Puggy Goodness

It's almost time!! AHHHH! We are getting our little puppy on Sunday! Just a couple more days..I can't believe it! I have to call the breeder tomorrow and figure out exactly where we are going to meet. Afterwards we are going to Oxmoor Mall in Louisville, which is going to be super fun too! I'm not sure how I will sneak the little puggy in but I will figure out something I have no doubt, lol! I want to go into Lush and see what new stuff they have for Easter and maybe get a few things. I also want to go into Sephora and just see if anything in there I have to have. I don't plan on spending much though.

Yesterday was an exciting day..I took my psychology final and passed by just 2 points. I was so unbelievably happy! The teacher was crazy, it seemed like no matter what I did she never gave me a good grade for it. The class is over now and I can get caught up on my other 2 classes and breathe easier.

On another note, NAVY PEED IN THE POTTY!! WOOHOO! He peed in there THREE times, I was so proud of him. So far I havn't been able to get him to go any but we are headed in the right direction for sure, I just can't believe he did it!

8 more days!

Only 8 more days until I get to pick up our sweet puppy! I am SO excited!!! We have the crate cover coming today and then the only thing left to pick up is his food, which is really exciting. I've been waiting so long it feels like. I have NEVER heard back from the rescue, which is so bizarre. They just acted as though I disappeared.

I've got so much stuff to do this weekend, 2 huge papers to write on top of other homework its going to be a long process and we're all sick. Navy is finally getting better and I got the cold but today was better than yesterday so hopefully tomorrow I'm back to feeling pretty good!

Poor Brody got the worst of it, he finally had to go to the Dr today because he just wasn't getting any better. They said he has a double ear infection and one of his ear drugs was bulging to the point it was almost ready to burst!

I feel so bad for the poor little guy but they prescribed him Augmentin so I'm hoping that he gets better soon, and also hoping that it doesn't upset his stomach because it always did mine and I know that it's common, so fingers crossed!

Doctors and Panties

I decided to take Navy in to see his doctor today after the incident with Brody. I feel hopeless at times on what to do with him. I feel like no one cares or wants to help. Today was actually different, I really felt like the doctor CARED for once. She told me that since he has had so many autism markers in the past that maybe he does have autism. We were referred to a place called Centerstone to have an evaluation and see what they think. I honestly don't know very much about that place but I am holding a lot of hope that they can help us.

She's also supposed to try to speed things up and get us in with Dr. Hersh from Kosairs Children's Hospital. He's supposed to be a specialist in genetics/development/behavior a lot I know, but supposedly he is a top notch doctor. I am so excited for us to meet with him!

After we dealt with all of that we went to Walmart and got 2 packs of big boy panties, woohoo!!! Navy said he would use the potty, I'm not sure I believe him but we are going to try LOL! I also got some more toys for our puppy! I cant believe its just a little more than 2 weeks before we bring him home.

Mama Bear

I feel heartbroken today. Navy was watching a movie and Brody walked in front of the tv and Navy completely lost it! He jumped up and had slammed Brody's face into the entertainment center before I could even stop him. It busted the underneath of his eye open and blood immediately started gushing out. I just don't understand why he does this stuff to him. I didn't take him to the ER since the last time we went (just a few weeks ago!) when he fell off my bed and split open his eyebrow they said it would heal on its own I figured this would too. So I got him all cleaned up and noticed his nose was bleeding as well and he has a huge goose egg on his forehead, I feel horrible! Horrible that one son caused something so horrible to happen to his own brother, and sad that Navy gets so frustrated and he thinks he has to resort to violence to get his point across. Of course I was also sad that Brody had to go through the pain of the whole thing, and his brother always being mean to him.

Snow, Snow, Snow

We have gotten a crazy amount of snow the past two weeks. We got about six inches, which had packed down and melted for the most part until last night we got probably 4-5 more and it isn't supposed to stop until sometime tonight, totaling at around 12 inches.

I'm getting really restless from being in the house so soon because I have so many things I want to do outside the house. I need to get my high school transcripts sent to my new university, I need to take a psychology exam, and I would like to go shopping for my puppy.

Not to mention all my online shopping is getting delayed LMAO! Mother nature, I dont have time for this junk..I've got 5 packages in limbo here.

Guess I should update!

I really don't want to slack off so I guess I should update this huh? Well I have decided to pass on the rescue. I put a lot of thought into the decision and I just don't feel like it's the right option anymore. They place ALL of the dogs who come in who are trailed, healthy, ect with members of their organization and basically all that is left are dogs who are elderly and/or have severe disabilities. I really can't afford to take on a major health problem from a dog. I looked and looked and found a REALLY sweet breeder in Whitley City, KY who we are going to get a puppy from. They have 8 puppies to choose from (what a big litter!) 6 of them are boys, which is great because I really want to get a boy! I already have his name all picked out, Bentley Bowman. I've started picking up things for him here and there but can't wait to go all out on a shopping trip for the little guy. He will be ready to pick up on March 7th.

Whitley City is quite the drive, its almost all the way to Tennessee so the lady was kind enough to meet us an hour from her house, which is great an hour is an hour we can spend at home with our new baby! I think my Mom and/or Kevin are going with me to pick him up. The lady said she does not take deposits so picking out a puppy is first come first serve and I will be there AS SOON as she will let them go to their new homes. She said she would bring all of the puppies with her so I could choose which one I wanted.

I'm supposed to call her back the 20th/20st to plan out all the details and let her know we still want one. I told her I DEF did want one and she took my name and number down. I am soooo excited about getting a puppy! I really wish the rescue would have been easier to work with. It's sad, I still haven't heard from them this week with any information.

This is seriously getting annoying...

I have been trying to be sooo patient and keep my mind on other things, and honestly with school, the super bowl last night, and waiting NOT so patiently for my tax refund and my school aid refund I have barely had time to even think about the Pug adoption. I check my email 50 times a day in hopes of an email but my hopes never get up.

Today, I came home from visiting with my aunt and checked my email, I saw an email from Amy and nearly died of shock, but again just didn't get my hopes up and it's a good thing because she said that the person who did my home study has YET to even send her a report...WHAT!?! It's been almost 2 weeks! She said she would be in contact with her today to ask for the report. Who knows how long it will be once she has the report in hand, I certainly hope not to long, but I will begin nagging again if I have to! LOL

Also, at the home study, Annie told me about the sweet dog "Bo" and I had gotten sort of excited well, after checking the available dogs list I realized he's being adopted out already- great! and then we get to Bella, well her foster mom decided to adopt her once her health clears...so WHY exactly do they post her as available for adoption? I see that as kind of a joke!

I'm sure we will end up with a great dog, they add dogs daily. Still, a lot of these dogs are 7-10 years old, thats just way too old for us. With the boys being rambunctious toddlers an elderly dog is not going to fly around here. I don't expect a puppy but I would like a dog under 6, I don't feel like thats asking too much.

As horrible as all of this sounds, part of my wishes that I had just been able to find an affordable puppy. However, I am NOT going to give up because I really DO want to adopt a dog. I want to give it the great forever home it deserves, whether or not this organization has been a pain, and honestly its not even the rescue, its the one particular person who did my home visit. I almost feel lied to by her. She told me I should have my dog either this weekend or next, obviously that is NOT happening!
