Puppy Power

It's been three months since we lost Shelby, a.k.a. "Little Fat Girl", and already a year since we lost Maggie. We still miss them tremendously and I (personally) wasn't in a rush to get another dog, but it's amazing what power a cute little puppy can have over me! Dave knew Clearview Kennels (where we had boarded Maggie and Shelby on occasion) had two pregnant momma dogs that were due in March. To me that meant only one thing - that we were indeed getting a new dog and fairly soon at that!

What does that mean to an outsider? Simply put, when Dave says, "We'll just look", it's safe to say that we will indeed be taking something home, be it a puppy or other new "toy". That is how we ended up with Maggie and Shelby (a year apart) among many other things we have obtained over the years.

Anyway, we found out the pups had been born so Dave and Des went to go take a peek at them and loved them of course. The next week, the four of us went and visited with the puppies for a while. They were 10 days old and their eyes were about to "pop"/open at any time. What a treat! They were these sweet little creatures that looked like helpless little moles. That may not sound very adorable, but they were! By the next time we see them (next week), they will have their eyes open and start having their own little personalities - THEN we will pick which little girl will be going home with us.

Puppy Power indeed!
