More Exciting News

[cf737]

I have more good news - and I'll be honest, it's about time. It's been tough at my house for a while and I'm glad to have some good news lately

 

I'm getting a pup this weekend! As most of you may know, my dog Wilbur passed away a while ago. My family as well as my other dog have been grieving his loss and are feeling more comfortable without him as time passes. My current dog, Tango, is not doing so well and seems very lonely. We have always had two dogs and have finally decided to get another. I'm very excited about this because we have always had little dogs, and this time my family is in agreement -it's time for our dream dog. We are driving all the way up to Sudbury (a 6 hour drive) tomorrow to pick out a German Shepherd pup! We have done tons of research for a good breeder, as they tend to be overbred. He/she is 7 weeks old, and we are all arguing over names! Anyway...for those dog lovers out there, I can post pictures if you're interested! I'm sure he'll be absolutely adorable.

 

Anyway - thanks for reading! We're all very excited.

P.S. - Darwin is a little genius, I swear. Every day she comes out with new noises - she now mimics a very strange sound my dad makes, does 4 whistles, laughs all the time, kisses, and goes "WEEEEEEEEEE!" in a really girly voice when we go in the car. She loves the car!<br><br>Post edited by: cf737, at: 2009/06/12 23:15

Congratulations Cassandra on your new puppy. I love German Shepherds. It is one of my favorite dog breeds and I have had a few in my lifetime. My last Shepherd was Sugar she would help me carry wood for the fireplace. She would alway walk beside me with a fire log in her mouth when I gathered wood. I will always miss her, such a sweet companion. Pictures, I would love to see some pictures of your sweet puppy. Can't wait!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! A new puppy how exciting!

My mother had one when she was a young girl, she told me his name was Duke and he would walk her to school (far) and would go back home and then would be waiting outside her school when she came out at the last bell!!

 

I thought that was the cutest story! whata smart doggy!

Congrats on a new puppy!!! When my black lab Ollo passed away in September I was devastated. I decided straight away to get another dog, not to replace him because nothing and no one could do that. But the house was so empty and quiet.

 

I got an 8 week old German shepherd pup and I named her Jinx. The name is very appropriate.

 

I don't know if you have had a shepherd before, but I liken them to the African greys of the dog species. Incredibly smart, quick to learn, and needing a gentle but firm and consistent hand to guide and develop them to their full potential. Shepherds also tend to bond to one owner very strongly.

 

If you'd like to chat about your pup, training and care for him/her, I'd be keen on that.

 

And yes please DO post pics!! They are such gorgeous little fluff balls at that age.
