Meet Sam

 
Posted by Picasa
 
Sam - Samantha - will be joining our family in December.  She is a merle color border collie.  Merle means her coat is marble color.  She is not a replacement for my Tex, although it does feel as though it is a little too soon for another dog.
 
Truth is, Paul has been barking (clever wordplay) for a long time about getting a merle border.  He has said that for his 60th birthday he was gonna do it.  His merle source has this litter that is ready early December, and since he turns 60 in January, we agreed the time was right.   
 
Right now Sam lives on a ranch about two hours west of Fort Worth and slightly south too.  Paul and I will drive there on Friday, Dec. 6.  We are excited and eager to have a puppy in the house.  It's been awhile.  We choose to live a happy bubble and not think about the hard work that comes with a puppy, instead we can't wait for the baby softness and the sweet breath and sharp tiny teeth and the puppy antics. 
 
In our happy bubble we, too, are certain Mika and Baxter will be just as happy to welcome a puppy to our family.

Hmmm. I WANT to go. But I also will want to spend time with Mika and Bax. Hmmm. But I also need a ride from the airport and if you left directly from the airport to get the puppy, that would be okay. and easier for you.
