I'm very excited. So is Mike. We really miss not having a dog here. We always talk about kidnapping Dozer for the weekend. I would for Hank as well, but we both know, we can't.

So, we both want a male. We have a POSSIBLE name, but we'll think of others. We may name him "Gibbs", after NCIS. I'm more leaning towards Woodruff, or Woody. But Mike isn't really hot on that idea. So, we have a while before we bring him home. We will be bringing him home BEFORE Christmas Eve. I just found out about it yesterday. We will be looking at the puppies when they are a couple weeks old and the breeder wants to make sure we fit with the right puppy.

Beautiful dogs....love love love their color. As for the name....why not combine the 2 you like and call him Woodruff Gibbs. If you are like most you have a bunch of different names for your dog anyway and this way you can use either. Both you and Mike are happy and you also have an original name as well.

My co-workers dog is Jethro!

I think Gibbs would be better for this dog though. And Woody is cute too! You might find one fits the puppy better than the other once you get to meet him.

Woodruff Gibbs sounds good to me. I know, it's fun to think of names right now but we probably won't name him until we bring him home and give it a day and see what his personality is.. but I think we will know before we do bring him home. We will be meeting the puppies a couple times before we decide on who goes home with us!

You may want to think hard about the timing of bringing him home! If you have big family events Christmas Eve and Christmas, it might be better to wait until the 26th to bring him home, just so you have plenty of time to help him adjust to his new life!

He will be fine. Both of our families are dog friendly so it doesn't matter. We don't do much on Christmas Eve/Day anymore anyway.
