Houston....the Stork Has Landed!

I had Rottweilers for years. In my opinion, they are
the best dogs ever!! Loyal, faithful companions. My
last one passed away about 6 years ago now,
and I still miss her very much. Sometimes I find
myself calling her name when I call my other dogs in
from the yard (none of which are Rotties). After she
died, I couldn't bring myself to get another, mainly
because I didn't really like what I was seeing in the
breed. Time passed, and I ended up with some very
sweet little terrier-type dogs who are fun but loud!
Bark bark bark! I think they believe their names are
"SHUT" and "UP"! But I digress...
I'd been thinking about starting the search for another Rottie recently, since getting a pup does require forethought and research to find a good breeder, make contact, and then wait for a litter to be born with the right bloodlines that I like. I was figuring it may take a year or so. But what you put out to the universe often gets answered quickly! Lo and behold, a breeder friend of mine let me know about a litter that was about to be born, and it fit the bill perfectly! Not only that, but I also got to choose "pick bitch" (which means the nicest female pup in the litter). And so.....in the wee hours of the morning of August 7, 2007, little Kyoto made her way into the world, and apparently in a very unfeminine but typical Rottweiler fashion, clawed her way to one of mommy's teats and has been stuck to it ever since! That's my girl!! She was the first born too. In 7 weeks, there will be the little pitter patter of puppy feet around here! Wait...who am I kidding? There won't be any delicate pitter-pattering, there will be a sound akin to a herd of bulls running through the house! Sigh! Time to start puppy-proofing! And get used to the idea of being covered in bruises from a burly, black, clumsy, uncoordinated creature who's main joy in life is to try and make me go ass over tea-kettle! It will be so much fun raising a puppy again, and I say that tongue-in-cheek. Puppies can be real pains for the first 18 months, and they are a lot of hard work, but the reward of having a companion and protector for the next decade or so far outweighs the trouble!
