Hey everyone! So I figured I would hop on here and announce the new puppy will be here this afternoon!!! I'll make sure I post some pictures tonight! I'm so excited!

Awesome! I'm excited for you. Love the early puppy days. Can't wait to see the pics.

Wonderful.
Enjoy every minute of the puppy crazies and know that it all passes too quickly.. which is good and bad.

Have fun.

Aaaaaaaaah I'm sooooo excited for you Rob!!!!!! The puppy crazies do past fast! You'll love every minute of it!

This is Padme!

She's so cute!!!! I love the ears! More pics!!!

Very cute. Looking forward to any changes with coat pattern as the pup ages.

Stock up on good alcohol or take up Tai Chi or any combination of solid relaxation techniques. No doubt we'll be hearing a lot more from you...but don't forget pictures.

Haha. Yeah she's pretty wild so far. Just got back from the vet's office. She's exactly 9 weeks old today, and weighed in at 18lbs. Everything turned out really good.

She's absolutely adorable! Enjoy the cute puppy days, they never seem to last long enough. Keep the pics coming! They're feeding my puppy pic addiction.

On a side note... it's nice to see another Robert Jordan fan. My bookshelf looks very similar.

Oh yes. Robert Jordan, R.A. Salvatore, David Goodkind, Terry Brooks, and Star Wars have it pretty much filled.

And I'll be sure to keep putting pictures up as the days go by. She's quite the little ball of terror right now. I love it!

Lol... I did kinda figure there'd be at least a bit of Star Wars in there too, since you named your pup Padme. My GSD Hopper actually was named for the wolf in the Wheel of Time.

Hey Benjamin. Ohhh I never even thought about that. That's a good choice for a GSD too. Yeah I went with Padme, and when I get a male, he'll be Anakin.

Hah! Anakin and Padme. Padme is, of course, older… She's too cute. I love the pic of her looking up going, "What?"

It looks like my bookshelf...rereading wheel of time now, also everything from raymond feist and sword of truth serie...yep fantasy freak

Cute puppy to, btw

Thank you Selena! Yeah this puppy is a handful! And STUBBORN!!!

So at 9 weeks, most puppies come running when you call their name excitedly, grab toys, etc. I call her name, do all of the above mentioned, and she looks at me like "Yeah right" and ignores me. I've never seen that from a puppy! And she is a total diva. Cracks me up.

And oh yes, Terry Goodkind is amazing. One of the best series I've ever read. I've 56 books in to the Star Wars series so far. Incredible story line. Yep everyone knows Padme was a total cradle robber, so I had to get Padme first, and in 2 years or so I'll get male. That's like 14 years in doggy time

After that you just need widened old barn cat named Yoda.

Glad you're having fun with her. She's definitely a cutie.

Oh so adorable !!! Congratulations !!!

Just reread my post... I'm not sure how one would "widen" a barn cat but I pretty sure I meant "wise". ipad auto correct does some strange things.

Thank you for all the congratulations. She's doing really good so far. And holy smokes is she smart. So far she's already learned sit, down, and we're working on stay today. When we go for walks and I stop, she automatically sits down next to me, and doesn't move until I take a step first. I've definitely never seen a 9 week old puppy like this before!
