Visiting Elway: take two

At four weeks, the breeder let us visit him again. This time I dragged my parents along for the drive (Allyn is a drive. Best done by motorcycle).
He was bigger, but still not fluffy yet! I loved him (of course) and I think my parents tolerated my craziness. Garrett was starting to really like the little guy, mostly in deference to my obsession with him. Halfway through our time with him he and the rest of the litter ate breakfast from mom, and we found out how messy a puppy can get.


How could Garrett not love something that looked as cute as Elway did?

Elway meets Michele and Garrett

The first meeting:

When he was just 2 weeks old the breeder allowed us to visit him for a short time to check him out and make sure he was perfect for us.
Elway looks so excited to meet his new mommy. He was so small, and becuase we where cold from our motorcyle ride I was scared that I would get him sick. Puppies can't regulate their own temp, so they stay in a puppy pile to conserve wormth. When he got back in the pile I made sure to help him to the good warm spots in the bottom of the pile.





He was just so little that first visit. We both marveled that this tiny little being would one day go home with us. He didn't have much of a personality, but I was still in love with the little guy.
