guess who’s adding to their family?

No, we are not ready just yet for the addition to our family in the form of a Barley baby; however, we are ready for the addition in the form of a Barley puppy!

We have been doing lots of research lately and have determined to the best of our knowledge that we are ready for a pup! We are going for a Chocolate Labrador Retriever. We have found a great breeder who has been wonderful to work with so far.

Our little pupster is 3 weeks old today! Happy 3 week birthday puppies! She is one of 6 girls in the litter and a sister to 3 males! We get to go pick her up on December 4th and we are so excited! At this point, we can only imagine the difficulty in having a puppy in our lives but we are looking forward to it either way.

This is a picture of our puppy’s mama. I know I am clearly a bit partial here but I think Rollie is just beautiful!!

Here is a shot of Tucker, the young Dad.

TuckerThe pictures are from the breeder’s website-Bentwood Labradors. He sent me some 2 week old picture and pictures from today but of course, I cannot figure out how to add them here! Just trust me-they are little darlings!!

So, now for the practicality of having a puppy-any tips on training??

    I just gasped and squealed when I saw your link on Facebook – shame on you! :D I am sure your puppy is beautiful though! Congrats to you and the proud Papa!

    Here’s a suggestion… if you can’t save the picture (of the pups) from the internet do a screen shot.

    Here’s a guide that hopefully you’ll be able to follow, if not I’ll show you next time I see you.
