Make Up Your Mind!
So, as some of you know, against my rational mind’s advice, I decided a few weeks ago that I would allow the two tailed girls to grow up a bit before I decided which to keep. If I were some kind of mad scientist with access to a castle complete with built in bijou dungeonette and lab, I would combine the two into one mega-Vallhund; this one’s head on that one’s body, this one’s temperament, that one’s rear, this one’s front. Failing that, I will just have to wait and see. It is very difficult to choose, they are both wonderful in their own right.
Caring for two is much harder than caring for one (Riley-formerly-Triangle-Boy is still here, so there are three to get out and about for now, but he will be going to his new home any day now). They are both in puppy preschool (thanks to Jim, who volunteered to handle one while I handled the other), and I take them out separately into the world on a regular basis. I am taking them up to visit Ulla soon in the hopes that she will help me decide with her evaluations (even though they are not at a good age for that, it should help me see them with new eyes at least a bit).
It is a very, very tough decision.

Oh wow, talk about a dilemma! I’d be campaigning to keep both of them, never mind the extra work!
We will be getting a new arrival in June, an English Springer Spaniel. She was born two weeks ago, and (obviously) looks adorable 🙂
