MrNV and I agreed that we would make sure Roscoe found a new home before we considered a new puppeh. The shelter we adopted him from over a year ago found him a great new home. The new owners understood that he was a FENCE JUMPER AHOLIC and had been adopted a few times.. and were ready for the challenge :) They were in love.. which was easy, because he really was a sweet dog. So Monkey and I went to check out Hasenfeffer's babies yesterday. There is a pet store nearby where their momma took them... so cute!! While there, Monkey and I fell in love with a kill-shelter lab they had available for adoption. We booked home to get MrNV, literally down the street.. and by the time we returned he was adopted. Gah! So we decided to drive around to the different shelters and see what was up. We also agreed this time that we had to do a puppy, because we were shell-shocked from Roscoe. No more dogs with issues :) Our 14 year old lab was 2 when we adopted her, and we never had problems. And the amazing Ivan, our first dog, was also about 2.. and the greatest dog evah. Legendary :) At any rate, after a sad day of looking at puppies that were already adopted... regardless of signs that said AVAILABLE/HEALTHY. Seriously, they need a better system than.. "Go and look and let us know if you find one you're interested in...." NOT! We found the most beautiful little merle puppy, he looked like a tiger. Tag said Available/Healthy... but there were 2 people signed up to adopt him. ?!?!
So we had been pondering some blue heeler puppies we found information on. And bla bla bla, long boring story short...

MrNV wasn't sure until he saw the father. What a great dog! He was so calm. When she let him out of the house, he immediately brought over a plastic bottle... set it down and just stared at her. It was funny, she threw it and he caught it in the air. Big jumpin' freak he was! Then he played with Alex for a bit, so MrNV was sold. We had a really hard time picking, they were so adorable. But MrNV and Monkey both fell for this one, he is now named Bandit. MrNV thought he looked like the dog from Johnny Quest, with the patch over each eye :)
