The Day We Met

Niamh’s Misty Meadow Branwen Brandy, was born on January 8, 2007 at 5:30 pm..  She was the first born of 11 puppies, 9 of which survived. NIAMH’S MISTY MEADOW BRANWEN is the daughter of the beautiful Red Fern Anya and our wonderful Tapderro’s Black Majesty (Trevor).   We saw her for the first time on January 17th, the day before what would’ve been our Niamh’s tenth birthday.  The picture to the right (click on for full size) is of Brandy in my hands.  When I first held her, she sniffed my hands and then as I held her closely she sniffed my face and snuggled down into my hands and briefly went to sleep.  Then, as I stroked her chin she suckled my finger and as I sat her up this picture was taken.  She is a beautiful lil girl.  Her name, which mean white raven in Welsh, took on a special meaning as she has a white marking on her body that looks like a white bird in flight.  We want to thank our friend at Red Fern Farms for making this all possible.  A big thanks to Trevor and Anya and especially to God for this special lil puppy.   Below you will see a picture of Branwen and I when we first met….   – – -= = = = =
