Meet Tessa. We bought her today from an online breeder.
Let's see now, the East Coast O'Connell's made it three months- it's been exactly two for us between dogs. We are obviously the weaker of the clan.
No one can ever replace my greatest dog ever-Dixie- but we miss her and we miss having a dog to cuddle with.
I have searched for weeks for another golden. They are really hard to come by around here. You have to fill out reams of paper work and jump through ridiculous hoops. Rescue shelters want to be co-owners- so it's sort of an open adoption. One breeder won't even let you choose your own dog! Potential buyers come and pow-wow with all of the other people who want a puppy then you all come back another day when the litter of puppies are ready to go home. At that time, the breeder chooses your dog for you.
That is just stupid.
So, I had to pay 1,000 times more than my .18 cent raise can afford- but LOOK AT THAT FACE! I love her!
She's coming to my house next week, and we are excited to meet her and smell her lovely puppy breath.
XOXO,
Kimberley
