Puppy Adventures and other stuff

Chris’ visit has been going very well, and it’s certainly felt good to have a week off.

Chris put together some shelving for me and helped me organize the garage, and we’re going to put up another shelving unit as well.  I got one for the attic as well.

We also spent a day visiting dog shelters.  We went and met a dog that I’d had my eyes on for awhile but he was just a bit rough for Elka and didn’t listen to her very well Unexpectedly I fell in love with Brooke, a 2 month old pit bull.  This poses some problems as far as daycare/boarding - daycares won’t take pits.  I’m taking Elka to meet Brooke tomorrow.  If that goes well I’ll have a hard decision to make.  She’s an awesome puppy though.

Either way I’m looking for a mellow puppy that is good with cats, and I’m trying not to worry about breed, gender, size with a focus on “the best personality”.  If pits didn’t have the lack of daycare/boarding options (or I was married! ha) then the “pit bull” portion wouldn’t be an issue.  But I do travel for work a few times a year and I need a place I trust where I can put the pooches.

We’ll see what happens tomorrow when Elka meets Brooke.

Other than that just relaxing, getting some house-stuff done and enjoying Chris’ visit and the time off.  Hopefully I’ll find that perfect second dog, whether that is Brooke or another dog.  We’ll see!

And Happy 2010 to everyone.
