Brian and I will be picking up our puppy tomorrow! I know I posted her picture previously from the website, but here it is again:

We decided to re-name her.....her new name is Bailey.
We have done so much since last week. We have gotten all nagging extra chores done, thoroughly cleaned the apartment, and puppy proofed (i.e. putting all the detergents and cleaners and pills on the top shelf of the linen closet so she can't get to them, etc. etc.). We also got all the wedding stuff taken care of (I found a dress, invitations are sent out, justice of the peace is all lined up), so we are ready for her to come home with us.
I have to admit, I am a bit nervous actually. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly love this little dog. I just haven't had a dog in over a year and even before that it was always a "Family Dog", not "My Dog". I know this will be a lot of fun. I just hope she will finally feel like she's home. She's been through four homes and she's only 4 months old. I mean, there was the place she was born at, the good samaritan's house, the foster mom, the foster coordinator, and now us. And they do tend to candy-coat it a bit on the web page. When the good samaritan found her, she was dehydrated and she was skin and bones and her fur was falling out because of the malnutrition. The foster coordinator told me that if she hadn't been rescued when she was, she would have only lasted another week.
So, anyway, I am excited. We will be picking her up at 6:30pm tomorrow at the PetSmart where we first saw her. I can't wait. I am going to try to get off early from work, there's some last minute finishing touches I want to do to the apartment.
We'll be taking her to meet his parents and my parents this weekend (and my parents' dog, that should be fun). I promise I will take lots of pictures and post them here!:D :D :D :D
