Third Try Is A Charm?

This little thing is what has been keeping me busy this past week.  She is a 7 week old ( 8 weeks old on Dec 6th ) Rottweiler puppy.

After failed attempts to find a dog of the right age/size/temperament/heartworm neg anywhere local for months (50+ dogs again between here and parts of Mississippi), including the recent incident with the touch reactive foster that nearly bit me, my family agreed another puppy might be the best way to go.  Except this time no GSD, and lets try a female instead.

So here she is.  We are doing the same thing with her that we did with Journey and Chakotay, to see what names are fitting.

She is a little spitfire, full of spunk and attitude. And damn is she fast.  A little whirlwind running around the yard, dashing through all the leaves as she snorks and chomps at them.  It's been rainy and overcast so I haven't been able to get a good video of her doing this yet.

She is already weighing 14lbs and fitting into the harness I had the boys in when they were at least two weeks or more older than she currently is.  She doesn't look like she weighs that much.

Here are the names we have narrowed down:

Ripley ( Heroine  Lt. Ripley from the Aliens movie franchise; aka Badass Bitch. ;)   )

Makani ( Wind, Hawaiian; May-Kah-nee )

Kira ( Dusky, dark haired one )

Karma ( Destiny, Listen )

Will share more info and pictures later.
