After much deliberation we have finally named the new puppy and I feel I can do introductions.
The newest member of our family is a Brittany Spaniel, my hunting companion to be and only Piper can rival him in perfectness.
Who was the other pup in the Sneak Peek post you ask?
Behind Trip is his yet to be named brother who is my brothers new hunting companion and I’m sure only Tyler’s current dog Turkey can rival him in perfection.
Tyler and I took a long drive to Lincoln, Illinois on Sunday and picked up our pups from Dogwood Brittanys. When we arrived to pick up the pups we discovered their new policy – “Buy six puppies and get free hats!”
Do I need to mention that my family loves these dogs? The family who is Dogwood Brittanys breed great dogs, are wonderfully nice people, their puppies are well socialized, the dogs have all been great hunters, and they personalized our hats.
Who could ask for more?
I could go on and on about the wonderfulness of new puppies, how Trip is adjusting to farm life…
…and how well the girls are doing with him…
…but I’m afraid that would only jinx things. Besides I need to go stop my wonderful puppy from eating the carpet, after all even wonderful puppies are still puppies!

Nice photos–nice-looking pup and family! Did you know we had a springer named “Tripp” (after Tripp County, SD)?
Thanks Helen, I did know about your Tripp, hope it’s alright that I’m reusing the name a bit!
