Smitten

[Jen & Ember]

Yesterday I received an excited call from my breeder, letting me know that the temperament testing had been completed and she and the tester believe they had the perfect pup for me.  It would be one of the females who has a beautiful red coat -- would I be okay with that? Ummm, yes!!

 

So, today I got to meet my puppy in person... and she is honestly the sweetest little thing. So curious, playful, and loving. She ran around (in what I can only imagine is what I hear lovingly referred to as 'the zoomies'), showed off, and also snuggled in my arms. I'm smitten.

 

I've been trying to decide on the perfect name, and am leaning towards Ember (although I've gotten some other really great suggestions, too). Who knew it would be such a tough decision. Puppy isn't coming home until the 28th, so there is a little bit of time.

 

I have been reading all the blogs and posts, joining groups, and trying to learn all that I can... but as a newbie, let me say that there is a LOT of information out there!! Even wading through the Food and Grooming groups is overwhelming. I suggest a DK Puppy Guide for Dummies. :) 

 

I'm so excited to be bringing my puppy home, and all the fun and love that lies ahead. <3

OMD! She is sooo cute!!

[Dori & Rua]

"Ember" suits her.  How so exciting.  The next 21 days are going to seem like they crawl by.  Get your rest because once you get her, everything changes...all for the best...sleep is totally overrated.

She is a beautiful puppy and I like the name Ember a lot!

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

OMD she's absolutely stunning! I love the name Ember. It's very pretty! That photo is a keeper. Get it in a frame!

 

btw, there is a Puppies for Dummies book ;-) I've never tried it though. I read about 8 books on dogs and training before I brought Sophie home and in her first phew weeks. but I learned the most from DK.:)

 

can't wait until you bring her home and the stories start rolling in. Congratulations to both of you!

love your photo...and can feel your excitement

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

What an adorable picture!  And your new baby is as cute as can be - congratulations!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

OMD....your puppy is gorgeous. Congratulations!!!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Congratulations.  She certainly is adorable.  If you haven't found the Puppy Madness Group be sure to check that one out as well.  You will become great friends with the "Search" function.  And of course when all else fails, just ask and someone will point you in the right direction if there has been previous discussions that will be helpful.  Sometimes even wading through the search results can be overwhelming, but someone might remember a particular discussion that would be helpful and can point you to it!  Looking forward to more pictures once she gets home.

Jen, this is a beautiful photo of you and your new puppy, can't wait to watch her grow.

Ember is a lovely name and what a cutie.  I love the color too.   You will find great advice here all given very generously and sometimes with a little humor thrown in for good measure.  Bet of luck with your new puppy and the adventure you are about to embark on.
