Smitten...

Guys, since Saturday I have been dreaming about dogs, thinking about dogs, even seeing dogs in places they aren't normally present (like my living room for example). I'm smitten with Labradors. In the beginning I was considering also seeing a Golden Retriever (as I mentioned in the previous post) but the breeder had cancelled our appoinment for he had an important exhibition he had to attend to and there was no one who could show us around, but to be honest with you, I don't even need to see them to know, I want a Labrador. We went to a local backyard breeder, a very nice family who are in possession of 3 Labradors at present: a yellow Luna, a chocolate brown Pedro and his son- a black Sean. Now Luna is pregnant to Sean. They are all friendly, easy-going and affectionate! : ) Maybe they don't have impeccable manners (they licked my bf, our friends we went with and me from the very beginning of our visit and they jumped a little bit too) but they are absolutely adorable, cute and cuddly! Just look at the pics.

For example this is the first picture I saw on the Internet of Luna (before the visit) and she looked so smart and intelligent that I called and made an appointment.

...and this is Luna with her first puppies (they were all black!)

...and this is the future Dad when he still was a puppy (now is 2 years old).. doesn't he look gracious and dignified even if so young? : )


Sean now:

...and the happy couple together:

And now I am almost 100% sure that I would like a black Lab and probably a boy.. It's all about the feasibility... I would have to put up with the fuss and bother of estrus (period) which appears every 6-7 months and last for about 3 weeks each time... From the practical point of view, I don't have conditions in my appartment right now. On the other hand, I could subject her to spaying but even the sound of the word is drastic, hurtful and excruciating... I don't know if I'll be able to do it.

Well, the decision hasn't been taken yet. The family asked us to "book" the puppy after they're born (which will take place exactly for Christmas) so we still have about 3 weeks to make up our minds. But shhhhh.. I'll tell you a secret: I already know everything : )
