Emily is home

Went to pick up Emily on the 22nd of December...




Here's her first meal at our home.




Tired puppy.





Christmas Eve with the remote.

Introducing Emily

After thinking about what order to put our top four picks in, we submitted the final list to Kris (breeder). She wrote back a few days later to let us know we'd be getting one of out top two choices. Find out last week that we ended up with our first pick! Here are some picks of Emily, who will be coming home with us on Saturday the 22nd. We've already bought a bed, nice blanket, crate, toys, food, etc. and Nina (stepmom) got some gifts for Emily's stocking but we have yet to open those items, of course.

3rd puppy visit

We visited the puppies last night...they're 7 weeks old today and almost ready to take home. Our guess is that 12/22 (Sat) is the day we'll bring little Emily home. The list of pups we're interested in has been created and now need to prioritize and then send it to Kris (the breeder). Prioritizing is tough as the pups are all so cute and I don't want to seem picky. And, it's sad to think of separating these little guys from one another as they have so much fun together.

Kris is keeping one of the puppies and it's nice to know that when we return for the 12 and 16 week immunizations, our pup will get to play with a littermate, it's Mom, and the two other dogs (Maizey and Melody) that Kris and Daren have.

We expect to know exactly which pup will become Emily by next weekend and then bring home a little live creature to. Sometimes I feel silly, as we seem like it's a human baby or something. But then, I let that go...we're excited and it's great to share that excitement.

They're getting playful now.

This last one is funny, the pups eyes are barely open..."I'm so sleepy but don't want to miss out on the action".

Makayla and I visited the puppies on 12/4/07. As you can see, we had loads of fun. Man, time goes by so quickly when playing with these little fellers.

Sean's 1st puppy visit

I visited the puppies for the first time today. They're exactly five weeks old and cute as all get out. I'm not sure how we're going to pick out just one of 'em to take with us. It was fun to play with the pups for about an hour and then they all took a nap at once. One even slept between my legs! We're planning to visit again next Saturday, stay tuned for those pics. --Sean
