When asked what I wanted for my birthday, I was all prepared. "A puppy!" And everyone in the room groaned. What's that all about? I miss my Darby, and the unconditional love you get from your dog.
Then I started looking online for the right breed, and for breeders in the area. English Springer Spaniels seem like the perfect pet. They do have long ears, which could mean ear infections, but now I know they need to be kept clean, and buying from a breeder would mean better genetics.
What kind of puppy do you think I should get? I had one friend who said no beagles! They howl too much. Darby howled sometimes when we left the house. Once in a while he'd howl when he only thought we had left... it was cute and sad at the same time.
We're not planning on taking a vacation this year, and Amy said I could bring him/her into work... I have no travel planned except for a short trip to Chicago in early June. Sometime during the summer we'll be going to San Francisco, too, to promote WhiskyFest.
I know a puppy would be work for a while, but it's well worth it.
Gotta run!
