Hi guys
so i dont have an individual comment system worked out for this blog yet so I have to post one big response to all of you. Rest assured! The ability to respond to individual comments will be something that happen soooon. That said, thanks so much for your thoughtful responses.

David- please, no apologies my friend. I joke about the guilt "thrown around" but quite honestly no one has ever been non-supportive to me. I appreciate your words and that you even took the time to write, as i know how busy you are. Thanks again! I'm sure i'll be asking for advice up the ying yang once we get the beast.

steve= you took the words about breeders right out my mouth! I plan to do a post talking about responsible breeders and backyard breeders eventually but I think you summed up my feelings about breeders quite nicely.

Tracy= You are so right about the flavors! Goodness, if swissy's were a candy that's exactly what they'd be!

OP= love you!
Ryan= I'm so glad i entertain you. I miss you viking!
