Chevel has gone to live with our friends Bob and Nancy. Bob is a Motor Sargeant in the Rocklin Police Dept. and Nancy works with me. They were thrilled to have the opportunity to adopt Chevel - and as it turned out, Bob and Chevel have the same birthday! Happy CCI ending!
This is Chevel - she came home the day before her 2nd birthday. She's 3/4 Golden and 1/4 Lab - a very lovely girl who is very fun to have around.
But, wait - there's more! Chevel (pup #6) was released from AT the same day that Izzy came home. Seems that Chevel didn't want to share her toys with the other CCI AT pups, so they bounced her from training after 4 months in the kennel. Her training reports had indicated this new game for 3 months, so we know that her trainer worked very hard to change her behavior. We were happy to see her and she demonstrated her new bad habit with Izzy (but didn't even try it on the older girls at home!). This photo is of Piniella checking out Izzy while Izzy checks out Chevel - Dennis in the middle on the dog bed...
Izzy immediately made herself right at home - Piniella (great-grandma) usually has to teach the pups that she is boss - but she was pretty calm with Izzy's arrival and has been helping with babysitting.
We'll be puppy raising Izzy, so after one night off from puppies, Izzy came home again. Here she is with her mom on her first night back. The green ear is a remnant of the tattoo she received at CCI that day. They put a big old glob of green stuff on the puppy's ear, then press the green stuff into the skin with a little tool with tiny pins that make up a number. It happens really fast - but the green stuff takes a while to go away.

Awww I'm so glad you found Chevel a good home. A breeder caretaker and a puppy raiser too. What an amazing commitment of time and dedication to CCI! :) I look forward to reading about Izzy's further adventures. :)
