Heather,
It's so funny that your boy is a "Malimi" baby. When I first found Jayde, she put us on the waiting list for a puppy by Tori (Emberstouch The Temptress) and Joey (Malimi's Imagine That)! Tori was ultrasounded and was expected to have 8 puppies, so we were hoping for a girl. Unfortunately, when the puppies were born, only three survived, and they were all boys (we want a girl so there won't be any problems with our two male dogs). Jayde never went into details about what happened but it was Tori's first litter and I guess it's not uncommon for them to have complications sometimes. We told Jayde we'd just wait for the next litter from Codi. So we almost had a Malimi baby too. I guess Jayde and Lisa must know each other really well.
I LOVE Jackson's name. That is very cute! Marley kept sticking in my head too. Each time I went over names on the lists off the internet, I kept coming back to Marley. Jayde and I haven't talked about a CKC name for her yet, just her call name.
I know what you mean about spoiling Jackson. I have already spent about $300 in supplies for Marley (crate, exercise pen, large bed, toys and chews for days, etc., etc.) mostly off the internet. I am addicted to Dr. Fosters and Smith. They seem to have really good prices for everything and the shipping isn't too bad, plus I don't pay tax. Marley will definitely be a spoiled girl since we will be the only females in the house. She's going to be the surrogate daughter I never had.
Anyway, I'm so glad to be talking to you. Feel free to e-mail me anytime. We can exchange photos of our babies as they grow and share all the funny and frustrating antics they pull as well.
