Hubby and I have been going back and forth for months on getting another dog. I want one, he does but doesn't and hasn't been ready. A year ago he told me we could get a dog if I found a black dog with one blue eye, to match Tani, who also has one blue eye. Ha ha, honey - can you say needle in a haystack?? Then, a few days ago, he said, ok - we can get a dog, but it has to be an aussie female (knowing, probably, that I wouldn't go for it because I don't like all the grooming responsibiliti es!). WELL, on Sunday, I stumbled across - guess what - a 13 week old aussie/lab mix, black, with one BLUE eye and one BROWN eye!! How do I know the aussie part? Because the pup and her brother came in with the aussie mom as strays! They were in a kill shelter about an hour and a half away from us. My hubby said, "She's cute. I'm a man of my word - have a nice drive!" She is so cute, and Tani took to her right away. The puppy was immediately submissive and flopped on her back, and they romped and played for a long time after that! I am so excited!
We have a Japanese name theme, so I need to find something I like with a good meaning that goes well with Tani, Kenji, Mika, Nishi and Tasia. Anyway, without further adieu, meet our new puppy, who is not yet named...

oh congrats! I think we all know how much you wanted this! ;D
She is so cute! Japanese name, huh? Kuro means black, Aoi is blue, koniro is dark blue/navy... Ringo means apple! -I was considering that one for Lucca +there is the beatles connotation... Tohya, I think was peach blossom... momo is peach..
I was a minor in Japanese in college... but I tend to go for silly names... maybe later I'll come up with something more interesting...
congrats again!

Oh, so cute and I am so happy for you!!! I know you've been wanting a puppy for a while. Truly must have been meant to be! Congratulation s!

Congrats! She is adorable. Looks like she takes after the lab heritage, which makes her look cool being a black dog with odd eyes. :)
I love the names in your famliy so far. Very cool, I've always liked japanese names.

Congratulation s on your new puppy. That certainly sounds like it was meant to be. Next time your hubby will have to come up with more of a challenge. ::)
