Our new puppy!

We met with a breeder today and we signed up to buy a yellow lab puppy!! We got to meet the mom and talked with the breeder a lot about the dogs and the family. Sounds like our little puppy is coming from quite a successful family; championship show dogs & hunting dogs on Maizey's (mom) side and field champion hunting dogs on Otter's (dad) side!

Maizey is due on April 4th and we can take our little bundle of fur home after 6 weeks. Malcolm Mack is our breeder and he has a great passion for dogs and his dogs especially. He works for the Mukilteo District and Jen met him on her ESL testing travels. It was perfect timing and he got to know what kind of dog we are looking for and he can try to match up our needs with the temperament of one of he puppies.

We are super excited about getting a dog. The fence is almost done in the backyard and after that should be dog ready. Now we just have to learn how to train a puppy!
