I have a puppy update for ya!  My family made the trip to meet the puppy today.  The breeder is only 90 minutes away but with a 6 yr old and two 2 1/2 yr old little divas it can seem like an eternity.  So I was prepared.  I had drinks, sweet and salty snacks, candy and of course many wipes and diapers, toys and movies.

So we head out (west of course so the sun is in our eyes!) and the kids are screaming and bouncing all over the place and my husband is getting irritated so I hand out the first snack (salty).  That lasts about 15 mins and this continues until I finally get a movie going and the sun goes down a little.  Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel...  

 Everything is going smoothly and then we hit a Detour.  We don't know where we are and it's not like a detour in the city this is farmland so if you're on a road there's no close street to turn around.  Anywho..

We get there and we are all sooooooooooo excited, so excited, so excited, so excited!  The owner/breeder opens the door and invites us in and seems very friendly and down to earth, thank goodness!  We get a quick introduction and go to see the dogs.  The dogs were in a little kennel and they had two grown females and then the 8 puppies.  

OMGooooooooooodness they were all so adorable!  Like 8 little stuffed animals running all over and you just wanted to hug them all!  As usual Vanessa was a little afraid and Anna just jumped into the mix.  Marcus was very excited, I was thrilled but worried about the kids trampling the pups and Eric had a million questions and his lists of course. 

I was very happy to see the grown females were not as big as I thought they'd be.  The breed is Bullmastiff so I was worried. 

One of the goals of the visit was to pick a puppy to take home in two weeks.  We wanted a female and we really wanted to try to get a feel for their personalities to find a good fit for the family.  The puppies were all over the place playing with each other so it was really hard to figure out which ones were even female especially since the entire time I was mostly concerned with the kids getting into trouble or trouncing on a poor puppy! 

Then the wonderful breeder picked up a puppy and told us she thought this one would be best for us.  She brought to us a beautiful fawn female that was laid back, just like us!  This little puppy is sooo pretty and we immediately all fell in love with her as she let us rub her belly and licked us all!  So then the breeder put the other puppies away and we spent some time with our soon to be new addition!

So we're gonna have a fawn laid back little lady in the house soon and we need a name!  My husband likes Jazz but there is nothing jazzy about this dog.  This dog is a snuggler, a lover, a sweetie, a huggie-bear....  I'm starting to warm up to the name Honey.  So now my strategy is to get my babies to start saying Honey and then I think we can overtake my better half!  Can't wait!  Thanks for reading!
