 We are very excited about our new arrival - we already have a name - Dakota, but we don't know if we are getting a male or a female yet. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated. This will be our first pet, and we are very excited. Looking forward to getting involved on this board!

  Hi and welcome!!  I'm fairly new here as well.  I have not been able to have children either, and will be getting my yorkie boy Bailey on Friday.  I can understand you excitement!

I think your new puppy will help ease a lot of the pain you have suffered, and bring much joy to your lives

 You will find this forum and the posters so helpful!!  All the best to you and your hubby
