This morning, Mrs MercMan and I took the Golden Eagle Ferry across the Mighty Mississippi in order to visit the farm of the breeder of our Golden Retriever pup. It was a fun drive through rolling Illinois countryside on narrow roads often lacking striping or shoulders. We finally arrived at Sievers Kennels, and with the help of owners Gary and Gina, picked our little Daisy from a gorgeous litter of Goldens.
We still have to wait a couple weeks to pick her up so she can be with her Momma and littermates the recommended 7 weeks. She's been chipped, so we can identify her from her siblings, and can't wait to bring her home for good. Unfortunately, we only had a film camera, so we don't have pictures, but the Sievers promised to get some updated shots on their web as soon as possible.
Sleep tight, little Daisy, and get bigger and stronger every day. Know that your human Mom and Dad already love you and can't wait to have you with us all the time!

Awwwww. I like the name Daisy...its cute! Loki named herself. All of our animals have earned their names.
We're counting down until we can see her...
I SO CANNOT WAIT TO MEET DAISY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gimlet sounds excited to meet his new sister! I can't wait to compare puppy stories!! You should get some fluffy squeky toys, Loki goes nuts for hers. Her fave is Mr. Hippo- a grey hippo that squeks! When we first got her, Mr. Hippo was bigger than Loki's head, and she still tried to play w/ it! It was sooo funny!
We might have to stop looking at the Sievers Kennels website (www.sieverskennels.com). There are so many cute Retrievers and Labs available it makes it harder to stop at just one pet!
no small fluffy toys...they look too much like chinchillas!
