Patrick, Emma and I have decided to go ahead with acquiring the newest member of our family.
Ms. Fiona Lily was born August 13th (making Friday the thirteenth ever so lucky). She was one of three pups born- she has two brothers.
This past week I was actually on vacation from work, and we drove out to Ohio to meet her. Alas, her mommy was unable to produce enough milk, so Fiona and her brothers were moved two and a half hours away from home to another nursing Newf mama, so we were unable to meet her. We did, however, meet Mommy Jade, and she is absolutely -gorgeous-, and the biggest lovebug to boot. Heck, Jade took to Patrick so well I thought she was going to try to come home with us. Heh. We also got to meet grandma Joey.
Lisa, our breeder, gave us a tour of her facilities, let us play with all of her babies, and really gave us a great feeling about the whole situation. We know Fiona is coming from a great environment.
Unfortunately for Lisa, she had just lost her first Newf, Mia. She had passed away on Saturday, and poor Lisa was devastated. Mia was her life.
Anyhow, we will be taking a trip out to Ohio once again, in approximately six weeks, to bring Fiona fully into our familial fold.
Pictures will be forthcoming!
Thanks for all the support guys!
