We're Expecting!!
We're proud to announce that we're expecting a new baby boy... A baby boy Brittany Spaniel, that is! We've been mulling over the decision to get a dog for some time now. Grayson is the perfect age to get his first four-legged companion, and Grant loves anything with fur! We have researched breeds and all that jazz until we know more about it than anyone should, and we finally decided on a Brittany. They're great family dogs, excellent bird hunters (something Jeff plans to start doing with Grayson), light shedders, and a nice size for indoor dogs. Finding a breeder with pups available in the area was interesting, too, because as soon as they are listed in the paper, those pups are SOLD!
Find one we did, however, and he had the sweetest little furballs for us to choose from. We don't get to pick him up until Saturday, but here he is...
We seem to have a bit of a predicament that we need your help with. We can't agree on a name! So here's the deal, I'm going to put a poll on the sidebar and YOU GUYS have to vote for your favorite! Please participate, cause we need your help!
aaaaah, dog news makes me all squiggly. :D
I voted Johnny "Ringo". ;)

Oh, another grandson! I like Thatch (I also voted for Buck because I know Grayson likes it).
