My husband is, in fact, a man of his word! PIC!
« on: March 09, 2008, 07:09:35 pm »
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!

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. ::)
