The newest addition

A funny thing happened today. John mentioned to Brady that Krystal (Presley's dam) had a new litter of puppies that were ready to go to new homes and thought Brady might spread the word around for him. Brady did spread the word around; to me. And I, of course being the excitable, dog-crazy person I am, asked if we could go see them. Just for fun. Of course that turned into a long winded discussion about getting a second dog. We've been talking about this for a while; ever since we've seen Presley interact with other dogs and noticed how much she enjoyed playing with them. I have my heart set on one day breeding and showing Field Spaniels however, that is a distant future goal. Once we've moved to our farm and have stability and money, etc.
So we decided that it might not be a bad idea to get another dog to keep Presley (and me) company until that day comes. Hence, we went out to see John's puppies. They were all absolutely precious. There were three surviving puppies in Presley's litter and they were all incredibly timid and scared. This litter of five, however, was happy and wriggly.
I sat down amongst them for a while; the one girl of the litter who was blue in color, had been spoken for. Which meant I was left with the four boys to choose from; two mostly black with some white and two mostly white with some black. Presley is mostly black, so I kind of wanted white one. So I cuddled and played with each puppy and finally decided on the whitest of them all; Kiefer.
He's adorable and we've only had him for a few hours so I'm not sure about his personality yet but he sure is a cutie pie!
