We had the discussion from What would you do?
It wasn’t a fight.
Good thing too. I lost. And won.
We have a new family member. (assuming no horrific incidents in the next few days)
Details, invariably, to follow. Naming is still up in the preliminary stages.

Name him Tide—for Roll Tide– had a shepard named Tide was a great dog. Very protective, died when Jefy was 2 yrs old
And the quote for the night is from MaryVic: “This is going to be the best Christmas ever because I have a puppy!”
I love him already!
And I LOVE mv’s quote.
I hope he is more than you ever dreamed of and a lifetime of fun and fur. And I’d like to give a vote for “Barkley”. *woof*
Yippee for you guys! Nothing great comes easy in life, but I held this little guy and he melted my heart instantly! Yet, had I come home with a third puppy, I’m sure my husband, Rick wouldn’t have been over the moon right away either. He tends to think a little more deeply and I react on gut instinct most time
Anyway, It’s great Mary-Vic is sooo thrilled with him and I’m sure you guys have so much love to give as a family
