In 2005 when we had just lost our beloved cat, Zeus. We decided to see if we could handle raising a dog from a puppy. Four days after Zeus died, Mac was born. Mac was a dog from an earlier litter that our breeder, Jeff Wong, who are now friends of ours, wanted to keep for himself. He was offering dogs from a later litter, in the meanwhile, we had seen these super cute dogs and one of them was Mac. The litter that we were supposed to pick wasn't even born yet. Later, while I was in Turin Italy, Neil was emailing me about this great dog and how he took it on a few walks and he was smart and cute. So we got Mac in the Spring of 2006. We had agreed to only get him when we were in the new house. But we convinced my mom that it'd only be temporary. He was a great puppy, he rarely would go pee in the house. In our arrangement with the breader, we had to 'show' Mac. Actually the breader would show the dog. Yup, just like "Best in Show". He competed in two shows but still doesn't have enough points. He'll probably finish his points in 2009. Then we will draw sperm from him and get him fixed. The breader can then use the sperm for later reproduction. I know it sounds a little weird. He's a great dog. So when we realized we didn't kill, neglect or harm him, we decided we'd be ok parents.
