Steppin' Paws!

It is so exciting to see my little rascal getting up and moving!

There she is with her siblings, climbing all over each other. They have to gain muscle somehow, right? :)

I miss her silky little self very much! I can't wait until next month.

But for now, I'm reading up on puppy training and what to focus on at each stage of her puppyhood. It gives me something to do instead of sit here like "ZOMG Y PUPPY NOT HERE?????"

Seeing the World!

Today is a big day for BeBe...She opened her eyes. Soon, she'll be taking everything in and learning what is beyond her nest with a whole new sense to guide her.

I am just so proud of my little one.

The question is settled...

Today has been a long day. Most of it was spent in the hospital with my sister inlaw, who was having surgery. (She's fine. She may be small, but she's a feisty one.)

Then a long bus ride to the current residence of my future fur-baby.

This is BeBe.

I was shown all of the little darlings, but when she was lifted up for me to see, I knew that it was my puppy. Since I was sure, I was allowed to have some cuddle time with her, which she spent licking my chest and then falling asleep against me.

Boobs: Not just for decoration.

She is also the first of her large puppy family to have one of her eyes open. An overachiever. :)

I didn't want to put her down at all, but I obviously couldn't just move into this nice family's home and be that weird girl who sits in the corner rocking a puppy.

Meanwhile, back on the home front, preparations are being made for her arrival here. Our storage room, which is basically the size of a small bedroom, will become BeBe's room. It's going to be helpful in keeping her meals seperate from the kitty feeding area.

September seems so far away now, but luckily I will be getting updates from the family that I am adopting from. So there will be pictures and updates on her progress as we go.

Puppy Picking!

Tomorrow is a big day! Not THE big day, but pretty huge just the same.

Tomorrow I am going to go visit the litter and officially claim my puppy. After that, it will be all waiting for it to grow and be ready for me to be it's mommy.

I may have gone a little nuts today with picking up supplies for it. Miss Bisceroni is my first little one, but kittens are more or less happy with a string and a loose feather in terms of belongings.

No, this is much different. It's like there is a new baby on the way. Like a brand new, expectant parent, I have gone nuts.

Of course my puppy can only eat the best food. Of course she must have the cutest, chewiest toys. Of course her bed must feel as soft as the down on a chick. To have anything less might result in my little cuddly pup developing some unknown disorder of....SOME kind. I would spend hours upon hours beside her bed at the pet hospital, holding her paw, as the vet looks at me with disappointment for not knowing that my puppy needed a sheep toy and not a cow toy.

The agony.

But here I am. Both arms tired out from carrying my load home. I am only short a crate, which I am flip flopping over which kind to buy.

After all...I don't want to get the wrong one. :)

Welcome!

I am about to start a journey into motherhood...

...of a baby with big brown eyes, a cold wet nose, "fluppy" ears, and a waggy tail.

One of nine, this little puppy is out there waiting for me to come and pick him/her out of the bunch to be my little one.

Breed: Boxer. Loyal, playful, energetic, sweet...

...and HUGE.

Some think I am crazy. Others can't imagine why I need another pet when my princess of a kitty, Miss Biscuit Meowington, is quite the companion herself.

Yet, here I am. Ready to dive head first into the madness and joy of raising a chubby little furball into a massive, drooly furball. Who knows how it will go.
