Still no Zoey.
I spoke with Shannon, the breeder, on Thursday and the Pet Courier who is out of Austin, TX doesn't expect they will get to South Dakota until March to pick her up on his route. Shannon initially said it could take up to 2 weeks for the courier to make a pick up. There was a snow storm in SD last week, which didn't help things.
We are really anxious and have most of the preparations in place for her arrival, but this is actually not a horrible situation - we are going to be out of town the last week in February and we initially asked Shannon to hold her until we got back. But, Shannon was confident we would have her by now, so we agreed to take her as soon as we could and Cori and Bob graciously agreed to puppy sit while we were away (thanks for the offer, C&B!).
But now, Zoey gets to stay with her mama a little longer. She is only 11 weeks old (she was born on 11/26/12). And, I have time to read the dog and puppy rearing and training books we have bought and checked out from the library. We also checked out the first season of the Dog Whisperer for good measure.

Communicating with Your Dog by Ted Baer (it got great reviews)
