A new family member is coming!
I know this may seem fast to some of you, but we have grieved over our sweet Jakie for so many months now, and feel a need to fill the hole in our hearts left when he was put to sleep last week. This is the puppy that has captured our hearts. A couple of days ago we put a deposit on a puppy that isn't born yet, that we would receive at the beginning of February. Dave initially wanted a dog that looks like a mini golden retriever, being cream in color, but the more we looked at this little guy the more his uniqueness and cuteness grew on us. He just seemed to keep staring at us saying, "buy me". This is a mix of a cocker spaniel and a golden retriever (also called a comfort retriever or mini golden retriever). He is a rare sable color. He is coming to us from South Dakota, as we could not find anyone breeding these nearby. We will name him Dakota, AKA Koty. Isn't he a cutie?

Oh, he's very cute. Sounds like a really good mix. I'll bet they are very friendly dogs. Did you say when he will arrive?
He's adorable. I can't wait to meet him!
He will arrive on Friday night at 10:00pm.
I am a firm believer in filling holes that our lost animals leave.
I am very glad that you are.
he is adorable!
Yippie!! A new baby!! How is he getting to you , air freight? Baby puppy ears to kiss, and puppy smells! Who is he going to sleep with? Me, Pick Me!! :)
He is SO cute! and I love the name!
He is adorable, Rachel. I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering if you would be ready for a new puppy in the near future. I think it's a great idea and it will be so much fun for all of you. Love the name.
Oh boy! A new cousin to play with! Woof!
So, I'm confused... Is he coming in February or this Friday?
Bethany- We initially put a deposit on one that is due to be born in December. That one we would have gotten in February. But this little guy was so cute that we just couldn't resist him (Uncle Dave initially wanted a cream colored one). He will be 8 weeks old on Friday, therefore can fly here then! I already feel attached and we don't even have him yet.
Awwwww! Congrats on your new baby!! :)
How do you get him? Do you pick him up at the airport?
Heather- Yup, we pick him up at the airport. We have a number that we need to give them, and a photo ID.
That is great! I can't wait to meet Koty!
I like his "widow's peak"
Hey yeah, look at that widow's peak. You should have named him "Eddie" after the Munster's.
That is a good idea, Martha!
Rachel, I bet you are on your way to the airport right now!!! So exciting!
He is sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AW!! Puppies are so cute!!!
