Hello World... Meet Tim :)

Tim :)

The talk of getting a dog has been going for a while now, we knew we could not have one in Hawaii and decided once we had a house we would get one. When talking about what kind of dog we wanted we both wanted one that was tall, dark, and handsome that loved frisbee fetching and ocean swimming. We talked about German Shepherds, Chocolate Labs, Retrievers... something along these lines of canine breeds. Then fate stepped in and pointed out to us exactly what we wanted. When we went to Zion for Carrie's wedding the ceremony was held at her brother-in-law Randy's house, well Randy had this dog, this beautiful, smart, cuddly kind of dog. I think within about 10 minutes of meeting Tess the German Shorthair Pointer, Chance and I both looked at each other across the room and gave the look... you know the "yup this is exactly the dog we want" kind of look. And the rest is history.

After arriving to Virginia we had to wait for our stuff and internet which seemed like forever, but we both had tried looking up dog breeders on our phones and we just were not having much luck. We got the internet up and running and it took a few solid hours to find anything that was close to what we were looking for. We wanted a male, we wanted a pup, a German Shorthair Pointer, we did not necessarily want a purebred because we heard that they often have more problems, so we continued to look. A lot of the new pups were from championship dogs and they wanted us to fill out these huge applications and pay a fortune. We just wanted a dog we could play and hunt with, not one that can collect blue ribbons. Then I found him! He came from a litter of  four, two girls and two boys. I sort of liked the other boy more at first, but Chance liked the darker coloring on Tim. We called up the owner the pups were born May 1st and had just become available for purchase a few days before we called. We put a deposit down and decided the 5 and a half hour drive to Pennsylvania would be worth it. So Saturday we spent a total of 12 hours in the car driving. Saturday evening we introduced our puppy to his new home. He is already learning more and more each day, he is such a cuddly dog, and we are so happy to have him finally! :)
