Puppyraising descisions

We got two pieces of news today... One- Phoenix had a date yesterday! Yay! Does anyone out there know FYL Mamie? I looked her up on the GDB Flickr site and she looks super cute- in about 4 weeks we'll get an ultrasound and see if it takes. If it does puppies will be due mid-July  and will go out mid-September. Cross your fingers for him.

Next- we found out Judith's person won't be able to keep her as a retired Guide. She recently got a new dog (FBL Kalissa) and it's hard on a single, older woman to have 2 dogs. So... this means we get the option of getting sweet Judith back. That's a tough decision. It seems like it would be easy... but watching Vinnie get older is tough enough... I don't know if I could do it with another one of my dogs (she's 11 as of yesterday). From what I've heard from her person, she likes to go on a walk a day, but will mostly lounge around the house. I do want her back... but...

Lots of decisions... I'm waiting to hear back to see if my parents want her- then we get to decide if they can't take her. Deep Breath...
