Puppy Gibson

So today was my 23rd birthday! As funny as it sounds I actually feel older than yesterday. I'm not sure if its the age or just the fact that I'm 23, I'm a wife, a homeowner and a mother. YES I finally got a puppy!! I've been begging Tim for a puppy for 2 years now and his response was "not until we get a house." Well we've been in our house for 2 1/2 weeks now and everyday I've been asking "can we go get a puppy today?!" Well I woke up this morning to Tim bringing me a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and the laptop. And as he handed me the laptop he said the magical words of "Let get our puppy today!" So we looked at SO MANY puppies that were for sale and we finally agreed on a lab/collie mix that was just put up for sale yesterday. So we called the seller and set up a time to go visit the pups. We drove an hour to the family farm the puppies live at (they had really pretty horses too) and met all 7 pups! We took our time picking up and playing with all of them.Ahhh they were all so tiny and cute. They are only 4 weeks right now so we have to wait 2 more weeks to bring our pup home. It was such a hard decision but I wanted to reserve our pup so when we went back I wouldn't be heart broken that the one I was thinking about had been sold. So we first had the decision of Boy or Girl- Boy was an easy one for us...we had both wanted a boy dog. The it was Black and White or Brown and White-That one was a little harder, we narrowed it down to one black and white and one brown and white...the final decision was made by the length of the coat... We chose the brown one because he had a nice smooth short coat..And we are so happy with our decision! He is so sweet and cuddly!! So we told the lady to hold onto that pup for us and that we would be back on the 16th to pick up our little guy! So on the way home Tim and I stopped at Famous Daves for my Birthday dinner then headed to Petco. We just got a couple of basic things for now..a collar, leash, bed, food and water dish and carpet/floor cleaner ;) and a squeaky toy of course! So now I'm counting down the days until we can be a family!!
