It feels like he has been with us forever, yet not long enough.

| Our first glimpse of Gideon's litter |
We had 3 breeders to choose from. Meeting the first breeder felt like a really bad date - I'm not sure why - they were just rather snotty for no reason and we felt like we'd done or said something wrong afterwards.
The second breeder had all these awards and championships to show us, but something didn't feel right. Their dogs were also extremely aloof - never a good sign for a well socialized puppy.
The third breeder was JUST right. We loved them instantaneously, and (we feel) vice versa. Their dogs were amazing, and they lived only 20 minutes from us (a feat considering we lived in the middle of nowhere, Chesterville, at the time).
As soon as Gideon's mom became knocked up, we had his name chosen before he was even born.
As soon as we were able to visit the puppies, we visited 2-3 times a week - we were both excited, and literally there was nothing to do in Chesterville after work.

| PUPPY!! |
 |
| Puppy swarming!! |
We gave the breeder our top two puppies that we were interested in, and a few days later, we were told we were taking home "White" puppy. Each puppy had a coloured collar - each different - so they could tell them apart.

| It's a boy! |
We were so happy that he was ours

| So much love to give! |
That is the beginning of the Gideon Story. There are many more stories. Many more blog days!
The dog who hopes he gets another Birthday Cookie today :)
