Vin was the smallest of Faith’s five surviving puppies, weighing only 11.3 ounces at birth. On his 7-month birthday, he weighed 47.6 pounds and is still gaining about 2 pounds per week, so he’s no longer small! He was also the only puppy in the litter who had a smooth coat, but now that he has matured some, the fur on his back has become wavy. He loves everyone and every other dog, thanks to the incredible socialization he got during his first 12 formative weeks. So many people came to visit the puppies, handle them and play with them, and, of course, the puppies interacted with the four resident adult dogs at the adopters' home. They just had to adopt him! Deb started taking Vin to AGR events when he was just 3 months old. He spent most of the day at the 2-day Phoenix Pet Expo lying in a crate on top of a table at the back of our booth; the rest of the time he was in someone’s arms being cuddled. He loves to go to Meet-and-Greets and play with the other dogs who come. At home he is constantly trying to play with any of the resident dogs who will accommodate his puppiness – 10 ½-year-old Dolly doesn’t tolerate him for very long; almost-7-year-old Mufasa will play with him occasionally, but his best bud is 3-year-old Duffy. In early June, Vin very much enjoyed a 4-day visit with brother Murphy when Murphy’s adopters had to go out of town. He is a very loving, playful little rascal who is learning what NO means. The adopters kept his Magnificent Seven name. |
