A whole new world!

I just got a note from Julie, Pip's breeder:

Letting you know that Pip’s eyes were open this morning. They start out squinty and have  a blue cast which is normal. She was definitely looking at me and curious. What a sweet little girl!  

I chose Julie as a breeder and Jane as the mother dog quite a few months ago now. It's been a long, long wait, first for Jane to go into heat and then for her to have her puppies, and now I've still got over 9 weeks of waiting before I bring Pip home. But despite my impatience, this has definitely been the right way to go. I know I'm going to look back on this time with great fondness, being so very conscious of the presence on the planet of one particular little puppy from the day she was born. And Julie is so wonderful to be keeping me up to date with news!
