So basically my dogs have been crazy. Abby still waiting for her allergy results, Roxie barking at non existant things. Abby had to get a bath and she had scabs all over her body. She had been scratching and biting at her fur so badly that she had all those sores.
I am also very happy to say that we are getting another member of the family. We are going down to West Plains Missouri on Sunday to get a new puppy. Six hours there and six hours back that we have to drive. It is a beautiful red merle australian shepherd with bright blue eyes. They named her Cinderella, and I'm going to name her Melody Lynn. Eventually we will breed her, even though I was really against the whole idea thinking about all those shelter dogs and all. The thing is, if I bred her it would be good for the breed. A lot of people show dogs in the shows and stuff, and that would be a great reason. Sometimes it seems irresponsible to breed dogs, like I said because of shelter dogs, but a lot of people search for these dogs, even before they are even born.
I'm really hoping that my other dogs will like her. That is the bad thing. Because of the long drive over there, and my dogs having anxiety problems, I cant take them with us to introduce the dogs. The breeder is really nice, and there is another person from Illinois that is getting one of thier dogs too so we are going to bring it back with us and take it to them. Apparently it is a girlfriend for their other Aussie. Apparently they trust us enough to bring their dog to them, which we are trustable. I just keep thinking about the long drive we are going to have to take considering no other dog of this color is available anywhere really. The next closest dog of the same color ect is in Texas, and that is even further away.
On Saturday we are going to have to get supplies for the puppy. Get all prepared before we bring her home. Dog clothes, stuff for her to play with ect. It is so exciting knowing I will be picking up my puppy in two days.
Abby and Roxie knew yesterday that I was sick, and tried their best to make me feel better. Going home after lunch made me upset, but I knew I couldnt stay. The puggles can sense whenever I am feeling sick, sad, and happy. They respond differently too to the different moods.
Anyways, it is very exciting this weekend for the new puppy. Hopefully everything will run smoothly so that we can get a happy ending. This is my first pure bred dog, and it makes me happy knowing she will be mine. I will train her to be polite, and hopefully I will get to take her places. Until then I hope today goes smooth too.
