Casey and I got the opportunity on Friday to adopt a 3 year old bulldog. He is so so so adorable. He looks like Patch! So when we jumped on it (despite my skepticism of him already being 3 years old), we found out we were 17th on the waiting list. Seventeenth?! This is a testament to how sweet, cuddly, and precious bulldogs are. Now this made me sad and happy all jumbled together. No new bulldog (probably), and I had gotten so excited about it in a mere couple hours. But happy that so many families wanted him. His family is moving to Scotland, and they don't allow smoosh faced pups on international flights. What in the flip? I think it's silly. And I feel bad because he's going to wonder why he has a new family.
Anyways, we were already super excited about the idea of our own little baby. We began buying pup stuff in October I think. I just got the fluffy bed last week. And Kate bought her a toy puppy to cuddle with. The puppy has our little lamb's harness on until we get a real one (see the far left side of the bed below). I also bought puppy shampoo last week. The things we already picked out are two toys (owl and rope elephant), 3 chew bones, some puppy treats, a brush, a dinner mat (for food and water bowl), harness, and a dog First-Aid book. Here's the stuff. It's on the floor in the guest room.
And now after this little tease of adopting a bulldog and nevermind, I am even more ecstatic about our very own puppy.
Things we still need to get:
A crate
A puppy gate
Food and Water bowl
A leash
Puppy food
A baby pool
Toothbrush
I still need to make our dog first aid kit to have on hand. And no, I'm not kidding. It's important stuff.
We're just about ready. We even have a name picked out, but I can't tell you what it is. We'll have a big reveal when she arrives. We both want her now, but realistically, I think it'll be more like summer time.
Here are the bowls we want (but can't afford...or can afford, but won't). They are so fantastic. Tattoo-style. Instead of "Lucky" and "Love", the bowls will have her name or something. Gotta love some Etsy-shopping.
Perfect-But-Too-Expensive Dog Bowls
Oh my good gracious, and we have to find the perfect vet.
Until we get our own puppy, here are two of my fav Youtube vids to tide you over till we post billions of pics.
This one is a little bit longer, so just watch the whole thing cause the end is totally worth it.
I decided that we're going to HAVE to buy a video camera when we get our puppy.
