The Newest Member To Our Family!
Happy Saturday Everyone! Yesterday we brought home our fur
baby, YAY! Okay, so now I’m going to give you a little background story on my
family getting a dog. My husband has been throwing around the idea of us
getting a dog, and I would look at him like he was crazy. I made up every
excuse in the book for us not getting a dog. You see, we had two larger dogs a
couple of years ago. However, our home is really small, and the larger dogs
required a lot. It got to the point that, my husband was the only one that was
able to walk them (Due to them not being properly trained). Which was truly
unfair to my husband and them, fast forward to this year, one of my husband’s
friends, has the most adorable little toy dog. For some reason or another,
seeing pictures of him really made me want a dog. So for about a month now, I
have been searching for a dog.
I really wanted to adopt a dog from one of our local dog
shelters but those dogs really go fast. So my husband shared with a mutual friend
that we were looking for a small dog, and she suggested that we look on
craigslist? I was really hesitant about Craigslist just for the bad rap that it
sometimes gets. Plus I actually never purchased anything from there before, and
was scared out of my mind, any who I noticed yesterday that a local shelter had
this adorable small dog, that I was adamant about getting this upcoming
Tuesday, the only problem was that location was about 45 minutes away from our house,
and I would have to be the first person their on Tuesday in order to get this
dog. (No pre-application)
My husband was really
supportive of me trying to get this dog. I explained to him my plans, and he
suggested that I continue to look on craigslist in the meantime. I did, and I
found this adorable posting for a Chihuahua /Poodle mix “Chipoo” however, there
was a re-homing fee (which varies). I texted
the owner immediately and she responded immediately. I just was not sure, if I wanted to go forth
with the process. My husband and I briefly talked about it, did a little negotiating
with the seller, and I thought the dog was mines. The only problem was that I
had to wait for six hours to actually get the dog, of course the “what if’s”
started to come to mind. The main one
was “What if she does not call me, when she said she would” (she did) But I am
happy to say that we brought home Teddy! He was super shy at first. I had to
run to Target to pick him up a couple of things, and when I returned. It was
like he was truly home. We cannot get enough of him!
(Teddy 7 mos old)
Do you own any pets?

Oh, you will enjoy him! He is adorable!!! I can not imagine our lives without our furry kids - we have 4 boys (3 Maltese poodles, Teddy, the two brothers Freddy and Jason and 1 Jack Russell, Rex), and one girl - a Chorkie named Chichi. But we had all breeds over the years.
