The house was so empty and I was so depressed. So I give you...
Spock
Which clearly I named. He's a 4 month old lab/shar-pei mix.
Annnnnnnd....
My daughter's chosen dog Anna Beth
Believe it or not, she's a 2 month old rotwiller/shitzu mix.
As soon as they're spayed/neutered and put a chip in they're ours. Probably as soon as the end of next week.  |

I know I'm so excited. My husband said as soon as I walked into the room I had a perma grin. Spock was jumping for me and Ayla went right to hers.
Spock is gonna be a handfull. I mean he's really manic but I can train him quickly. Anna Beth is very quiet and calm. |

My daughter Mary said "Spooky's been replaced in the cuteness factor". 
Labs are allot to handle, but I don't think I'd ever live without one. First Murphy, now Spooky, they're the greatest dogs. Spooky is a black Lab/Rottie mix, and even though he's a wild man, he was easy to train, really smart.
He's a great friend.
Congrats on the new family members Tina.  |

LOL I was too lazy to look the spelling up.
BTW, the hubby isn't sold on Spock. But to me I think it suits him. What do you think? What name suits him? |

Stick with your first hunch.
Spock is a fine name.
Spooky must know I'm talking about another dog. He's head butting my knee. Tends to do that when I'm not paying attention......to him. |

How adorable!
I take it that the two pups get along with each other, or have they met yet? At any rate, being young, I am sure they will become best buds. |

Awwww!!! How cute!!! Congratulations!!!!
I like both names. I'm glad you decided to do this too!! I believe you just know in your heart if it's the right time or not!
Keep us updated on their progress!!!
As for the spelling, at least you didn't use "rockwilder"!!! I've heard that more than a few times taking 911 calls!!!  |

They have briefly been set down together where Spock imediately wanted to play and prance around little Anna Beth but there is a big size difference at 2/4 months. But I figure she's half Rot (not gonna try to spell it lol) so she'll catch up. |

As long as they each get their own sock and underwear drawer and you don't make them share the same toothbrush, they should get along just fine...

Heehee My sister-in-law is letting us borrow her crates (she has labs) for when no one is home. Rarely happens but I've come home to ripped up couches and food pulled down from the counters before.
Went and got puppy food, leashes, collars, bowls and toys. I think we're ready! |

They will be fine with each other! It may be a little rough in the beginning, but they're close enough in age and will be great! Just make sure to bring them home together. You will probably have a few fights before they settle in. One of them will establish dominance over the other.
Poor Rocky got the snot beat out of him when I got him. Mollie was a little over a year old, and there wasn't another dog in the house. She had to let him know who was boss. Attacked him a few times (gashed his face once!!!  ). They now eat out of the same dish.... Dogs..... |

Dogs most definitely have a pecking order and you
can do nothing about it. You cannot change it.
They have to work it out |

Well, I talked to the SPCA today. The application for my daughter's Anabeth has been accepted and she can pick her up next Tuesday. However, Spock (or, Elvis actually) had an application filled out for him before ours so we lost him.  Very disappointing. But when we go back to pick Ayla's puppy up we'll look there again. Hopefully we'll find something or maybe find someone around here giving mixed breeds away. We can't afford a full bred dog. Plus the mixed breeds seem to live longer. Still sad we couldn't get the one we fell in love with. |
