Meeting Nina!

Today I finally got to meet her.

Nina and I

She is living in a ranch with horses and 8 other boxers. Very different life than she will have in Inman Park. Well, she wasn't always there. The guys told us that she was with a family, but they had a baby and wasn't working out, so brought her back! I would never do that. If I had a baby and they didn't like her, well, I guess the baby would have to go! :)

They told us the family had given her a redneck name: Daisy May! So cute. And now she gets a high brow name, Nina, after Nina Simone. The family told me they'd start calling her Nina now, so she starts getting used to it!

She is really sweet and well behaved for a boxer puppy for sure. She was off the leash and wouldn't go far from the house at all (and there was a lot of room for sprinting, that's for sure!). She also let me pick her up a few times and was on my arms for a while. Would be somewhat still for pictures, too. My boxers weren't that way! She had another puppy she was playing really well with, so I am glad I have so many friends with nice dogs for play dates or she would miss other dogs companies!

Her mom was a good looking old boxer lady (she's 8) and as you can see, she gave me her blessings to adopt her daughter!

Nina's mom giving me her seal of approval!

Now good luck to me having to wait another freaking 4 weeks till I bring her home!
Can't you tell I'm completely in love?

Puppy smell!

Thanks to my friend Monica who came with me on the long drive to Silver Creek (almost Alabama!) and also got some puppy love!

Can you see the size of my smile?

Now let the countdown begin!!!
