Our kids!

Madelain (dark brown) was probably a Lab/Husky/Pointer.  Nan got her as a free pup at the Bayfield County Fair in Wisconsin in 1995.  Even in her golden years, Maddy made at least 1 patrol around the property daily.  It was a sad time when Maddy left us in June 2008.

Valkyrie (tan) is a Chocolate Lab/Golden Retreiver.  She is out of a very large litter of pups in Olivet Michigan in 2002.  Val is the sweetest (and fastest!)
dog you'll ever meet.  Val loves to ambush people and other dogs.

Bernadette Manuelito (beige) is a Husky/Shepard/Lab/Hound (?) born in June 2008.  Bernie had one heck of a puppyhood - we didn't think she'd ever become a good dog.  It was all worth it though.  Bernie is well behaved, tolerant, beautiful and she is our Mini-Maddy.  She somehow acquired a bunch of Maddy's manerisms.

Fergie is a yellow Lab born in April 2009.  She's a great dog - easygoing and lovable.  Of course Fergie loves to swim in our pond, she also catches birds (live).

Izzy is a Lab/German Shorthair Pointer born May 2010.  She's sassy though and her Aunties don't know what to think of that :)  She is our resident rodent hunter.
