Gracie: Piper x Deacon Puppy Report

Gracie

Gracie was the pup I needed to NOT fall in love with! She was just so sweet and cuddly, and made amazing eye contact, it was very hard but I made sure to give her the same level of attention as the rest of the litter. ????

From her mom over the last week: Gracie is getting used to her new surroundings and enjoying the lamb chop toy immensely. Thank you for laying all the ground work for a smooth transition. Here’s a photo of Gracie with her favorite toy! She used to cry while carrying it around in her mouth. Now she pounces on it and prances around proudly while it’s in her mouth. She loves snuggles just as much!
