Potential Dog Momma

Squeeeee!!! Yes, I really did just do that (and I actually made that sound out loud as well... okay, so it was a whisper sound).

This is DeeDee. Isn't she beautiful? She is a potential Dog Momma for Marmalade. She is due January 21st and hopefully has a litter of at least two girls (most likely black and tan). See, now you understand why I squeed.

I am so excited because it feels like the process is moving forward! However, I told myself not to get too excited because if there aren't at least two girls, then there won't be a Marmalade in that litter... But I am clearly not taking my own advice.

Half our problem is that we want a girl, and breeders usually keep one female from each litter to continue the pedigree lines. The other half, is that we want a whole colour, i.e. Ruby or Black and Tan. Some people don't like whole colours because they feel they lack the trademark cavalier look. I admit, I was one of those people... Until I actually met a litter of whole colour puppies. Photos do not do them justice! Even stone-cold Sean gushed "She looks like the world's tiniest Rottweiler" over a black and tan puppy. This is probably the biggest compliment from him as he thinks rotties are beautiful. And when were driving home, he went on and on about how handsome the Ruby boys were. From that moment on, we went from being "open-minded" to "whole colour only!".

Squee!

Sorry, I just needed to do that one more time
