Betsy and I are expecting an addition to our family - a little girl St. Bernard (you really didn't think we were going to have a human baby, did you?). We have been talking with a breeder in Era, TX who had a litter born on January 2nd - Betsy's birthday. We thought that was a sign and the family that breeds and raises these puppies appears to be great at it!
The puppy's birth name is Codie (after her father Dakota). She has similar markings as her dad - a white speck on her ear and a brown spot on the top of her head.
We plan to meet the breeder in Alberqueque, NM the weekend of March 3rd to pick up our new little addition - but from all the books we've been reading at 8 weeks old she'll already be about 20 lbs.
We are debating on her name at this point - so perhaps you can weigh in with your comments...we thought either Kota (short for Dakota after her dad) or Barley (beer, beer - more beer). What name do you think fits her best??
Hope you enjoy these couple of pictures. Soon we'll have some before/after shots of our recent remodelling projects - 2 bathrooms and a bedroom redesign.

Codie - around 3 weeks old.
