We both came down with a BAD case of puppy fever this week....
Sunday: For my birthday present, Bill let me pick out a new puppy. We arranged to pick her up on Friday!
Monday: Bill is on Spring Break. He called me at work at least 8 times to talk about the puppy, suggest names for the puppy, and brainstorm what we were going to have to do to prepare for a new puppy. On one phone call, he said he had a deal for me to consider. The deal: he would buy me another puppy from the same litter if he could name them 1) Question & Answer or 2) Sword & Shield or 3) Bonnie & Clyde. Though the offer WAS tempting.... I said no. The phone calls continued...
Tuesday: I had a half-day from work. We went shopping for puppy supplies. We bought: puppy chow, a new dog pillow, a pink collar, puppy toys, puppy treats (for training), puppy shampoo, and a flexible fencing set that you can arrange into a circle, rectangle, hexagon, etc. and create a moveable dog pen. Bill paced the house. He said, "Can we call the people and just pick her up EARLY?" He was sooo anxious to get her. So I called and left a message. And I think we both jumped out of our skins with excitement when Robby called us back and said we could:
Here she is! I wrapped her in a towel and she sat on my lap while we drove home in the darkness, smiling from ear to ear knowing we have a new little Rodgers to love.
