Puppy Love: Duncan, the Borador

     Just shy of six weeks, Duncan Connor MacLoed, was adopted from a farm in rural Illinois. His mother was a mostly white border collie and his father was a black laborador retriever. Adorable, as most puppies are, he was especially vulnerable and endearing because he was very young. However he was weaned and the owners were anxious to find homes for the ten pups, so with one look we were hooked on all three pounds of that little Borador.
     The hook sank deepest into Rissy, who begged to visit quite often during those first couple of weeks. Puppy Dunc was showered with lots of attention and presented with an array of sleeping and carrying options, even a bread basket (above) that had heretofore been used on the dinner table. Rissy informed her mother that when she was sixteen, she was going to get her own puppy (mother responded in the affirmative - that a puppy would be much cheaper than a car!)
