For Better, For Worse

Today is David's and my 29th wedding anniversary. What a better way to celebrate than to make an announcement--Dixie is now officially a Hillcroft collie!! She will be registered as Hillcroft Heartsong and will make her show debut in September.
Originally, this litter was to be split three ways: one puppy to Joan Kirkland of Kirkhaven Collies from where Phoebe came, one puppy to Cathy Keefer of Cadenza Collies for the stud fee and one puppy for us. With only one puppy in the litter, even my feeble math skills knew this was a problem! Cathy generously said she was satisfied knowing Danny had another offspring on the ground and only wants Dixie to do her daddy proud. Joan and I have worked out (with a brilliant suggestion from Ellen!) that Dixie will live here, be shown by us (well, really, Ellen) and Joan will lease Dixie for her first litter. Joan already has the stud picked out!
I picked up Dixie to tell her the news and she promptly bit me! Is it too late to back out or are we really stuck with "da Bad Baby"?
