5 days!

5 days left till puppy truck. Still no news on gender/breed/sex/name. I heard that there are only 4 puppies coming up on this truck because most of them are too young. So I have deduced a couple of things:

1. Our puppy will probably be young. Which means longer potty training, but like my leader says, probably a more well-behaved dog in the long run
2. There's a much smaller chance that I'm getting my LGX
3. It's more likely that our puppy will be a sibling of the other family in our club that's getting a pup!

So I'm just checking my e-mail every 5 minutes hoping for that baby announcement.

My club is awesome and threw me a "baby shower" since this is my 1st puppy with them. They gave me all kinds of really awesome things like a Furminator, puppy Christmas stocking, toys, dishes, shampoo, poo bags, and bath towels. My last club sometimes gave us puppy toys when we got a dog, but nothing nearly this big and spectacular. I really appreciate this group. :) My tradition is to give a thank you note with a picture of the puppy and the items given to each family so if I get any really good ones, I'll post them on here. I'm just freaking excited and ready for this little munchkin.

16 days

Puppy truck comes in 16 days. Still no official assignment, but it is over 2 weeks away.

Today I got to start puppy sitting Sprint


He's a total goof. 9 months old, legs are longer than he knows what to do with, and has excellent leash behavior. And I get to have him until Sunday! :)

21 days

Home inspection: done
I got the link to the video showing how to introduce the head collar and I just spent the entire time going "awwwwww!" SUCH a cute puppy. I'm going to need to watch it again. haha. Meeting with our CFR tomorrow...hopefully she'll have more info about how sure a December puppy is :)

Dun Dun Duuuun

Met with the other lady from my club today. She's great. We're on the same page. We're doing this thing. Unofficially I have 24 days until I am united with a fluffy, warm, licking, peeing ball of fur. When I re-activated the blog I picked a black background so I can change the color based on the gender of my pup. Hopefully in a little over 2 weeks we'll have a new color!
