“Hi Jennifer,
I hope the fall is being nice to you. I very much enjoy all of your farm updates.
My Pinewood pup is Molly, formerly Pansy from the Flower and Noah litter. I believe today is her eighth birthday..
This is Molly at home in Lacey today. She will be going to Iowa for Thanksgiving, and then down to Palm Desert for most of the winter. She’s a great traveler, and a lovely loving addition to our family.
Thanks, Jennifer”

“Always ready for hugs & always on the look out.
We adore these brothers- both are proud like their “dad”- “fancy” Clancy, & their Pinewood heritage.
All the best from the “H” family”

Toby was Blue from Clancy and Treasure’s “cheese” litter. And Shadow was Bagel from Clancy & Sage’s “bread litter”. Bread and cheese always goes good together! 😉
Cami is doing really well! She has become very playful and the sounds that seemed to grab her attention at first have become routine.
Her and Oso spent 4 hours together with us inside our home over the weekend with no problems at all.
She is such a joy! We love having her as a member of our family.
Just a quick note from Sage’s mom❤️
“Sage, just out of the bath!😁 My mom says I’m the most beautiful dog, even though I need a spa day! “
“Jennifer,
Hard to believe that Georgia Sue (all dogs need a middle name) is turning 8 today. She loves her morning walk, running around with a ball in her mouth (dropping it is another thing), snuggling and napping on the couch. Her biggest disappointment in life is that I can’t read her mind when she stares at me!
She is best of buddies with her Pinewood sister, Nessie, and they’re rarely far apart. They’re both convinced that everyone they meet should be their new best friends!
Thanks for bringing these balls of fluff and love into our lives!”
“Hi Jennifer,
Hope you are having a nice Saturday. We realized it was Norman’s birthday today and thought we’d share a little pupdate with you. We love him so much and he has grown in to such a great dog. It’s difficult to sum up his personality because he has a lot of it! I think the simplest thing to say is that not a day goes by where he doesn’t make us laugh or at least put a smile on our faces because of something silly that he’s done. He loves everything and everyone, but most of all his toys – we finally caved and bought a chuck-it this summer to level up our fetch game. Thanks for all you do and raising great dogs.”

I know occasionally you post updates on former puppies so if you want one see below (no pressure). I hope you are doing well! Regardless I can safely say Zoe, formerly Freedom, is living her best life.
❤️I received a note this weekend from what we can the official “Pinewood Retirement Home” as they’ve adopted several adults over the years and have become like family to us. ❤️❤️❤️
“Since you posted a pic of Asher, I thought you might like to see our girls taking their daily rest!
Much love, E”
Girls in the picture are our sweet retirees Glory, Joy (sisters of Hope) and Rosie.
I don’t talk about this a lot, but our family observes the Bible Sabbath as a day of rest from the chaos of the world. It’s the only day our Creator said to “remember”. He made it for us, to reconnect and spend time with him and the things He created for us. It’s also a day to connect with like believers, to get out in nature, and to spend time with family. It’s a 24 hr period from Friday night sundown to Saturday night sundown to leave the cares of this world behind.
So we take a day off from doggie “business” and other regular work that we do the other six days. Obviously the needs of people and animals are taken care of still.
This past weekend our church had their annual church campout in the woods. The place that was chosen was a good two-hour drive from home and though we couldn’t go for the whole campout, we did go for Sabbath (Saturday).
One benefit of being so far out in nature was there was no cell phone reception! Boy, did I need a break from that! (A lot of people turn their phones off for that 24 hr rest period. But since it’s one day when the kids are more likely to check in, I leave mine on.) When we got home and back to cell reception, there was a lively conversation going on in the family message thread with 45 messages!
It also got us out of the smoke in our area. The lake we went to was beautiful. The air was clear, with a slight a breeze, the sun was out and it was so peaceful.
We enjoyed church outdoors in a rustic amphitheater nestled in the woods, had a delicious potluck lunch of taco salad with friends, went for a nice walk through the forest and just enjoyed a quiet day in nature.
And of course, I couldn’t leave home without at least one dog in tow. *wink
Much to hubby’s annoyance, Cajsa sat in the back seat and panted into his ear and drooled down his shoulder much of the ride. You see, I had Dally’s crate behind me so Cajsa had to sit behind him. And poor Dally… maybe I shouldn’t have picked a mountainous, windy road trip for her first big trip away from home. She got so carsick. By the time we arrived her bed was wet with drool and that morning’s regurgitated breakfast.
Thankfully, her tummy settled down after a while and she ate a late lunch and had quite an adventurous day. And I remembered I had some children’s Dramamine so I gave her part of one for the drive home and she did much better.
Have a great week everyone and don’t forget to turn your phone off once in a while 😉
