Oh my gosh that long wait...I recall it well. Looking for the breeder, waiting to know for sure the pregnancy took then waiting for them to be born--- waiting for pics and then the big wait till we could choose and take home our boy....whewww, then you can't wait for them to grow up and then when they do you want that little pup again.
My favorite time with Zak was those first months home when I would take him out in the wee hours of the morning and could hold him close and hear those little squeels....so precious.
