Finally... A Decision

After heming and hawing all weekend, I've finally -- with Birgit's help -- come to a decision. Although Tarquin is a GREAT dog, this could be my last opportunity to raise a dog from puppyhood. And those pups in Wisconsin share at least part of their bloodline with Buddy. Hmmm.

So I emailed Jackie Jackson, the breeder in Wisconsin, to say that we'll buy one of her puppies born on February 5 (Jackie's photo here is of the pups six days old).

But which one? And should we get a male or female? How will Max react? Oh no.... more decisions!
