Congrats!!! "Trace"...great name, and fitting...as he will leave you marks around the house so you can find him!! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!!) I am so excited for you!! Maybe you could "happen" to think of new puppy questions each day that you "must" go next door to get answered..why call when they are right next door?
Hmmm...."may I borrow a cup of sugar?"..."my kid's ball went in your backyard".....
