And then there were two

Roz and Daphne
I'd like to introduce you to the TWO newest members of our home,
Roz
(dark brown) and Daphne (blonde).

We've been searching for a couple of months and more than one of our puppy opportunities fell through. I was getting discouraged, so this morning when Derrick and I met up with a woman who had 2 females available, I made sure not to get my hopes up. I knew I wanted a blonde-ish pup, but when we saw the sisters, we knew TWO were meant to be.

A "cockapoo" seems a great fit. These pups are not the purest cockapoos, they look much more cocker spaniel than poodle, but I think they're perfect. Roz and Daphne are 4 1/2 months old and are really timid now, but warming up to us slowly.

Daphne is very much the shy follower. She doesn't do anything without Roz's permission. Roz is the first to play and to eat, and always nuzzles up to Daphne, making sure she's okay. No doubt I'll be posting more pics now that we're a dog family. Who would've guessed?

As Kate might say: "Best. Decision. Ever."
I guess it's easy to say that 7 hours in...
