Spirit's gal will be staying with us. It had become obvious that this may have to be a possibility so we held out one. It all unfoldded as we suspected it would. Right up to this last week, we promoted her to have some independence from her mom but it did not pan out. They are like 2 peas in a pod. I have never seen such a tight bond. Other moms have had singletons and it all unfolds.
I truly had no plans to keep another even though she will make a good continuation of that line. With all that is going on, it would have been better to wait till her next litter. But sometimes things are just to be.
So, due to dragging our feet and attempting to get her into a position of being independent enough to be in another home - well she is no name. She is Nathan's type of dogs - a hellion on wheels. Will she calm down? Time will tell. But she will be the last one standing here and the other 2 moms correct her immensely.
