Ever
since our beloved Yellow Lab, Brandi, passed on in December (see here and here),
we’ve been waiting for the right time to get a new dog.
Well,
that time has come. We’ve put down a
deposit on a female Black Labrador Retriever pup from a breeder in northern New
Jersey, called Lynnwood Retrievers. Our
pup was born on August 12th, and if you search around the website
you’ll find she came from a litter of twelve, eleven black and one yellow. Here’s the page on the litter with the
parents.
We
let Matthew pick out a name, and to our surprise he picked “Rosie.” I guess it’s a good name for a dog, though it
sounds a bit too human. I think it came
from a cartoon he watches, Peppa Pig. I
guess there’s a character in there that’s named Rosie. So Rosie it is!
Here
are a few pictures of the litter the breeder sent us. Of course we don’t know which pup is ours.
We
pick her up on Sunday!
