Tammy,
Thanks. Yes, I am a little excited. I have August 26 down as Jackson's twelve week birthday so sometime around then. The kids come over every other weekend and a couple of days during the week. His "birthday" falls right between two weekend visits so I'm thinking maybe having him come home for a weekend at eleven weeks with the kids, just for the weekend. I thought it might be easier on him to come over with the kids who he will be intimately familiar and comfortable with by that point. Then, he could go back with them for a week at the end of the weekend and I could bring him home the following weekend.
I'm not holding my breath for the other pup but if I get him as well I've decided against Ozzie and fallen back to another name on my list. The kids have been calling him Bear so far because he was quite a bit bigger than Jackson, at least initially, and he just looks like a big teddy bear in the face. If I get him, I think I want to name him Sawyer.
If work permits and Jackson (and possibly Sawyer) are old enough and had all their shots, we wouldn't miss the get-together. I really want to expose them to as many new people and animals and situations as possible early on and under safe, supervised conditions.
