A bitter sweet day really... Sweet in that I had a chance to meet four additional families and added five new names to the litter. Sandy and Vickie arrived shortly after Jorge and his wife left and set claim to our Blue collared girl. They have a Min Pin at home but are far from strangers to the Doberman breed. They're excited to once again welcome the breed, and most specifically their pup, whom they've named "MoJo" to the family. Despite having a good idea who they'd choose before arriving and sticking with it, we had a fairly long and enjoyable visit- much of which included an expected visit by Gretchen and Cathy. They arrived on schedule to select one of two black girls. Following some deliberation it was Miss Pink who won their hearts! They've named her "Tessa". Unknown to either Gretchen or Cathy, that's Tessa number two for me. Interestingly enough "Tessa The First" wore a pink collar too. She was known as "Hot Pink". Tessa II has a fur-sibling of short stature awaiting her arrival and I look forward to seeing photos of the two acquainting and acclimating to each other. Blade arrived next... not to select but simply to meet Yellow collared girl whom he's named "Athena". Once things settled down, in an attempt to wrap things up, I notified Ellie how the day played out via messenger. She was ecstatic to hear she can officially claim Miss White as her own. She's had her eye on her, like Sandy's had any eye on Mojo, all along. Ellie commented sometime back at first mention of Miss White being a bully that she needed a strong female to compliment her current Doberman, Batman. I think she's acquired herself one and plans to call her "Valley". Sometimes things just work out.
Unfortunately, when I called to notify Sandra II that Irish was the last of the boys she declined him. That's a first for me but I'm aware it happens. The main thing I'm concerned with is that whoever sets claim to my pups does so with open arms and an equally open heart. Most often things happen for a reason and in time I'm sure that reason will become apparent. For now Irish is mine and will remain mine until his perfect family comes calling. His day will come.
And... as I sit here preparing to post the photos of the day... I realize I failed to snap a shot of Blade and Athena! Dang!!! Sorry Blade. But Like Lisa and Thomas we'll see you again and have another opportunity. Ellie too, will come for a meet and greet with Valley upon completion of her pet-sit gig. The wait, she says, is driving her crazy!
