WANTED....A FEMALE VIZSLA PUPPY

So ever since we had to put Dakota down, Jake and I have had several discussions about getting a new puppy and waiting until we felt it was time. Well, we both have had hesitations but I think Jake is finally ready. He wasn't all about getting another one. He felt like it was replacing the one that he loved so much. I don't know that I feel the same way. I don't feel like it is bad to replace Dakota. She made me love dogs and why not get another one?! They are a lot of work, but are so fun to have around. Two years ago when we purchased Dakota, there were several breeders to choose from. Now, there are not many. Jake really wants one and I would love to get one for graduation which is in May. I would rather get one now so I have the summer to potty train it rather than getting one in the fall. If anyone knows of one let me know! There is one up in Tremonton but she won't be ready until the end of July and I'm not sure I want to wait until then. I may not have any options but keep your eyes open for me!! Thanks!

Annie said...: oh boy do I know just the dog for you! Her name is Maya, she is a 9 year old visla with lots of spunk left in her. She is needy, neurotic, and a complete nut. She is already house trained and knows like 40 commands. What more could you ever ask for? now let's talk about price. How does FREE sound. Yes, that's right. We will give her to you for Free!; April 12, 2009 at 11:04 AM

Quotes by Miss Avery

"Can I sit on your laps?" (meaning lap) Summer 2012

We were watching America's Got Talent the other night and Avery tells me that she wants to go up on that stage, but that I would need to take her since she didn't know where it was. I asked her if she was going to sing or dance. She, of course, said dance! 7/3/12

Avery went with my parents to see Andrew (my cousin) play lacrosse. After the game, they went to get an ice cream cone. My dad asked Avery if she like her cone. She put her hand to her mouth and whispered to my mom "tell him, she's diggin' it!" They laughed so hard. 6/12

I gave Avery a brownie, "I need some milk to drink it down" 2/6/12

When Avery is tired, she tells me that her "eyes are red". 9/2011

We are in the middle of potty training, Avery had had an accident on the downstairs couch and I told her to run up and finish going potty. When I came upstairs, apparently she had to go too bad because the rug was soaked. As she is sitting there with those big blue eyes, she proceeds to tell me "It's otay mom, you tan tlean it up, it's otay." I told her that it's not okay and she argued with me back and forth! It's not a big deal that she had an accident, but I don't WANT to clean it up!! 03/4/11

I'm sitting in the computer room and Avery is eating some cereal. She yells to me that "Fresh Beat" is over and I yell back that "Go, Diego Go" will be on...she yells back "Otay!!" Obviously, she watches too much TV! 1/17/11

We were driving up to my mom's in the far left lane, driving through the river bottoms where it kind of curves, it was dark so she could see the on coming traffic, when I hear "cars are coming mom, beep!" Apparently, she thought we were going to hit the other cars!! 01/07/11

I delivered dinner to a family and came out crying, Avery asked "you need a tissue mom?". 12/22/10

Avery went to nursery, and she has been having a hard time liking it, but the last two weeks she has actually gone without crying. Apparently, her teacher said that one little girl was crying and Avery went up to her and patted her shoulder and told her "it's okay, I miss my daddy too!" 12/07/10

I was putting Avery to bed, and as I was telling her good night, she asked me "mommy tired?" I answered, "yes". She rolled over and said "Avery tired". And that was that! 11/03/10

At church we were taking the sacrament, after she had gotten the water by herself, she leans over to me and says "that was fun, mom"!! 10-24-10

I was trying to get some cute pictures of Avery in the corn maze, when out of the blue, Avery says "stop pictures, mom" 10-15-10
