Big Dogs

Thanks for your input! The owner sent me pictures of both parents and promises me that these are the docile, couch-potato breed. In each picture, they are just lounging around on the deck and couch. He and his wife are school teachers and the two parents are their only two pets. I sent an email asking him a few more questions and am doing some deep thinking about it. The pup won't be ready to leave for a few more weeks, so I might set a date and say if she's still available then, I'll take her. Then, if she's gone, that is what was meant to be.

Owners are lowering the price. I told him I'd let him know by Monday. If he still has her on Monday - she's mine! I changed my mind several times just typing the email to him.

As much as I want this little girl, I'm passing. I do keep thinking that somebody has to take her, but I have to wait because of the economy. My gamble is that her price will need to be cut in half before I would buy her.

Buying groceries for the first time in a month was a huge price shock.

That just might be the sign you were waiting for. After Gracie's attack, I wouldn't even take a chance.

She sure looks sweet though.

Ugh! Owners still have all six pups and have lowered the price to less than half. I am haunted with the thought of what will happen to that one little girl. I GOT A PAY RAISE and tomorrow's my wedding anniversary. So, I sent an email that I want the little girl, if he'll still let me get her.

We were in Wal-Mart yesterday (getting potting soil and humus) and I almost get her a doggie bed, but Hubby said to wait. I have a big wire crate that I can use to get her trained.

I'M EXCITED - I know we'll need to be extra cautious with her and the little doggies, but that will come naturally since I'm the biggest worry wart out there. I'll have her spayed ASAP and keep her busy. I've been reading lots.

We'll see - the owners might not want me to have her since I was so iffey before. I hope he understands that it was because of the storm expenses.

My parents have a weimereiner which is definitely a high prey breed. We already had logan when they got her as a puppy so she grew up with him. they play fine. She's a little rough, but is getting better as she ages. I just watch very close, but lately there hasn't been much to worry about. They fight with each other to get attention from people. I'm sure she'll be fine with your little ones.

Just throwing in my 2 cents - dobermans make great family members!

THANKS - "Hopefully" I'm getting her tomorrow. It's our anniversary, so I'm hoping Hubby will drive me the hour and a half and find a place to eat out along the way. He's from the area where the puppy is, so it should work out well.

I'm happy for you - I know you have thought a lot about this and have been led by your heart!

Let us know when you get her and for sure, we need pictures!!!
