life is a series of hellos and goodbyes...

sorry it has taken me so long to post...but i have been so busy lately...mostly with the critter that i am posting about now!

so on april 18th my parents and i went out to medina to check out some scottish terrier puppies...the breeder who has been doing this for 20 years was very nice and the puppies and her adult dogs were all very nice and cute! to make a long story short there were 4 dogs that survived and 2 that died in the litter. the mom, lucy, was 2 years old (this was her 1st litter), very nice and kissed my hand and the dad, duncan, was off-site in youngstown and is owned by another breeder. both of the parents are like 20-22lbs also which are nice weights. anyway, Peggy (the breeder) let the puppies loose in the room and i started checking them all out. i kind of went there with the intention of buying a female just because of the way that she described everyone over the phone.

so i met the 2 brindle males and they were cute, but very very wild and did not settle down at all. then i met the wheaten female (Peggy is keeping her) who was also very wild! then i met the all black female (who is actually is turning brindle now)...it was love at first sight...she was wild and crazy, but then finally settled down in my lap...so i decided to get her. I decided to call her Scarlett. She was only $700 which was a good deal for a quality puppy...she already had her first vet check w/ a de-worming, 1st vaccine and dewclaw removal. so that is how Scarlett and i found each other!

so she is now 12 weeks old (her birthday is Feb 2, 2006) and jeanne checked her out and we gave her the rabies, kennel cough and 2nd distemper (DHPP) vaccines this week...we distracted her with treats so she didn't even cry...thank god...Travis used to HATE getting injections!!! so now she is all set to start her puppy class with me on May 25th @ All Dawgs...i am excited about that too!

so basically Scarlett is doing well...eating, drinking, going to the bathroom normally and just being a puppy...playing, biting and acting silly...so that is all for now...below you can see some cute pictures...enjoy...there will be many more in the near future too...so get ready!
