Our new puppy!

Wow, that's all mind boggling, but you sure have had enough practice. What about Jefe? Is he in your breeding future? Sorry for all the questions, Tom. Maybe we should have done this all through PMs u less others are interested.

Then I get dressed and let the rest of the dogs out. She can see where I'm getting dressed. The past two mornings she barked while I was getting dressed. This morning she just watched wagging her tail until Pam picked her up to take her in the house. As is typical, she loves knowing what the routine is. She jumps into her crate when it's time for bed now and waits quietly for us to get ready and get in bed.

The only little difference in hers and Kodi's coloring is that she is a Black and Tan. She has the little tan eyebrows, but they are tiny, and you have to almost look for them.

Oh, I love eyebrows!

Earliest death for one was 15, some 16, and 17.

Brio and Willow would be a very similar COI, but probably a little less-without figuring it yet. We are a long ways away from planning Willow's future, but are getting closer to plans for Nike.

I was hoping Nike would be a "workin' girl" for a while!

Brio and Nike will probably produce beautiful Pups!
I figure they are too young (even Brio), since he has to pass all his health testing first.

I told the boys yesterday about you keeping a new Pup and they looked at me and asked at the same time..."Are WE getting another Puppy from Tom?"

I can distract them while I'm dressing, so Pam can clean the boxes up without them jumping all in the mess in the litter boxes. It can be a mad scramble here in the mornings sometimes. Since all the other puppies have left, it's much more simple, and not in such a big hurry.

Sorry, I feel like an idiot...didnt read through to the end. You always seem to do everything right with your pups
