    Default Meet our new girl

    We haven't named her yet - our name, going in, was Eva (eve-uh). But, since seeing her, the name doesn't fit for us. Still deciding...We chose from a group of three. We watched them interact with one-another, and tried experiments such as leaving one in the pen alone with our backs turned from it. We ended up with the least-energy of the pups; I won't say low energy - but she's at least medium energy. While two of the pups were up yelping or seeking attention, our pup sat quietly gnawing at a rope or chew toy. Besides nearly getting a ticket for ENTIRELY too much cute transported across county lines, the trip went well. When we got home I took puppy to the place I want her to potty. After 10 minutes or so she started wandering around the yard. I snapped a few photos, below, of her romping. When I could see puppy getting tired, I had the kids walk to the house. I made sorta kissy sounds for the pup and whistled. She looked and I turned to walk towards the house. After 20 feet I turned to see her following. I moved to her, she stopped and headed back to the field. I whistled again, she turned. Stopped, started poopin. I clapped and cheered and praised her! When she was done, I knelt and she came bounding over to me. Bringing her inside we allowed our cats to observe her through closed glass doors. While puppy was napping on my laps the larger of our two cats visited me. He sniffed a couple times and that was that. So far, No drama at introduction. Good news indeed. A few minutes ago, my daughter was holding puppy on the couch. One of our cats walked in, sat about 5 feet away on an ottoman and napped. VERY encouraging.

    Anyone who doesn't love puppies is a cold hearted sumbitch. Very cute pup Darin.

    A cute name would be Moka. A play on mocha chocolate, she just looks like a mocha to me.

    Beautiful dogs, and much smarter than Irish Setters. When my old Irish was a pup she could have been twins with a vizsla pup we met.

    Wouldn't take much to be smarter than an Irish Setter.

    I have the kennel names at home; i'll letcha know.

    "Honey" is cute, like you.

    Within our house 'Bindi' is trending high. Maizie (daisey, but with an M) and Sophie are also trending a bit.

    Try using the various names with her and see how she responds.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
