Well, I did it.
Tonight I bought a puppy.
I had an appointment Sunday to see some puppies and although they were cute, they weren't exactly what I had in mind. (Too small, too furry, not the right color...)
It's really hard to find a breeder in NJ.
I found only 2 with puppies available.
Then one in NY state....bout 3 1/2 hrs from here-
She sent me pictures, but it's just so hard to try to pick a puppy from a kinda crappy picture....the puppies she had were 4 weeks old and nursing on their mother. I got a picture of their backs. How do you buy a puppy without seeing its' face?
I emailed her yesterday and she sent me more pictures today, along with a note saying all but two of the pups were sold. You have to act fast, I guess.
I wasn't feeling hopeful because I still couldn't see much of their faces from the pics she sent...so we were going back and forth.
Tonight I went to the 2nd breeder's house.
I wasn't going to go, because she only had 1 puppy left, and I was sure it was going
to be a wasted trip...
But I get there, and she brings out THE MOST ADORABLE brown and white cockapoo...8 weeks old...big brown eyes, little brown nose, curly brown ears......omg....it had me at hello. it was that kinda moment.
It doesn't even bark. It kinda yips....
I sat and played with it for 15 minutes- then I gave the woman a deposit and have to pick it up next monday.
I need to buy a crate and come up with a plan of where to keep it until christmas.
Maybe my mother-in-law?....she works all day though...i don't like that with a puppy
Maybe my sister....she has 2 little boys...i dunno...it might be too much.
I'll think it through.
My daughter is going to go bananas........omg........i can't wait til Christmas!!!!
I hope I can keep this a secret!
