We took a road trip to pick out 

a new family member today....

"Red puppy" (her pre-name, name) is a female brindle Great Dane!

 

Here's her BIRTH FAMILY! (well, with audra holding the baby)

We don't get to bring her home until Tuesday & it was really hard to drive away & leave her behind!

And gee...I didn't take a photo of her Gigantic, Gorgeous Sire, Apollo.

(I think I was just too busy playing with the puppies...there were 8 in all!)
But here's a photo of Dam Nesta with the pups when they were 1st born back on July 5th.

and the pup we've chosen in all her teeny tiny glory....

It was super hard to pick...but this sweet girlie was awake the whole time we were there.
She was quiet & gentle, wasn't licking or biting, and seemed so content to be held,
without any signs of shaking or fearfulness.

We think we've made the right choice!

...but her brother was a gentle guy too...(Louis shocked me when he said we could take both),
I'm just thinking 2 might have been a little much?

It was Tempting Though...Seriously!
