Introducing Poky and Panda Bear

I received some bad news about the house I was purchasing.  To make a long story short, during the appraisal it was discovered that the house was a different type than was originally thought, and that caused a change in the type of financing I could get and therefore I am not going to be purchasing that house after all.  I was very disappointed, so when I received an e-mail less than an hour later asking if I could help with some puppies, I decided to just say yes!  A "puppy fix" was exactly what I needed to make me feel better - and to give me the motivation to keep searching for another home.

So yesterday I brought home Poky and Panda Bear.  They are only six weeks old.  Poky looks a bit like the puppy in the famous children's book The Poky Little Puppy.  He acts like him too - compared to his sister, he is a lot slower, more laid back, and likes to go off on his own to explore.  Panda Bear is more outgoing, friendly and playful.  They are both wonderful, and have definitely cheered me up.
