AQSpees: newest addition to the family

it seems like everyone my age is having kids. since i cant seem to keep goldfish alive, younguns are out of the question. zermatt, the one-eyed st bernard that came with the house, died last year and i had a tough time getting over it, so wasnt interested in getting another dog.

that said in dec, my buddy brooks came to the house on a friday and since the only thing to do in mtn city is go to the roan valley auction, we headed into town. as we walked in, there was a crate of puppies in the back of the auction house and i leaned over to brooks 'my goodness theyll sell anything here.'
after sitting for awhile we couldnt stand looking at anymore antique tobacco planters or used pressurized hydraulic lines and hearing 'can i get 3 dollar bill hubba-hubba-hubba .... SOLD!'
as we walked out, we stopped to look at the pups. the lady, named scrappy, told us 'them's daddy was a full great pyrenees, and the bitch were's a half australian shepherd n golden retriever.'
'huh.. interesting mix' i told brooks.
'yeah you should get one.'
'how old are they ma'am?' i asked her.
'6 weeks and they aint never been inside'
'ok is that an asset?'
'they's tough'

can you pick her out?

on the drive home we discussed names 'panda?, dinkus?, goofus?, goofball?'
'what about paying homage to her roots? roan valley auction?' brooks suggested
'perfect! roan valley auction it is. we'll call her roan for short'

introducing ms roan!!!

the first night i slept with the pup up in the loft and brooks slept on the couch directly below. i laid out newspapers for her on the wooden floor slats in case she had an accident. in the middle of the night i hear brooks cussing and rustling around. apparently the pee had soaked through to newspaper on dripped on him. so it begans.
