Happy 1st Birthday Rooney

Please watch baby Rooney's Smilebox

One year ago today as I stepped off a plane in NYC - my breeder called to say that she had delivered 3 out of 5 puppies and so far there was no male. She said she'd call me back shortly and let me know if my "Rooney" was indeed in this litter. I was positive that he was! I had already passed on one cream puppy from a prior litter because I just "didn't feel it", that connection that I knew I would have the instant that I saw him. Fast forward 3 hours and there I sat in a Chinese Restaurant with DH, tears streaming down my face - the breeder had never called back. We had become friends and I knew that she just didn't have the heart to call and tell me that there was no Rooney. Very late that night I did get a call - she had a puppy for me but wasn't sure that I would want him - a parti puppy but very dark, an almost blackish brown. After looking at an emailed photo - I wasn't sure that I wanted him - was that Rooney? She just kept telling me how special this puppy would be, really unusual, chance of a lifetime, I wasn't sure. I told her that I couldn't promise till I could meet the puppy at the 4 week mark, so we left it at that. Well the rest is history. I fell in love with Rooney the day that I brought him home - yes - it took that long. Breeder - thank you so very much for putting this boy into my heart - he means the world to me. Thank you for believing that he was meant for me! Happy 1st B-day Rooney - you are my JOY!!!!
