We're expecting...sort of...

It was about this time last year that Davey and I started talking about getting a dog. Not necessarily that we wanted one at that time, but that when that time came what kind of dog we would want, why we wanted a dog, etc. Then summer came – gorgeous, beautiful summer and dogs were everywhere. Bursting forth like flower blooms. They were running, fetching, swimming, bounding and leaping in what has to be the world’s largest dog park that just happens to be a few miles down the road from where we live.

So, after much consideration and deliberation, we have decided it is time to get a dog! The area in which we live is perfect for dogs, there are so many trails and parks, and our house has the perfect back yard for a dog – complete with a pen that was built by the previous tenants. After searching the area, via the interenet, for a breeder, I found one not too far from where we live and that seemed to have their act together. We went out for a visit about a month ago and loved meeting the breeders as well as the dogs.

So, if all goes well, our new border collie puppy should be born around August 15th and we’ll get to take him home 8 weeks later….just in time for my birthday!

Below are a couple of pictures of the sire and dam that will make the newest addition to our family. I'll be sure to keep you posted of any "puppy news" when the time gets closer and I'll also make a photo album on our shutterfly site so you can see new puppy pics!
