John used to teach history at the Hofstra University on Long Island, and he retired in 2000. He was surprised when four years ago he received e-mail from Ginna, who used to be his student. As it turned out John was her favorite teacher, and she named her first daughter after him - Jeanneney. Well... how cool is that? I have to admit that I feel some sympathy for Jeanneney as I know how difficult it is to pronounce this name properly. But it is my last name, not my first name so I can't even imagine how Jeanneny handles her name in every day situations. She also goes by JC.
Jeanneney is now twelve and a half years old, and today she visited us together with her mom Ginna and her younger sister Dominique. They played with Bella and then with our almost five-week-old puppies. It was a great opportunity to start a process of socializing puppies with unfamiliar people and kids. There is a lot of good information on the web why socialization is important so there is no need to repeat it. For a good article on the topic

It was good to see Jeanneney and her family again. After pups had fallen asleep John took them on a short drive of the area that was devastated by Irene.
The damage is the nearby Schoharie is just unbelievable.
