Our family is getting bigger!

No we aren't pregnant. Settle down. We are getting a puppy. We went to visit the puppy yesterday for the first time. She is about 4 1/2 weeks old this weekend. The breeder bred 2 champion goldens so that she could get a female for herself that would be one of her next show dogs. The litter had 2 females and 1 male. She is going to choose the best female for herself and then we will get the other one. After playing with them, we don't care which one it is. they are both adorable and both seem to have the same temperament. They were both cuddly and playful with both of us. Even the breeder said that she has no idea which one she will pick. She goes back and forth every week as to which one she will pick. For now, their names are "pink girl" and "purple girl". We had to apply to be able to buy a dog. She had a specific application that we had to fill out to see if we would be good owners. She feels very strongly that she has an idea of what type of home her dogs go to and that they are good ones. After passing the application phase, we were invited out to visit. Then after playing with them, seeing the parents, and talking it over, we put the deposit down to reserve our puppy. She will be coming home to us on July 9th. She will be 7 1/2 weeks old. I think I'm hoping we get "pink girl" and Natalie is hoping for "purple girl".
