A Week Away

A week from now, I'll be driving back to Oklahoma to get Pink and bring her home. I'm nervous because it's been so long since I've had a puppy in the house, but I'm excited to be starting a new chapter in my life with a new puppy to love and adore.

I feel really blessed that I've found such a nice, knowledgeable, and responsible breeder to work with, and that I'm bringing home a great puppy out of a great litter.

One interesting thing that the breeder told me last week during my visit was this: The Tervlets start holding their ears up at six weeks. The smaller the puppy at that age, the sooner the ears seem to go up. I find that to be a really interesting observation. Pink was not the smallest puppy in the litter. I think the yellow girl was the smallest, and it does seem like the yellow girl was holding her ears up most frequently. It's all fascinating -- the birth, the growth, the development. I'm in awe right now and ready to make this dream come true.
