pick and choose

So...new puppy comes home Friday! I temperament tested the litter Sunday and out of 7 available had 5 I would have taken. I also found out I get to pick next! I was trying so hard not to get attached to one pup that I didn't narrow down a favorite, so luckily I get to see them all again before I choose.

Seriously, how do you choose between this...

and these?

8, 8, I forget what 8 was for...

8 mile long run-check!

Totally better than 7 miler. Griff ran with me and was a total trooper. He was unflagging. I managed all the crazy hills, paced myself down the downhill so I wouldn't blow out my knees. Took a few short water breaks for me and Griff and then walked the last short monster hill to our house. Took me 1:34: 18. About 11:45 per mile, not bad. I think the actual distance was 8+ but I'll measure to make sure. It was a great run and a great confidence booster after my 7 mile disaster.

In other news, have some potentially big news coming up...but I'm not going to jinx it. Just hope hope hope for me.

Temperament testing on the litter tomorrow! 8 Aussie furballs to snuggle! Can't wait.

Gloomy days call for puppy pictures

Today is not the best day.

Puppies are good, though.

Two babies at three weeks
