After a long wait, Dude has finally joined the family!!! We found a breeder here in the Springs who had four absolutely adorable male bullies that were ready to go this weekend. The Gazette sent out free issues on Wednesday to advertise the new Walmart opening in Falcon and I found the website for the breeder in the classified section. The breeder said that the puppies were getting a lot of interest and two of the girls (there were 7 in the litter) had sold already. We ended up going by to look at the puppies and the mom on Thursday night and putting a deposit down. We could take him till today because I guess by law breeders can’t release them till they’re 8 weeks, only one day shy at this point. I’m bummed I didn’t know about them before but the time is finally right and this is the first time they’ve approached marketing with a website which I’m thinking is going to be a success.
Dude will be 8 weeks old tomorrow which makes his birthday May 27th – the day after our anniversary. I was hoping it’d be on our anniversary since Stoli shares her birthday with Sara but this is close enough. We didn’t get Stoli until she was 4 months old so he seems so teeny tiny at 7 pounds. He loves to give kisses and nibbles on the nose and is a bit of ankle biter, a habit I want to break early.
We took the kids and met my parents at Petsmart this afternoon to pick up some needed supplies for the newest addition and of course to get Stoli some toys too. People mentioned two or three times that we were like the Petsmart commercial, well not quite but hopefully we’ll get there. Nana and Papa brought the kids their own quilts – pink flowers for Stoli and blue sports theme for Dude. So far they seem to like the other’s blanket better than their own but I guess that’s just how kids are. Since we got up so early this morning to prepare for Dude and the two are turning out to be a handful everyone’s asleep but me. I guess I should take a nap while I have the chance.
Pictures will be in the gallery soon….
