Picking our puppy!

On Saturday, February 20th, we took a 2 hour car ride to El Cajon, CA to take a look at some puppies that were available at a beagle ranch.

There were three separate litters to choose from ranging from 4 to 7 weeks old. All of them were adorable and we spent a good hour playing with the pups, trying to get a sense of their personalities.

Finally, we found one and she's a cutie!



She is a 4 week old, tri color, female Beagle puppy. Super adorable, loving, and exactly what we were looking for. She will be ready to leave her mother by the 20th of March, so now we play the waiting game. The horrible, long, long, did I mention long? Waiting game.

We slapped down our deposit to hold the puppy and took our leave. On the way back home from the breeder, we stopped at Petco to pick up some puppy supplies. We had a specialist giving us information on what we needed for our new puppy. An hour later, we were back on the road to LA, already missing our soon-to-be beagle puppy, who we are naming Ginger.

Today marks Day 1 of the 27 day wait for Ginger.

We went out and bought "Beagles for Dummies" just to get a good idea about how to train and care for a Beagle. The grueling wait continues...
