LOL! (Personally, I was more amazed at Daniel LOL).&nbsp; Daniel thought child rearing was going to be a breeze because he had nearly perfected the art of discipline and training with his incredible dog before Noah arrived.&nbsp; His big sister simply shook her head and laughed.&nbsp; Now Daniel shakes his head and laughs.&nbsp; Bird obeyed much better than Noah! LOL!&nbsp; I have no doubt Noah will learn to obey in more than one language and I also bet he will learn to command in both as well! (Have I mentioned how much I love my little munchkin lately?:)<\/p>\n<p>So the point is, Babe and Tramp seem to produce incredibly intelligent offspring with wonderful dispositions.&nbsp; I think at least 12 other families really need to experience the joy of adoption so I&#8217;ll be waiting to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. To Zack, Liz, and lil&#8217; Grace&#8230;.yes I will post puppy pictures just for Grace!:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Daniel and Candice!&nbsp; They will be placing a brand new baby girl border collie\/golden retriever into their ever growing family!&nbsp; Score 2 points for this author who has effectively placed our first puppy for adoption!&nbsp; (That should make you happy Jodi!&nbsp; Aren&#8217;t you proud of me?)
