Puppy

In just 2 days, I will be the proud puppy mother to a 7 week old bouncing baby bulldog. I am very excited. I am having some guilt issues over getting a purebred dog from a breeder, rather than rescuing a dog from the humane society, but I really want a bulldog, I have for a really long time. So breeder it is.

I met the breeder 7 weeks ago when the puppies were a week old. I knew she was the one immediately. She was the size of a hamster and couldn't hear, see or even move very much the first time I saw her. I was scared to even touch her. Since then, I have visited weekly and it has been really fun to see her grow and develop into a puppy with a personality.

Yesterday I went to 2 different stores to stock up on supplies. I bought a dog bed, food and water bowls, a leash and collar, grooming supplies, floor cleaner, treats, and food. It was very overwhelming because there are a million brands and different options for everything you need. But I think I got everything I wanted, so I'm ready.

And here's an interesting fact that I learned: dog toothpaste comes in two flavors- chicken and beef, and the beef flavored is ten cents more expensive than the chicken. I decided the extra ten cents must mean it's better, so I went with the beef.

And now I just have to wait until Sunday to bring her home! So much excitement!!
