Puppy Hunting

Puppies... That is basically the thought that consumes my mind most days. Puppies and our new house =)

I have been on the hunt for a puppy and I am having a hard time finding a puppy that isn't hundreds and hundreds of dollars!! When did dogs get to be so expensive?? Mike wants a pitbull and I most definitely do NOT want a pitbull... I know a lot of people say they're sweet and great family pets but someday when Mike and I have a baby I know that I'm not going to want my child and a pitbull in the same room. I just do not trust them no matter what.

So... I have narrowed it down to 2 breeds that I do want. My first and foremost breed is the Golden Retriever but Mike said no to that one and so it is no longer on my list. So here it is:
1.) Siberian Husky
2.) Chocolate Lab- can't be a black or yellow lab. It has to be chocolate.

I found a Husky pup at the Humane Society. I called to place him on hold but he already had a hold on him. The Humane Society told me to call back at 6:30 when the hold fell off and I did. He was still there but no one answered the phone. They called me back after 7 and said they were closed and to call back in the morning. I did so but he had yet another hold on him, which that lucky family was the one to take him home. I was pretty excited about him and to rescue a pup from the humane society made me feel like I was doing something more than just paying a breeder who probably doesnt get taxed on their earnings.

So, the puppy hunt continues. It's probably a good idea to wait until we are settled into our new home before we bring a puppy into it. Too much change in a short amount of time could be a little too much to handle for the little guy or girl. But I'm not going to let that slow down my puppy hunt.

Well, that's basically all that seems remotely blog worthy. We will be moving in exactly 3 weeks so I'm positive more blogs will come as we start that journey!!!! I can't wait to move, get new furniture, and get a little puppy!!! =) I am definitely learning patience in this whole process!
