You probably remember that our adorable blind Lab puppy from Mississippi, Creighton, was adopted in early May by a wonderful couple in Olympia, Washington, Peggy and Matt M. They already have two blind chocolate Labs and thought Creighton would make a great addition to the family. Peggy reports that Creighton — who they renamed Emmitt Creighton III — is enjoying his new life and new companions. She just sent us these photos, which I thought you’d like to see.
In the photo above are Creighton and Bobby Lee, who Peggy calls "my two ‘no-eye dears.’" Peggy wrote, "This photo looks like Bobby Lee is the dad – but maybe more grandfather-like. There is an amazing resemblance in the ears and the head. I’ve often thought that Emmitt, with his little white soul patch, could have been named Dizzy Gillespie. He is prone to crooning (maybe more like baying) like I hear him doing right now outside."
And in this next photo, Emmitt Creighton III is playing tug-of-war with Peggy and Matt’s other blind chocolate Lab, Danni Rae:
Peggy wrote, "And yes, that’s Emmitt’s donut. He loves that thing. He’s torn it open and pulled out the stuffing at least half-a-dozen times, and I keep restuffing it and sewing it back up. It’s kind of like a kid and his favorite ‘binky’."
Thank you Peggy and Matt for giving this little boy such a fabulous home!
