Puppy Visit

Oh my goodness, what an amazing day!! J and I drove out to Connecticut to meet the puppies! We were a bit worried about getting to Barb's house, since she had told us during the winter that we would need snow chains to make it up her driveway. Fortunately, the weather has finally improved, and despite being rainy in the past few days, we were able to make it up the driveway no problem. She wasn't kidding about a long driveway though! I was glad we took the Subaru instead of the Scion. Offroading in the Scion would not have been a fun time.

We got to the house and we were immediately greeted by a cow! Barb told us that his name was Porterhouse and he is her lawnmower. We also got to meet Rainey, the puppies' mother! What a sweet dog she was. She reminded me of Maxine so much! I was so excited I could barely contain myself.

There were other families there to meet the puppies as well. We all gathered around as Barb brought the puppies out to the pen on the deck. It was their first time ever being outside! They could see, but not terribly well. It was so funny watching them trundle around and squabble with one another.

They were just the sweetest little loves. J and I each cuddled a boy puppy and a girl puppy. I was quite enamored by the girl puppy in my arms, but I realized holding both that I would be so happy with either, as long as we got to go home with a pup in another four weeks!!

And the best part!! We officially ARE going to be going home with a pup in four weeks! We happily gave Barb a deposit. She will be doing a puppy temperament test and helping us pick the best puppy for us. Now the really hard part... the waiting!!!
