Kismet

I was just about to start this blog with an apology and then I decided, "No way". I'm not about to apologize for the excitement I have in my life right now for the little being that is about to bless this house with unconditional unstoppable puppy love energy.

I know I posted quite a few pictures and a video of our new addition on Facebook over the weekend, but we are so excited to have little Marbles in our lives. The litter reached their 8wk mark this past week and most of his litter mates went home, but before we knew we were getting a new little guy in our lives we made plans to go to the beach for Christmas.

We decided it would be much better for Marbles to stay with Golden Grams, our breeder (Judy), while we went to the beach. We want his first place away from his birth home to be his forever home for the ease of transition on him.

He won't be alone. Don't you worry one little bit about him. He will have his puppy Momma, Chatter, there with him along with a sister and a brother. Plus there are plenty of animals at Golden Grams house.

We went to see him this weekend, even though we knew we would be leaving him there with Grams. We sat in the barn with all the families that were there to take their babies home and visited and played with puppies for about three hours. It was so much fun and we are so freakin' excited. We literally keep eking out little squeals of delight. Sunday morning when we were pretending he was already here, Keri said, "We're going to have to calm down when he's actually here. We need to be the calm leaders of the pack that he will need to feel secure". She's so cute and so ready. She placed his crate in it's place in the bedroom, so we can acclimate to it's presence so we don't bump into it and startle the little guy in his sleep.

OMG!!! I just remembered that we were watching, "I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown" on Saturday evening. That was the day we went to see Marbles, and like we had never seen it before this scene comes on,... and I don't know how familiar most of you are with Snoopy and his cast of characters, but Keri has been a huge fan since she was tiny. She had a Snoopy bathing suit when she was little and carried a Snoopy around with her everywhere. She had, what she thought was all of Snoopy's siblings too and used to build houses for them out of record covers. So, we always watch all the Carlie Brown specials.

This time though we saw something we had never seen before. Rerun, Linus and Lucy's younger brother really wanted a dog for Christmas. He went to Charlie Brown's house and asked if he could borrow Snoopy. Snoopy wasn't having it, but the subject of Snoopy's siblings came up as an option and the very first one mentioned was Marbles.

Wha- wha- WHAT????? Yes, that's right. Keri's lifelong love of Snoopy and all the years she has watched Snoopy cartoons she never remembered him having a sibling named Marbles, but there he was clear as day. We quickly jumped on the interwebs and Googled, Snoopy's brother Marbles.

Lo and behold, there he was. So, not only is our Little Marbles a nephew of Waffles, but his namesake, is also a brother to Snoopy. This could not be any more perfect!!!
