Elway 06-010 [1]

1/7/06: Everyone give Elway (Scoots to me) a great big hand - he made it from Iowa to Apple Valley, MN! This wonderful little boy did great ? he is currently 8 weeks old, 7 or 8 pounds at the most and will head to the vet tomorrow for a quick check and shots.

Have you ever seen Star Wars? Well I am here to say this little boy (which I was told was a girl and called him Elise for the first 12 hours. Then hubby said ? excuse me ? we have a male here! So once again, I can not tell the difference in sexes) looks just like a baby Ewok. He has the most precious little face; you just want to cuddle him. Scoots Elway had a mother that was a Flat-Coated/Golden Retriever mix and dad was a Golden Retriever. If you have never heard of a Flat-Coated Retriever, take a look at some of these pictures from the Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America http://www.fcrsainc.org/photogallery/ [2].

I will be writing more in the next couple of days on our wonderful little Scoots Elway, but I wanted to welcome him to the neighborhood and get his picture out here just in case someone would like to see him, since he won?t be around long. Send a note to Placementragom [dot] org and let's get together.
