ESTHER BROWN PELTON

ESTHER BROWN PELTON

We're proud to announce the addition of a furry friend to our clan. Esther Brown Pelton was born in Newcomb, NY on February 8, 2014. Dave and Ruth Olbert of Cloud-Splitter Outfitters www.cloudsplitteroutfitters.com/ in Newcomb raised "Trouble" until we picked her up at 10 weeks old and named her Esther Brown. We adopted her on April 21.She's a mix between a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and a Spinone Italiano. Esther is smart, affectionate, observant, and quite vocal. She changes from Gremlin to Gizmo several times per day. Her feet are as webbed as can be. She'll definitely follow in Ellie's paw strokes. Ellie and Esther were both born along the Hudson River.
