While you're reading this post, hum a version of Crazy (Patsy Cline, Gnarls Barkley or anyone who sings a song about people losing their common sense!)
When we bred the three girls this spring, we thought we would add one puppy from each litter to our kennel. I was so adamant that I would only keep one puppy from Lauren and that was going to be Tucker. Well, then of course Claire wasn't pregnant and Jewel was just what we wanted from that breeding, so it made sense to keep her. O.K., we had planned on adding three and had added two, so it's not like we're loading ourselves down with dogs. When we learned Phoebe was only having one puppy, we were disappointed and played the what if game--what if she had had more than one, wouldn't it be nice if she had a good tri? A week after losing the puppy, we started to really notice Dot. Of course, people have said she's striking, she's beautiful, she has a good head and is she available? We really wanted her in a show home but then started to get picky. Not a show home like we were ten years ago--if she finished good, but she was really a pet so it wouldn't matter. No, we wanted her in a home where she could make her mark, the type of home we'd give her--if we were keeping a third pup from the litter. So guess what's happened? Her name is now Sadie, Ellen has given us good suggestions for her registered name and she made her first trip to Hamburg Doner! Picture to follow later this week!
