It's official. After much anticipation and second-questioning we are no longer putting it off. We've been considering this for a while but have been held back by a few major concerns: 1. Money 2. Responsibility 3. My Tendency to Over-think/Fret 4. Adjusting to a New Town, New Job, New School, and New Schedule.
Dave and I are seriously looking for a dog.
We got the courage to take the plunge after we had the chance to pet-sit for our friends Kat and John. They have a bichon-maltese mix named Chipper and he is the cutest. Even though we only watched him for the weekend, after he was gone we both started remarking how we missed him. One week later and we visited every shelter in town in search of an adoptee. Our living arrangements limit the size and type of breed that we can get so it is still a work in progress, but we're expecting to add a new member to our family soon! In the meantime, any name suggestions for the potential Hallstrom are welcome. Dave is leaning towards Plato (mostly because he thinks it will be funny when little kids get confused and think its name is Play-dough) but I am not really sold on anything yet.
You do like to tease huh? But, I am totally jealous! I would love to have a dog!! I don't have any good name suggestions though. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I can't wait to hear all about him and "meet" him via blog:) Good luck in the hunt.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Can't wait to hear more about your dog search!
ReplyDeleteyou had me fooled there for a minute! But yay for a new dog! Hope all is going well for you!
ReplyDeletePluto might also be a possibility. Not as much for the sake of Mickey's dog but more for the memory of our "used to be" 9th planet.
