We're getting a puppy!!! :D :D :D - updated 2/23

[.sarah]

I took Mandy for a walk today and ran into a lady who has an 11 week old male black Lab pup that is in training to be a service dog. Mandy did good with him, so now I am really not worried about her and the new pup. He was a-dor-a-ble and I just smooshed his face and kissed on him so much! I also ran back to my house and grabbed Nova to play with him, and she looooved that!!

Also, the lady two houses down has a black lab that I originally thought she was just letting get fat, but turns out she was preggo. The pups are 5 weeks old now and I am going to go visit them. (No I'm not getting one of those pups instead - like I said, I'd rather rescue). I just want to see if she is a good breeder or a BYB, I am really very curious.

It's been just over 24 hours since my parents said "yes" and I am SO incredibly anxious you cannot even imagine! I want to bring my baby home! I told my mom today that this is the last dog until Mandy is gone and if I even think about another dog she has my permission to slap some sense into me. lol. Maybe since this is my "dream" dog I will be satisfied (probably not lol).

Yep, definetly!

The lady from the rescue hasn't called us back yet to confirm us coming up to meet the pups this week I'm getting really anxious. If she doesn't call soon I'll go crazy! The pups will be up for adoption in two weeks, she NEEDS to call before then!

Yikes! I know how hard it is to wait for something like that! I hope she calls soon...

Still no word from the rescue. They go up for adoption in one week and I'm know they'll go fast. She's an hour away too, and she's not planning on bringing the pups to the next adoption booth here in town. Only if she calls us can we go visit because they are at her house and we have no address. We have called her numerous times, we are just waiting now.

So considering we are probably not going to be able to contact this lady the breeder is the obvious choice. I have added a ticker to my siggy of the baby boy's age. We may go visit him tonight, but my mom was polite and said if the weekend is better for the breeder (she works full time) then we could go then. I'm not sure if she's taking off time to help care for them because the first 3 or so weeks are usually a piece of cake for the breeder, but seeing they will be 4 weeks old tomorrow I wonder if she's going to start staying home or sending someone over She knows me fairly well though we haven't talked in quite a while but I am going to offer to come over several times during the day to check on the pups and clean up after them. It's been a while since I stuck my hand in poop (actually tomorrow is the one month anniversary since I left my job) so I'm getting to miss it. lollll

So far his name is Buck, and we haven't even met him and he already has about 20 nick names. His name could change, but it's not likely. I really like it!

If we visit him tonight, there will be pictures galore tonight or tomorrow morning. If it's this weekend you all will have to wait!

And please, please pray that the rescue gets back to us. I hate not even having the option to rescue. Right now is THE time we want to adopt, and unfortunately we have a pretty specific dog that we need for our house because of my dad and Mandy. There are no other pups fitting our description within 5 hours of us
