Well the numbers are in and we have two ladies about to get jammy!

Miss Artist in the Arctic
I'll be emailing you both for addys here in just a moment...
Now just to be perfectly clear, I am generally not above being bribed, especially when said bribe contains berries, BUT, not here and not now. So for your viewing boredom, here are the screen shots from the most random number generator of all.
JUST to be clear.
NOW,
on to the news flash...
This morning I awoke to this photo in my email inbox. One of these babies will be coming home with us in approximately eight weeks. PUPPIES! I could eat them up with a silver spoon and a dollop of cream!
From the month we first brought Sancho home, BC and I have talked about a second dog. After loads of research reading and in the flesh (i.e. after falling in love with a couple at the dog park) we decided on a doberman as the perfect companion for us and our boxer. Last month when I was down in the San Francisco area, I met with a breeder we had talked extensively with online, met his dogs, and generally fell in love. And then last night, our little girl was born.
I can wait to sniff her toes and nibble on her ears!
EEK!

*A side note, because the subject of buying from a breeder vs. adopting is a very sensitive issue. We have debated hugely on this issue before settling on both of our pups and both times have come to this conclusion: There are thousands of animals that desperately need adoption and thousands of irresponsible breeders (too often supported by irresponsible buyers). We have viewed our choice in this similarly to buying organic and local foods. We took our time and found breeders who are beyond responsible in their breeding programs (extensive health testing, training, working, showing, etc.) and even further beyond passionate about their dogs and decided that THAT was how we wanted to vote with our dollars. Supporting people who are doing right by their dogs, those living creatures, who are breeding with love and education, who are care far more about their animals that just making a buck. These are the people and this is the action we want to support. And so we will. Thanks for hearing me out on this one! *
