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.

She looks like "Love" to me. It already shows in her eyes and I guarantee she will be her name in every essence of her being. And just think how many times a day you can call Love to you! Congratulations. I am so happy for all of you.

She is beautiful. She will give you many years of unconditional love and dedication. She looks like a 'Millie' to me.
*Millie as a name for girls is of Latin, Greek, Old English and Old French derivation, and Millie means "rival, eager work; helper to the priest; bee; honey; gentle strength; brave strength". Millie is a version of Amelia (Latin, Old German). Millie is also a form of Camilla (Latin).*

She’s gorgeous! She will AJ e an amazing life with you guys. I can’t wait to hear her name. You’ll come up with some thing fantastic. We always name our pets actual people names and then give them an opposite middle name of their gender which is just something funky we do. Our Frenchy is Victoria Drake and our Boston terrier is Penny Sheldon. ?
