Newest Puppy

Here are two pictures of my new puppy! She is 9 wks old right now and weighs 12.6 lbs. I believe she is going to be quite large! :) She already knows how to "sit" and we are working on other commands. I just love her! In the top picture, she had just finished playing in the snow - which is white there are white specs all over her face! :)

Puppy Update

So as some of you know the kennel where I purchased my first puppy in Mexia, Texas is being really difficult to deal with in regards to A) either giving me another puppy or B) giving me a refund....they keep going back and forth as to whether or not they will give me another dog and apparently option B is out of the question.

Well, I was looking at puppies yesterday from different breeders and advertisements and came across a breeder in Houston. She had 3 females left and they were $350 each...I emailed her and told her about my first puppy and that I was in the market for a new one possibly. We emailed several times and she said that they would let me have one for $300. I was pretty excited b/c that was still less than $350 and I'm already out $450 from my first pup. She sent me an email tonight giving me her address so that I could come and see them and in the email she wrote this...

"I have some good news. My husband and I were talking about what happened to you with your other puppy and we would like to just give you one of ours if that is ok. I know you have a long trip ahead of you and that they are not willing to refund your money so maybe this will help you out. Just let me know if that is good with you."

Are you serious!?!?! I jumped on that quickly and was ecstatic!!! What a GENEROUS gesture.... So, I am going to Dayton (45 min. East of Houston) in the morning to pick her up and then driving home for Christmas (actually to Burleson first). Needless to say, I'm excited about a new puppy and have a very long day of driving ahead of me.... I will post pics of her as soon as I have some! :)

Sweet Freedom

Ahh...sigh of relief! I just got done turning in all of my final projects and am happy to say that I am FINISHED with my first semester of grad school!! We'll see how I actually did in a few weeks when grades are released... :)

I found out on Monday when I returned to CS from the Thanksgiving break that my current roommate lost her job recently and will not be able to afford the rent here at the house anymore and is therefore, moving out in December to go live with her grandmother. That means that I have to find another roommate ASAP! What a bummer...it's hard finding decent roommates in the middle of the school year.

On a different note, I am leaving CS on Friday to go home for the Christmas break! I'm pumped about that because I am going straight to Burleson from here to hang out with my aunt and uncle for a week. But first, they are meeting me in Mexia on Friday to pick up a new puppy from the same kennel where I got Sage. It's been a huge mess with the kennel but I am hopeful that they will have a new puppy for me!

Yeah for Christmas!!
