Allie! At the end of January we spent a fun filled day traveling across North Texas to find our perfect puppy. Our trip took us through McKinney, Midlothean, Fort Worth, Azle, Cleburne, and finally Blum, TX. We went to about 5 breeders before finding success in Blum, which is 2 hours from McKinney (more on that later)! Once we saw her we new immediately that she was the one. She was more money than we wanted to spend so we left the breeder to discuss the purchase. Once we talked about it we knew we had to go back and get her. Brett called the breeder back and negotiated the cost down to our price range. She's a pure breed German Shepherd and was 8 weeks old and 9 pounds when we found her. To give a little background on her family, her grandfather (mother's side) was a Seach and Rescue dog on duty during the 911 World Trade Center disaster. Her grandfather (father's side) was on Walker Texas Ranger (word is he taught Chuck Norris how to do a round-house kick).
We thought we had come prepared with some old sheets & towels for the long ride home. We got her settled in my lap for the long drive and made our way out of town. We were only a few miles from the breeder when Allie got car sick. Not a good start! I wish I could say that was the only time, but she had problems the whole ride home. Needless to say, both of us were in need of a good shower when we were finally home.
