Picks Plus an Upstairs Gallery

Here is an indoor gallery taken today.

Nathan will be sending out mail tonight on puppy selection. It wasn't easy but hoping everyone will be happy. Too many wanted all the same dogs - yikes. You can blame me as I am the finalizer and he puts in his choices and gives me reasons for them. I made the last choices based on what I feel was the best for the puppy. I watched videos till I was blind. Looked at photos before I decided what works for each puppy. I like to give everyone their 1st choice but if I did that, we didn't have enough girls. I would have to make one family wait. Gender really shouldn't be an issue but people tend to get stuck on that. 

So, Nathan is napping. I need to take puppies outside. We need to go to Fortinos (allows us to talk about the choices - as we take this serious)  (got to buy turkey for Thanksgiving and all before sold out). When we return home, he will look over my last chart and agree or not he will finalize everything. 

This was a truly tough one. 

There are NO losers here folks. These are 2 oustanding litters and that is an understatement. They really are a grand bunch of pups. At the end of the day, you are going to fall deeply in love with the pup you get. It will happen.

So look for a mail tonight.

Seriously, I would take the one most difficult to place, last picked to go home. Having 1 of each gender has made zero difference to us.We learned to love each one as a unique individual, with each one having their own quirks.
