Neighbors watched the puppies thrive and became attached. It was difficult to think of the tiny canines going to strangers, Hoffmann said. They took a male, Moses. Mike and Nancy McCaulley took Kolby. Warren and Kathleen Zimbehl took a female, Toska, then opened their home to Kodiak, one of the original puppies who was adopted off the block but needed a new home several years ago.
Newcomers are welcome to party.
Kevin Cooper and Liz Conners moved to the street about four months ago from New York and have eagerly mixed. The Zimbehl's grown children, Mark and Eric, often bring a dish, along with Dale and Cindy Hendrick, Brandon Gifford, Laura Reeves, Marc Edmonds, Mellanie Semler, and Tom and Sherrill Leppich. Those are the adults. They have more than a dozen children. It isn't just a party place.
