A new arrival . . .

Okay, my sulking is over.
I got over the disapointment of not getting the little puppies I was going to get and became completely obsessed with finding a puppy.
I searched high and low.
Researched everything on the internet.
Looked at classifieds in Seattle, Salem, Bend and Portland; as well as all of the online classifieds.
I had my list of questions to ask the potential seller about the baby puppies and then on Saturday afternoon; in between soccer games and all of a sudden . . .
I clicked and clicked and clicked again, and somehow ended up on a site that took me to breeders in Oregon and I found her.
The perfect puppy.
I e-mailed immediately, and minutes later they called me. The breeder said that they had just listed her on the website three minutes before I e-mailed them. I printed out her picture, told them that I had to talk to my kids and that I would call her later.
I knew immediately that I wanted her. The girls took one look at her picture and wanted her. LBCG took one look at her picture and wanted her.
That was it.
I called them that night and told them that we wanted to adopt her.
The next morning I drove two and a half hours to the desert in Warm Springs, Oregon and met them. They drove up from Bend to meet me. She was even sweeter in person and I was in love immediately.
That was it.
She's ours.
And here she is:




Isn't she sweet?
She is a Maltipoo; 3/4 Maltese and 1/4 Poodle. She has the most beautiful coloring I've ever seen and she is so damn cute. She is 12 weeks old and is 2.5 pounds. She will probably be about 6 pounds when she is grown.
The girls love her and I don't think that she's ever going to walk again because she is going to be carried everywhere.
The breeder had her crate and pad trained and so far she is doing very well.
I know that Macy and Rudder would love her if they were here and I feel that she fits in well in our home; we are very happy and we all adore her.
Her name?
Well; we all voted and decided on Daphne but then we thought of Ginger.
So she's either Daphne or Ginger.
What do y'all think?

Sorry I have been AWOL. I've been puppy obsessed but I feel better now that my mission is accomplished and was successful; I'm gonna catch up with all of you tomorrow!
Goodnight!
