A New Addition to the Family! **Pictures!**

Tonight suffer and I are going to a local breeder and picking out a yellow labrador retriever puppy to bring home. I am so excited that I can't sit still. Finding a breeder was pretty convenient, a guy I work with - his parents have been breeding labs for 31 years. Not only are they giving us half off, but they're hooking us up with food, toys, a collar and leash, and they get huge crates for the dogs wholesale, so we're going to get one of those as well.
We originally weren't going to get a dog until we get home from Antigua (we're going for 2 and 1/2 weeks in December). We thought it would be best to wait so as to not bring the dog home and then have to leave her at a kennell or something for that long. The couple we're getting the dog from has offered to babysit the dog, for free, for the time that we're away. They even said that would help socialize the dog, to be around other dogs her own age.
I don't know how we're going to decide which one is the right one to bring home. I'm going to want to take all of them, but I'm sure one will stick out as the "right" one for us.
I'm so very excited
When we get home I will post pictures of our new friend, and try to figure out what to name her.

You know, I was thinking that, but it just doesn't roll off the tounge easily enough.

That's wonderful. Dogs are a gods gift. It's hard not to love them. But remember taking care of a dog is like taking care of a 3 year old. It's more time consuming than one would think.

So you've got your heart set on a little lady pup, eh? That's so great. You must, must, must post pictures of your new baby for us.
If I had a new puppy, I would name her Gypsy. I'm more partial to kitties tho. I don't think Gypsy is a good cat name.

Yeah, we're usually home, so the dog will have plenty of attention. And there's lots of room for him to run around and get plenty of excersize.

BTW some slut keeps calling me saying she has my baby and wants money. WHAT SHOULD I DO?? I am 100% sure I pushed her down a set of stairs, so it can't be mine.

That dog is viciously adorable. He could stop hordes of bloodthirsty titans with his cuteness.

Yes, we're pretty set on a female, they stay smaller and are a bit calmer. I love the name gypsy! Suffer read that names that end in "e" sounds are easy for dogs to hear. I've heard names that end in "o" aren;t good, because the dogs thinks it sounds like "no".
I'm sure the right name will be decided once we see her and get a feel for her personality.

That's the best way anyone could have put it.
