my puppy is born.
or. my puppy is one of TWO borned-puppies.
i have to go out to the kennel sometime soon and see which of the two i connect with. oh man. i have a bad feeling i'm gonna connect with both and choosing is gonna be SOOOO HARD! oh man.
but for now. here they are. they currently have their 'kennel names', which, of course, won't stick. i have a list of names to choose from, but i don't want to lean any-which-way till i've met them.
so. sofonda is older. she got born late august, i believe. which means she'd be coming my way the end of october.
utopia is pretty darned new. her birthday is one day before emma's! except. way more recently. you know. by. 30 years. so it would be a bit longer before she'd be ready to come live with me. like. mid-to-late-novembers.
BUT! both girls are, according to john-the-breeder, dominant in their whelping boxes, and therefore ready to go to their homes sooner than the other puppies. (john-the-breeder says that with dominant puppies like them, you want to introduce them to their new homes/families early, as they're faster to develop relationships and so on...) some time around 9 weeks old. is when they'd be ready for me.
AHHHHHHHHHH! for reals!!!!
also, john-the-breeder provides me with the food bowls! i was all trying to decide what to buy. and. he's all 'i'll give you those.' how nice is THAT?!
okay. so i'm freaking out. but in the BEST WAY!
(oh. and. there was a puppy named THOR! but they're keeping him at the kennel. he's not for sale. which is probably good. cause i didn't want a boy. but i probably would've had to get him. cause. THOR!!!!)

Wow, this new roomie of yours could be coming soon! No more sleeping in for you - early morning walks in the park more like.
Will there be voting for the name? I'm seeing a bike related pet name trend, here in the Hooper fam. Not that you would want Thor, Thor's noisy, with that hammer and all.
I wonder if your puppy will get along with Fixie? Christmas cute-fest, kitten vs. puppy?
Man. Fixie and Puppy are totally going to show us up in all the Christmas photos. Upstaged by cuteness... .
And names! Whoa. That is important. I guess it depends which one you get.
And, finally. Are you going to train it to be a running dog or what, hm?
Greyhounds are totally running dogs; since this is a mini I volunteer to do the mini runs when Erin's home. That way Erin can do the long runs with everyone else.
