Last night Jenny and I went out to Gap View Ranch and Kennel to pick out our 4 week old puppy, Bruce Wayne. We’ve been able to pick out his parents at our first visit, see him just after being born on our second visit, and now it was time to pick our pup.

We had our choice of the 5 males in the litter and I’ve never made a more tough choice. It took us 90 minutes to decide. We had to end up each taking one puppy, loving on it for a few minutes, then swapping for each other’s puppy. Once we decided between those two, we’d put one back. During the course of this, one of the little guys decided that taking a nap on my shoe was a good idea.

We got down to the final two and could not possibly make a decision. Jenny walked to the other side of the pen and called to the pups. The first one who ran to Jenny with his tail wagging was our pick for B-Dubs. We spent some time loving on him and getting pictures, real bonding time, then left him with the litter. We’ll be back to pick him up on Father’s Day, June 21st at 11am. We’re both incredibly excited.

A big thank you goes out to Dave and Anne at Gap View for making this process so incredibly easy. They truly do run an amazing kennel and I know they work their fingers to the bone.

We assembled some video and pictures for you of the event.
