Mikey and Diva Dan's First Moments
Meet our dog with currently no name. We are waiting for the personality to tell us what her name should be. She's one of 9 puppies. Daniel has been dying for a dog. Part of our move to Nova Scotia was the ability to have a dog and some other farm creatures on the grounds. So this is part one, GULP. I fear ducks are most likely next.
Her parents were a partial rescue situation where they had an owner that has aged to the point where he couldn't take care of them as they deserved. So the new owner agreed to take the pair to have on their hobby farm. Unknown, the mother was pregnant. The new owner of the dogs is not a breeder.
She would come to have 9 puppies. The video shows the mother's last moments with our new family member. Daniel walked with our new member to the front of the lot as mom looked on. I caught the last moments and watched off-camera. I was heartbroken for her in every way. It was dust in the air, I swear that was making my eyes water for her.
We quietly promised her mom we would treat her well. I told her that I wasn't much of a dog guy but I would try. Our cats were a little put-out. They are still in adjustment mode. This puppy doesn't react to them or have the need to let them know who is boss. She's so incredibly calm.
I put together our first day with this puppy. A name will come when it suddenly hits us. If you want to suggest a name or two, let me know in the blog comments. At this moment, I'm open to suggestions.

Diva Dan looks so incredible happy with the puppy. That alone makes it worth it. Teach the puppy to submit to being brushed. You can then use said hair and spin your own yarn (kidding but maybe not kidding). Maybe you can name the puppy after one of the stages wool goes through on its way to becoming yarn.

That pup is going to become such a part of your family you'll wonder how you were ever ok without her. Mom looks part Golden?
The joy on Dan's face is obviously bubbling up from deep inside...will make all the nuisance of puppy training and dog hair cleaning well worth the trouble.
Enjoy!
