On happier topics, I will be headed to Florida in 3 weeks (I am in Oregon) to bring home a baby sister for Marshall!  We are getting narrowed down to the possibilites and 'Lemon' is a contender.  She is awfully cute! Hearing tests on Thursday. . .fingers crossed that all have bi-lateral hearing!

 

Geek on on cute puppy pictures!

Oh dear lord...how cute are those pups!!!   I didn't see a Lemon - did you mean Melon...LOL??   I may have just missed it, but I looked twice...


Hope all goes exactly how you want and you come home with Marshall's new sister in tow.

She re-named her Banana in the last set of pictures, but I refuse to call her that. :)

When a tread is titled 'puppy love" who can resist looking?

They are just too cute, I watched all the videos, I would not be able to give them up.

Congratulations to you.

Oh my lord, more puppies...how lovely.

Lemon is such a cutie....I have always been facinated with Dalmations and as a child I wanted a 101 of them after seeing the film.

They are adorable!!! My brother used to breed Dalmations. He had both parents and they were both champions. He had to wait and see if they were deaf or not before selling them. Enjoy your new puppy. I am in North Florida, That is a long trip. Be safe.

Hi Everyone,

 

Meisje has arrived.  We flew yesterday from Orlando, FL to Portland, OR.  The first half of the trip was pretty rough, but we are getting there.  Here are a bunch of pictures of the puppy:

Her name is Meisje, it is pronounced 'May-sha'.

 

We are both a little tired, but doing good.
