And He Shall Be Called...Fergus!

After much deliberation, we have decided to purchase the new canine addition to our family from the breeder in Michigan.

His name, which roughly translates to "First Choice" or "First Man" from the Gaelic, is a little inaccurate considering that he is not the product of our first breeder. However, my preference was always for a brindle (as opposed to pure black or wheaten), male Scottish Terrier, and he is that. Our original breeder's dogs are not brindled... or not much. So in some ways, he is more our first choice than our first choice of breeder could have produced.

He won't be old enough to fly for a few more weeks, so we won't bring him home until late February or early March. It will be hard to contain my enthusiasm until then, but there are preparations to be made in the meantime.

What a flight that will be! Can't imagine what it'll be like the first time you two see him (and vice versa). Bet he'll be so glad to get off of the plane.

Congratulations! I hope the time flies until you get to see him!
