The first breeder fell through and I scrambled to try to find another puppy. I didn't know for sure that I'd get her until I got to the breeders and fell in love with the little girl that has now chewed up the furniture, requires walks when I'm tired and has generally changed the pattern of my life for the better.
She's traveled with me, shopped with me, slept with me.
It's been a wonderful, invigorating year.
