I am so sorry for your loss. I am currently waiting for my new baby to be ready to come home with me and start a new begining of my own. We lost our cocker girl not to long ago and with my kids at school, the house is so quiet it screams at me. I can hardly wait to fill it up with puppy sounds again. I joined here after I made my deposit on my little Yorkie boy and have learned so much from this forum. I hope you will find it as enjoyable and informative as I have. Best of luck to you in your search for a good breeder and a new baby
