I got an email from the folks at the breeder the other day confirming we want to stay on the litter list for our puppy (um, yeah!). I also confirmed with them that the puppy will get shipped to us on Friday August 5th. I wanted to make sure she wouldn't be coming Friday July 29th because that would be a tricky time for me at work- I wouldn't be able to take off as much time that following week.
I think I have been driving my husband Brian a bit nuts with puppy talk lately - I am constantly telling him things like "we should make sure people know not to feed our puppy from the table" or "What names do you like the best?" he is taking it pretty well even though I know puppies isn't his #1 favorite topic to discuss (unlike myself).
As of today the countdown is 42 days until the puppy comes home. I have been telling Stewie about the new puppy everyday to get him prepared (as if he knows what I am saying). I should look into having the breeder send me a t-shirt or cloth with the puppy's smell on it when we get a little closer. Then put the item in with Stewie so he gets used to the smell. Stewie has really come a long way in terms of coming out of his shell. When we first got him he really didn't want any human interaction - rather he would hang out with Sadie our other bunny and be perfectly happy. After Sadie died he really started to look to us for some companionship and I try to hang out with him at night so he has some interaction. Who knows maybe he will like the new dog more than us! Actually I wouldn't be too surprised especially since she is a female.
I am afraid I have no new puppy pictures to show - next picture date should be the 4 week picture at 7/4/11. I can't wait!
