| Ch. Birchs I'm A Dream Come True Breeder: Ron and Lisa Linder When we originally were put on the waiting list we requested a female. When the puppies arrived we were sent pictures of all the little girls to take our choice. We looked them all over and settled on one. We began receiving regular updates and about 2 weeks before we were supposed to go get her, I received a phone call from Lisa. My heart sank as I heard there was a problem with the bite on the puppy Justin had chosen. She said it wasn't awful and that it might correct itself, but she felt she had to let us know. Since All the other females had been spoken for she said we could still have her at a discounted price or she would gladly refund our deposit. She then went on to say that she still had Two males that were not spoken for yet. One that she had not even offered to anyone, as she was thinking about holding on to him. She would send both pictures and we could have our choice. Upon Lisa's recommendation we chose her pick puppy and that is how Tucker came to be a part of the family. It was meant to be! |
| Tucker @ 5 weeks. This is the very first picture we saw of him. |
| This is what Justin found under the Christmas Tree! His "Gift" was only 16 days old. He still had over 5 more weeks to wait. |
| We were scheduled to drive down Monday morning to pick Tucker up. I went to the phone and called Lisa, After seeing the look on Justin's face when we heard Friday on the evening news that there was a major winter storm coming and we might not be able to make the trip as planned. Since he had been to the vet and had gotten a clean bill of health and shots, Lisa agreed to us driving down early the next morning in hopes of beating the storm. We drove the last 30 miles of our trip home in Heavy snow. |
| We arrived home Saturday evening with our red bundle. The storm had settled in and we were getting major snow fall. Sunday evening we get a phone call that our daughter-in-law is in labor. We head out in the storm again this time to the hospital to welcome William to the family. What a wonderful, Stormy weekend! |
