo (which, when read between the lines, means Mexican mutt- SHHH - don't tell him) His name is Sipapu, pronounced SEE-pah-poo. Which is the opening in the floor of a kiva where the Pueblo people emerged from the underworld into the glittering new world. The third is Chiqui, a herder breed of unknown origin whose name comes from actually being "cheeky" but needed a bit more flair! Btw, Ann Telnares recommended you and I am delighted!

Jayme it sounds like you hit the absolute jackpot with dogs. They sound amazing! 🐶

Very glad you’re here, thank you for sharing this. I’ll be in touch about a competition we’re running for the book soon.
