Hooked up my lady friend with new pup she is so excited.

As today she picks pup up a Great Pyrenees Golden Retriever mix as of today they are eight weeks in age she chose a boy.
She is widow we share thread of loss and in June she had to have her best boy go over rainbow bridge at 14 years old he was a German shepherd Golden mix.
She text me moments ago as she knows that i get up early she been awake since 03:00 excited thing is she cannot pick up best boy until noon😁

Her and her daughter will drive the two hours one way to nab mister. I declined to go even in pre -planning of pup why because I’m very weak around puppies.

Especially Golden retriever or labs reason memories of Mr Big paws a Golden Retriever Pyrenees mix who lived to be 15.
Me i am very happy for my friend because dogs are the sweetest. She just asked me in text sure you and Dunc do not want to come along as she thinks Dunc would be great for new best boy in car.

I declined because if i event went near the litter well they only have two males left out of litter of 12 - 7 boys 5 girls in that no I’m not going as two boys are still available.
Who can resist puppies and the puppy cuteness and smell.

Puppy breath will get you every time!
Dunc would have had another sibling, or maybe two.

My sweet girl is just shy of 14 and I am working on doing everything I can to make her last time as happy and pain-free as possible. She's still walking several miles each day with me in the morning and afternoon. But definitely has slowed down. Too late, I think for her to be other than an "only child," but I was tempted for a while..

Good choice to stay home. I have a problem refusing Fritos.

Never, ever, bring two of your kids to get 1 kitten from a shelter.

Ever.

Chosen wisely, Grasshopper.



I'm sure you'll have enough puppy time once he arrives.
