Nugget @ 7 wks old
It seems like a lot has happened since I last posted in June. Of greatest note is that a friend and I made a whirlwind trip to Wisconsin to pick up a very sweet Chesapeake puppy to add to our canine family. Nugget is her name and she is a spunky wee Chesapeake that comes from Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes in North Carolina.
Nuggets registered name is “Whiskey Creeks Precious Mettle” The definition of “Mettle” is: ability to cope well with difficulties; of extraordinary spirit and resilience. Kathy Case gave Nugget this name, because at 12 days old, Nuggets 11 litter mates were gaining ounces while she was only gaining an 1/8th of an ounce. After a vet visit confirmed there was nothing wrong with Nugget, Kathy took her home and began bottle feeding her. She remains a small girl with a ton of spirit and resilience.
Nugget’s arrival here seemed rather unexpected, but there are no coincidences and everything happens for a reason. She fits in well and it feels like she has always been here. She truly is a wonderful gift. Thanks to Kathy Case of Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes, she arrives well loved,socialized and ready to take on what every comes her way.
