Finally...

So...almost 60 days after losing Diesel our day finally came!  Wednesday afternoon Diesel's "girlfriend" brought 2 sweet babies into the World!!! 
One fawn baby with daddy's color and little face, and one brindle baby with daddy's size and structure.  How fortunate we are!  I've been counting down the days which have seemed like an eternity since Diesel has been gone!  And we were so sceptical as to whether or not Jada was even prego or not.  Finally after a trip to the vet it was confirmed but we were told upfront that though pregnant, she wouldn't have many pups.  This was ok with us as long as there were 2!  And 2 we got!!! 
So, with that being said and the situation surrounding all of this, we get our pick first.  How in the world do you pick between just 2???  Both of which are Diesel's blood...  deicision, decision!!!  So, between my relentless text messages and phone calls checking on what I call "my babies", I am still not sure which baby I want...So this morning I receive two picture messages, one of the brindle and one of the fawn.  What a great way to start my day!  They are doing great, Jada is such a good mama, and I realize how hard a decision I have to make!
I have thought about them all day long and I decided to ask Bray's opinion.  He sees things exactly the same way I do!  WOW! However, when it comes down to it we think we really need, not just want, the baby that reminds us the most of our sweet big boy!  So, tomorrow we will have another look at them both just to make sure.
As bad as I dread it, our babies have their first appointment at the vet bright and early in the morning to have their tails docked.  Against my better judgement, I am going because I want to not only be a part of their first trip, but I want to be able to make that first real connection.  I want to be there to comfort and love on my baby while he is away from his mama and after having this horrible thing that is suppose to be very quick and easy done to them.

The next several weeks are going to pass by quickly, so I have convinced myelf!  I am such an animal lover and Diesel was such a huge part of us that I long for this new little life to become the presence that fills our void!  I am looking ever so forward to stinky puppy breath kisses, someone who is so excited to see us everyday, and a sweet little snuggle buddy snoring in our ears! 
His name is already chosen, and after our vet trip in the morning I will introduce you to the newest member of our family!  Stay tuned! The first of many posts to come!!!
