200th Post!!!!

So for my 200th post, I thought it should be something big, something exciting, and something extraordinary! Well lucky for you all I have some pretty exciting news!! But exciting news comes with bad news too, right? Right.

Well let's get the bad news over with first. Aniko was recently Career Changed at 10 months due to his awful alarm barking. My CFR was up a few weeks ago, and I mentioned to her about his barking, and her immediate response was I will have to drop him. Needless to say, I was shocked!! I just figured she would give me some protocol as to what to do with him and help him stop alarm barking. He will bark at door bells, when someone enters the door in our house, and at other people's house's when I am visiting and they are answering the door. Just recently he started growling/barking at those items. His alarm barking has not gotten any better it's only gotten worse. I was very bummed about him getting CC'd as he was my special golden boy and he was such an AWESOME puppy, I had high hoped for him, and I am graduation hungry it's been almost 3 years! My family and I made the hard decision to let GDB place him. They are going to neuter him and do a few months of training with him, to maybe help his barking issues.

Now for the exciting news!!!
With Aniko being CC'd, I of course was offered a puppy. How could anyone turn down a puppy?! My plan was to get one on Fun Day (July 23), but I got an e-mail from my CFR saying there was a puppy that needed a home by this weekend!! Now here where the fun happens! You all get to guess the:
~Breed
~Color
~Gender
~Name: "M" Puppy
~Birthdate

I will post the details this weekend, when I get home from picking it up!

That's so weird that you didn't get a protocol to work on him with his barking. Hilly alert barks sometimes when she hears dogs outside and I've been given a protocol to deal with it and see if she can get over it.

But good news on the new puppy! I think I'm going to guess;

Male Black Lab
Born last week of May/First week of June
Marlow, Moe, Mickey, Milton, Max, and Moss
