Finding Fluffy

For the past 3 years I have been planning to adopt a furry four-legged friend. The biggest challenge was finding a dog that didn't set my allergies to DEFCON 1. After researching different breeds I found that Old English Sheepdogs had the personality and characteristics that I was looking for, but how would my allergies fare to this particularly shaggy breed? I found a local breeder who was gracious enough to send me a baggy of their dog's fur. I placed the baggy next to my desk and rubbed the fur on my face around my eyes ...systems check ...eyes intact ...nose and respiratory systems functioning ...all systems go!

I am excited to say that next Friday we will be welcoming an adorable 8 week old Old English Sheepdog to her new home. But before we do that, we need to settle on a name. We are leaning towards Ellie, but we have also considered naming her: Lulu, Waffles, and Journey. If you have an idea or suggestion for name, post it in a comment, I would love to hear it!

    Cute puppy Cameron. I love my dogs. We have Patch and Tink. Maybe something like "Tiny" since it will be a larger dog (65 lbs) would be funny.You could go over the edge and call it "sit" then give it the command to "stand" in order to have it sit. Imagine saying "stand Sit." You could go the other way around if you're a Stephen King fan. OK, I'm over the edge here. All the best!

    F.D.R. had an Old English Sheepdog named Tiny, I guess great minds think alike! I like the idea of having inverse commands, although I think this would end up confusing me more often than not. I will try to post some more pictures tomorrow.
