Donya, I am definitely going with a male, Samson will do fine with a pup, so hoping that he will have a couple more years with him before something happens, which is the main reason we are going for number 3 now.....
Lol Lori, I will start using your chant, definitely..After all you went thru to find Blitzen, I have faith....And yes housebreaking will be a bit easier in May rather than March that's for sure....
Alexa, I would have loved to go the rescue route, except for Samson, we all agreed that it would be a much easier transition if the male was a pup....
Thanks you guys for your words of encoragement, it helps, now, do me a favor, no more new puppies!!! It is driving me nutz :lol:
