I wish I had a good photo to post of him but I don't. It is the red puppy which only means he has a piece of red yarn around his neck not that he has a red coat as a friend of mine thought.
When I first saw the pix of the two males I liked red the best. Then came the cute fuzzy picture of Blue and I liked HIM the best. Then the breeder began explaining to me about the two males and their virtues and sins as far as conformation goes (at this age which is 9 weeks) and red sounded better and better.
So today I vacuumed and steamcleaned most of the downstairs, bought food for the puppy, still don't have a good crate pad because I ran out of $$$$$$. Surely someone is cheaper than PetSmuck.
I printed out the instructions from the airline, put the phone number on my cell phone. My dear and good and true friend Susan is going to drive me to OHare. She has done this before. I have gone with her, but don't know the details.
All I would need is to get lost finding the Van in the parking garage with a puppy that has been on an airplane all morning. (Not that long, actually, a couple of hours.)
Doc.His name is Doc. His name is actually "Mika Keokuk Medicine Man of Liswyn." And here is why: it is the K litter so the name has to start with a K. I liked Doc and was looking for something to go with that and got to Medicine Man, which I liked. Then there was still that damn K.
And then I remembered. John's great aunt Nellie Verne Walker made a huge bronze statue of Chief Keokuk, which stands over-looking the great Mississippi River at Keokuk, Iowa. PERFECTO!! So that was it.
And tomorrow, we will see what the boys think of their new housemate. And they better be really happy to see to him......
