LOL I love it! "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine too"

I've been a "lurker" on here for a bit. We will hopefully be getting a puppy in MAY (I know....so long to wait but we found the perfect breeder so now we just save, save save and wait!) Thankfully the breeder is only 10 minutes away so hopefully we can break up the wait with visits once they are actually born (and healthy). Mind you the breeding hasn't even happened yet but I am so excited!

Anyway, I have been living vicariously through your pictures and stories. I cannot wait until we see pics of "no name".

awww Slowtea, that is how it was for us. We had to save and wait. It was back in April or May when we first contacted the breeder and then we had to wait for a litter. But it is soooo worth it and I feel like this waiting bonded us even closer to the breeder.

My phone is about to die, but here is a sneak peek of (you guessed it) CHARLIE! The name just fits him. He was pretty scared at first. Luckily I brought a big cat crate with us, and he crawled right in and slept most of the way home, with some occasional crying. No accidents in the car, so it was a good trip!



Once we got home, we took Charlie straight to his puppy safe zone and fed him lunch. The cats watched suspiciously.


Then Charlie did his business outside and we threw a little party. Woohoo! Then we gave him a bath which really settled him down. Now he and Adam are napping on the couch, and I'm about to join in! I'm exhausted!

Congratulations!! I think he looks like a Charlie, too! And he's absolutely precious! Good idea for everyone to take a nap-so you're rested up for tonight.
Keep the pictures and stories coming-so happy for you!!

I am trying to take a break from watching and reading about the sorrow in Connecticut tonight. Such a horrible thing. My heart breaks for those families.
Tonight was a lesson for me about what may constitute a little TOO much socialization.
We decided to take Thelma Lou to hubby's work party for a little bit. We only live about 3 minutes away so we could take her there and bring her home after a little while.
Everyone loved her. There was plenty of stimuli (lights, decorations, music, balloons, etc) and it was definitely living up to the "a tired puppy is a good puppy" standard. But little girls wanted to walk her around, there was stuff on the floor, pizza at eye level, etc. it was too much stimuli for ME. I had to bring her home much sooner than I planned because it was impossible to relax with so many dangers for her.
I carried her out to the car and she snuggled up to my neck. I held her on my lap (not ideal, but it was only a mile) and she immediately fell asleep. I carried her in to her crate and she went right back to sleep while I headed back to the party.
So. Lesson learned.
Here is some cuteness for today. I used her as the "puppy alarm" to get the boys up this morning, but she was pretty ineffective. She licked their faces, then snuggled under the covers and went to sleep with them...
