I'm Soooooo Excited!!!!!

I finally found my fluffy, little puppy today!!!!! I just happened to check the shelter web site right before I took my brother, Joe to work. And there she was a little red, pale red, pom. I called them and they told me she was going to a rescue. I told them I wanted to see her and would more than likely adopt her. I've wanted a pom for years and years.

So I went out there and they have a new state of the art facility. For so many years they just had one small building and a couple of sheds for storage.

So I go into the little room and they bring her in. She's 6 months old, and comes from a hoarder's house. That worried me a bit because dogs in those situtations don't get socialized much. But she's very curious, she checked out my leg brace, it didn't scare her she just wanted to see what it was. She's very kissy and sweet. She didn't know what to do with the toys in the room because she's never had any. I filled out the paper work and she's mine. I'll pick her up from the vet, tomorrow or Sat. after she's spayed. She doesn't have a name, so I'll have to figure out what it should be. I'll post pictures when I get some. I only have a small one on my cell phone right now. I asked her to sit for it and she did. ;-0

I don't have the words to tell you how excited I am right now. I haven't felt this good in years. I want to jump up & down, dance, yell it from a mountain top! LOL

I know I'll have to change my schedule so she can be trained. That's a good thing. Last time I was going through a time like this I had a dog named Duke. I had to get up at a decent time to care for him. I had to be active for him. So now maybe this will help get me moving along the right track again. I know it sounds like I'm putting a lot on her tiny little shoulders. But whether or not I'm movtivated she'll have a wonderful life her with us.

She's not housebroken but that shouldn't take long with Sunshine & Louie to help her. I want to take her to obedience school and socialize her. There's just so much to do. It's like bringing home a baby. LOL I went out to the pet store and got puppy food, a new bowl a couple of tiny little toys. :-) I was going to get a collar & leash but I realized I don't know what size collar to get. I know it has to be small but I need to know the exact size. So I'll do that after I pick her up. I'm thinking of getting her a tiny bell to put on her so I can hear her coming. ;-0 I did get Sunshine & Louie some special treats that they don't always get. I didn't want them to feel left out. Plus I let them smell me when I got home from holding her so they would at least maybe connect her scent to me. I'm not really worried about them not liking her. Louie loved Sunshine the minute we brought her in the house. Plus they used to have a little dog so they already know how to treat one.

Joe will have to dig Killer's crate out of the garage for me. I'm going to put it in my room. But I want her to learn to sleep on the bed with me eventually. Once she's all potty trained. ;-0 I have it all figured out how to make room for her and everything. I've been thinking about this a long long time.

So WOOOOHOOOOO!! LOL
