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.

What a beautiful puppy.
She will grow into her name..it needs to be very regal, as she looks like royalty.
Queenie is very appropriate, as she has already taken over your hearts.
Whatever you name her will be very fitting.
Enjoy her!!

Good morning Michael and Daniel. What a sweet new addition to your family. Michael, I also am not a huge dog person but when my husband lost his best friend and constant companion a few years ago I saw what an immense hole it left in his life. We recently welcomed our new pup...and somehow I have become completed besotted with him. Your video warmed my heart and I immediated thought she looked like a Sadie. I loooked up the meaning and have copied it below. Thanks for sharing.
SADIE – Dogs named Sadie are often kind and sweet dogs. ... People that meet dogs named Sadie often say “What a Sweet Dog”. Origin: Hebrew. The meaning is: Princess
