Guinnie was born on September 15th, 2007 and joined the Yeaman clan on November 21st as an early Christmas present from Lance to me! At first we were both a bit cautious about embarking upon this 15 + year responsibility, going down the list of all the ways this could inhibit our current newly married, carefree lifestyle. But the minute we laid eyes on little Guinness, our minds we made up. Lance had picked out the perfect little pup. We were in love. The little doe-eyed, pint sized pup had stolen our hearts and we knew he was ours. Originally, we went in to the breeder completely having a name in mind for our new addition (which I will keep to myself in case we use it for future additions) but after laying eyes on our boy with his deep black little body and white capped paws and tail…the name immediately came to Lance. His little pup of choice perfectly mirrored his beverage of choice. After a day or so of consideration, my apprehension to naming our first dog together after an alcoholic beverage began to dwindle. We knew that we wanted his middle name to be “St. James” after the cathedral we married in and after one quick Google search on the history of the beer and the site name of it's first brewery, the deal was sealed, apprehension gone. Guinness was his name (oh).

This is a really cute picture of you two. Not to mention a cool story.
