Sadie was definately the most planned of our three. We heard about her and her littermates before our wedding. We both knew we wanted to get a dog after we got married, so after much discussion we went to visit ~ 2 weeks after our wedding. She was only 6 weeks old at that time, so we went home without her knowing 2 weeks later we would bring ohome our baby girl.

Cincy was semi-planned. We had been talking about getting Sadie a playmate, and one Saturday morning my mom called and asked if we wanted to see some lab mix puppies. We talked a bit, finally set up an appointment for the next day. We planned on leaving Cincy there 2 more weeks (she was only about 5 1/2 weeks at that time), but the puppies were left alone outide in a chicken coop, while mom was inside with the family. We ended up bring her home that day.

Spot was not planned. I had been playing around with the idea of getting a third dog, and was hoping for a male dal. Ralph wans't not there yet, and not sure he wanted three. When we heard about Spot, we had little time to talk . It was already 10 am, and if someone didn't claim him by 6 pm that night, he would be PTS. We said we would rescue him, and get him into a no-kill group here in Toledo. It was obvious very quickly however that he and the girls had other plans. He was here to stay!!
