My breeder is raising her two young grandchildren, and not only do they both call her "Gigi," our Gigi's "real" name is actually Regina--which is the breeder's given name. (My daughter liked the name Regina because it meant "Queen" and (duh, Mom), Gigi is "English.") Between stealing her Grandma...

I would LOVE to hear how things go for you! There's such a good mix on here of people who seem to know SO much and people (like me!) who are new and apprehensive. I can't get enough of all the good advice that's available, but it's so great to have people to "grow with" too. Tucker = too, too...

Hahahaha! I just paid for her Trupanion policy yesterday, and also set up her vet appointment. We're going the day after she comes home....and were lucky enough to find a vet that specializes in EBs that's really close by--about 11 miles away. You made ME feel better :). I'm willing to admit...

Todd, I am so excited for you! We bring home our Gigi on June 24th, and it made me giggle to read such an exact description of my own feelings :D. Everyone within 50 miles of us is SICK of hearing about The Fabulous and Beautiful Gigi! I've bought a ridiculous amount of puppy items and toys, I...

We bring her home on June 24th. I am just so excited!!!

Our awesome breeder sent us new pics of our Gigi, and I had to share! CANNOT WAIT to bring her home!!!

I've been kind of worried about the insurance thing, too. I think I settled on Trupanion, just from the comments and information here on the site. But I'd be really interested to know what you vet has to say and what you decide. Let me know! And I'm so glad to hear things are going well so far!

Your Gus has the same coloring as our Gigi--who we're also waiting (very impatiently!) to take home. We don't get her until the 24th....so you're in better shape than we are.....and she's our first bullie too. Welcome and I'm really looking forward to seeing pics of your guy and hearing how...

She is beautiful--such a pretty brindle! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your avatar pic. Welcome!

SUPER excited :). We're getting close enough where we are putting her crate together this week and putting out her basket of toys and putting her grooming stuff in the bathroom cabinet..... How is everything going with Daisy? With my human children I HATED potty training....that's probably what...

We were pretty determined to take Gigi to "puppy kindergarten" and puppy training--and it would be at a local PetSmart. I know NOTHING about dog training or dog trainers, except what I've read in books while we're waiting for her to come home with us. What kind of questions could I ask or...

Awww, he is too cute! With his little "black eye" he looks like a dog you'd see in a TV commercial. Love it!

I live about a mile away from the Hobart shelter....This whole situation is sad, but mostly because it could have been AVOIDED. The dog really didn't "turn without warning," I don't think--it sounds like there was a person who misguidedly thought she was helping or saving the bullie by...

Phew. I feel SO relieved to know that the right people are aware of this now. Thank you, NikkiSchoolcraft and JeannieCO!!!

He is so handsome! Every (non-EB, non-forum) person who's heard we're expecting a puppy has had tons of negative things to say: she'll chew up the house, she'll pee all over our carpet, she'll have tons of health problems, blah, blah, blah. I'm SO not expecting puppy perfection. But hearing so...
