Excited

For starters, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! This year I have so much to be thankful for. We all know the shape of the economy and the thousands of people who've lost their jobs. I am just thankful that I have a roof over my head, clothes, a running car and money for groceries. We may not have much but we are still very blessed!

Well today was pretty eventful and I can definitely say that I am stuffed! We went to my aunts first thing today and her lovely dog (Cocker Spaniel) won me over. He actually won me over the first time I seen him but I realized today how much I really love this breed of dog.

We were going to be getting a Chiweenie from my dad's cousin the middle of December but some unfortunate circumstances came up and my husband and I decided not to take the dog. I was going on about how much I loved my aunts dog and she told me where she got him.

She bought him from a Mennonite and no it's not some money making puppy farm. Maybe this was perfect timing or something but the puppies will be ready to go this Saturday! They are up to date on all their shots. This litter had 1 male and 6 females. The male won me over so after a few moments of consideration, I knew I had to have him! The owner took my name down and gave me his number and I told him I wanted to pick up our puppy on Tuesday because I will have a few days off.

I am beyond excited. The dog is actually cocker/cavalier mix. From what I have read a Cavalier is a spaniel breed (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). I am so happy to be getting a puppy and I realize the responsibility that will be coming with him. My aunt told me "They are just like a baby, you need A LOT of patience!". I am ready for this new puppy to be apart of our family!

Now I get to do the fun name game! He is a golden color with a white stripe on his forehead. Kevin came up with a few good names and I had a few I liked but we still have a few days to decide!

Can you tell I am excited?? :)
