Ahh! This can't happen...but it did! I was roaming the Idaho Humane Society webpage (www.idahohumanesociety.com) to see if they had updated, because I have been searching since spring for a puppy/dog that captured my heart.
A few weeks ago I decided that I need to stop
looking so hard for a dog because I'm in school again, and I wouldnt have time to raise a good dog, and potty training in winter... (these are some of the things I would do, I was so desperate for the "right dog": asking everyone of my friends if they knew anyone who had a dog they didnt want, checking every shelter in a 50 mile radious, reading every "pet section" in every newpaper I can get my hands on!) I was kind of holding out for a Saint Bernard rescue pup (puppy because I wanted to get familiar with it before it weighed more than I do ), but so far, all I have come up with is pet store puppies from mills-and I wont go there. :mad: (dont you just feel so sorry for those animals? :( )
Anyway... I went to go get a glass of water while I waited for the pictures on the main page to load, and when I came back, what did I see but the most beautiful, precious, adorable face I ever saw!!!!! I litterly almost choked on my water I was so impressed by this darling puppy! This doesnt happen often...in fact, never. I love dogs-every size, shape, form- but never truely fell in love with one. (unless you count the dog we already have ) But...I think I just did fall in love with one...
My problem is- I am so terribly busy with school. Fall and winter are approaching quick. And the toughest one---MY MOM! :D She knows how BADLY I want a dog, but she thinks like I do- not enough time for a pup.
Well, the silly thing is, all of those problems have answers. Busy with school--but there is always someone at home during the day. Winter/pottytraining--This puppy is already partly pottytrained. And my mom-- Probably could be talked into it. But we have one more problem. Tomorrow is my brother's birthday. (the 29th) He has always felt that I am spoiled more than he is. (I'm the baby...hence "dababy") Well, if I get a dog anytime near the 29th-he'll think that I'm more special than he is.
Okay, I just rambled and rambled on there...but I cant help it! I'm in love with a puppy I virtually can't get!
Oh man, I dont even know why I'm posting this. Will you people please help me with this? Is there some medication you take to "fall out of love"? :D Well, if you guys dont see how I could fall in love with a puppy just by seeing it, I'll post the picture:

See what I mean? Look at those puppy wrinkles! Here is her story:
Boxer mix puppy - 9 weeks old - "Scrappy" - Female. Probably better in a home without little children and does like to be the dominant puppy but like other dogs. Energetic and loving. Partially house trained. Crate trained. Prefer an owner who has had experience raising and training puppies.
I'm not to fond of the name Scrappy, because there is nothing 'scrappy' about her! And it's quite a coinsidence...the dog I have now, 7 year old Brutus, is a boxer mix! Brown with a spot on the chest even.
Okay, like I said before, I dont really know why I'm posting this...maybe for some input by you wonderful people! What should I do? Pursue or forget?
Thanks for all your time it took to read this. I really appraiciate it. ;)
