Coullah 101


Who is this little Blue??
Name:
Brighthope's Aftershock "Coullah"

Our new little Blue was named after the Ontario Earthquake of 2010.  She was actually born the day of the earthquake - June 23 - hence the name, "Aftershock".   So that makes today, April 23, her 10th month Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Coullah!!!

Happy Girl!!!
Doggie parents:

Mom: Shireoak Eye of the Storm, "Marne"
Dad:  Ch. Brighthope Free Reign "Reign"

So, to get the lineage straight:  Suede is Zoë's dad.  Reign is Suede's son.  So, that makes Zoë and Coullah second cousins. But we're just going to refer to them as 'sisters'!!

Her first night with her new family:

What a lovely little girl!  She slept throughout the night - so did Zoë for that matter.  A wee bit of snoring, but that's it.  We have been so impressed with Coullah.  We took her away from Brighthope, the only home she's ever known and asked her to live with us.  It must have been overwhelming.  New people, new dog, new house, new smells, new sounds, new routine.....  With all of this, she has been so good.  So much to ask from a wee pup.  All we can do is love her and hope that her transition will continue to be a smooth one. 

I know that Zoë is doing her best to welcome her new forever friend...

Hi Debbie!

We were a little anxious about introducing Coullah into our home, and to Zoë, but so far so good. Zoë has been great - sharing all of her 'stuff'.

Hopefully see you at the Picardy Picnic this summer!!

Congratulations on having Coullah join your family. I haven't checked out your blog for a long time. Now you are in for double the fun. You may not remember who I am but we met at the puppy party and Brie is the little girl of our family.

Hi Tina!

Of course I remember you! Having to Blues is a ton of fun - Zoë is really enjoying the company. It's so cute when they cuddle together. We recently started leaving them alone again - with Coullah uncrated and they've been really good.... now, or course, I just jinxed myself!!

Hope to see you at the Picardy Picnic this fall!
