Hawkeye & Hayden - Charlie/Silas 2016 & Charlie/Goose 2019

​Hello Snitker family,
 
Wanted to check in during the midst of this pandemic.  Hoping you are all safe and healthy.  The “brothers” are doing great.  During January, Hawkeye/Hayden spent about 3 weeks training with Anna Childs at Adelhorst Kennels.  She ended up keeping Hayden for another few weeks after that. We got them back home just before the pandemic hit here. Thank goodness.
 
  Anna and her daughter at Adelhorst kennels,  LOVED both of the boys but Hayden captured a special place in their hearts as he has all of us.  Hayden is doing great. We have an “in training” service vest on him.  Before the pandemic hit, we were taking Hayden to nursing homes, group homes and where people with disabilities have day programs.  He was and is doing FABULOUS.  We couldn’t ask for a better boy.  However, right now we are staying home and can’t do service work. We will get back to it once there is a vaccine for this nasty COVID-19.
 
Hawkeye and Hayden are inseparable.  They sleep together, eat together, play together and follow each other around.  Peas in a pod.  However, we definitely know we picked the wrong name out for Hayden.  He should have been named, porky, piglet, soda, hoagie or biscuit; something “food” related.  He is a pig when it comes to his food bowl.  
 
Here are some pictures of the boys. Hayden has grown from little guy into a big guy.  We love them both dearly and are so blessed to have them and you guys in our lives.
 
Please stay safe and healthy. 
 
Blessings to all of you, your families and the dogs. 
 
Love, Richard, Lynne Schaefer – Hawkeye and Hayden (bark, bark)
