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.

Oh, she is so sweet! I love small dogs and I would have a hard time at the beginning adjusting to a big dog. Dogs love you back so much more than you can imagine! Dan looks so in love! A name is a tuff one. We had a Roland who we called Rollie because he was so round and fluffy when we got him. Also a fun yarn name would be neat, but picking a name that fits is cool. Only suggestions. Stitch or Woolly? Have fun with the new baby, and making her part of the family!!
Lori Hadley says
She is a gorgeous puppy, she looks like a "Snowball" to me but I am partial to that name as I had a female cat that was pure white and that is what I named her!!! Big and fluffy just like a big snowball.

Pyr's are wonderful, good natured dogs! She's a fabulous addition to your family and she's gonna steal your heart!! They're calm, affectionate, loyal and protective.
I've got a half lab, half Pyr named Juno. My son says we should have named her Wriggley because she's so wiggley! I'll post a pic of me and my June on the Facebook page so you can see how big they can get! 110# of pure love!
My dad had a GP years ago named Sugar and it fit her to a T!!
