Meet Shelby

I'd like you to meet our new pride and joy, Shelby.  She was born December 12th!  We picked her up last night from a farmer who placed an ad in a local newspaper.

My honey has been watching the newspapers and looking online for months now hoping to find a litter.  When he saw the ad we called right away.  The farmer said he only had two girls left.  We decided we'd better go right away.  Needless to say, my honey took a vacation day and I left work early and off we went!

There were two mothers (who are sisters) that had their litters a day apart!  The farmer said at one point he had 14 puppies.  One of the mothers had four and Shelby's mother had the rest.  What an over achiever!  There were 11 puppies when we got there including the two girls! 

The farmer put the two girls in a pen by themselves for us.  It was hard to decide which one to choose.  Shelby was the one that kept nibbling on our fingers and giving kisses. So I guess you'd say she chose us!

Here are her siblings and cousins!

Here's her mother.

Here's her father.

Here she is with her new Daddy.

Just look at that cuteness!

My honey and I had another Dal who passed away three years ago.  She was almost 13 years old!  We have finally gotten to the place where we were ready for another one!  When they say dogs leave paw prints on your heart they aren't kidding!

So if I'm absent this week, you'll know what I'm up to.  I'll be playing with a little spotted pup that's stolen my heart!  It's just too hard to resist all that cuteness!

Thanks for stopping by and for all your sweet words.  Hope everyone has a good week!

Until next time,
