Puppies

This is buried in a comment on alicia_stardust's journal but I figured I might as well bring it up on my journal too. I've decided to get another springer because I just plain love the breed. I thought long and hard about another rescue dog but with marty being so neurotic I think that it will be better for everyone if we start out with a puppy. I've looked at the shelters here, eugene, grants pass, and medford and if I wanted a lab/pit bull or lab/rottie cross it would be easy to get one. But I don't. There's nothing wrong with them for the right situation, but they just don't fit my lifestyle. So I feel a little guilty about not doing a rescue, but I think its the right choice given all the factors right now.

This is from the breeder that I'm working with. I would really like to get a puppy just after retreat, so if she doesn't have a litter for me she has 2 other breeders in the same area who she recommends and one of them will have a puppy for me. I still have moments where it seems so overwhelming that chuck isn't here that I can't quite picture ever having another dog, but marty needs a buddy, and I know in my heart that chuck would want us to have a new little one to love and spoil.
