Well that's just darn tempting! Not good timing but ahhhhh I'm so right next to Maine!
And I'm right next to "right next to" Maine! ;)

However, now is not a good time to get an outdoor puppy. It will need a lot of attention and training every day and frankly I spend a lot more time inside than outside in the winter. Attention and training especially important since my "herds" are 2 alpacas and 12 hens. I'm sure the alpacas would protect themselves from a puppy but I think I'd be down a LOT of chickens since they have free run of the barn alley as soon as their auto door opens and free run of the space between the 2 barns and the area behind them once I open the barn doors. Though lately they have not been spending much time behind the barns, still pretty nervous about the big hairy things that arrived 9 days ago.

Yes between me not having adequate fencing, having a nearly 4 year old human child and needing to go buy $1500 worth of pellets in the next few weeks, it's not going to happen this year. Plus my dogs do not like new dogs and my husband works 12 hour shifts in winter.. Not a good plan :hit

Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
Blackie goes home Friday.
End of next week, Aruu goes home.
Next Sunday, someone is coming by to, hopefully, pick out a female.
Purple will go home after he reaches 12wks old.
