Countdown to the Puppy!!
Remember back to my 2010 goals? Well, #5 was "get a puppy" and NO, we didn't get a puppy this past weekend, but we found out that Abbie's sister Sasha is pregnant and the puppies will be born in about three weeks! It's hard to believe that dogs are only pregnant 8-10 weeks!!
The breeder will keep her for about 3 months to help her grow and learn important life skills from her mom, like how to eat, behave and go to the bathroom outside. Seriously, our dog will already be house broken when we get her in August. Isn't that awesome?
Other than continually trying to convince Allen that we NEED a dog, our next concern is getting the fence built before we pick her up. I guess I know where I'm spending my quarterly bonus checks this year!
Did you and your husband/boyfriend agree about getting a pet? If no, how did you convince them?

i convinced mine that we needed a dog.....and then we got pregnant :) ....and then we got pregnant again.... and then we got Bob and Luke- fish...and that is all we can handle right now...
how to convince: make a puppy face, tell him puppy first will keep the 'baby fever' away for a good long while, and give over the authority of 'naming the puppy' to him...
y'all will be great puppy parents!
Daniel and I both wanted a dog, so I didn't really have to convince him. He's actually the one that found Boaz at the shelter and was ready to bring him home.
A puppy will bring so much joy to your life, as you know, but even more joy to your marriage. It's hard for Daniel and I to think what life was like "before Boaz" haha...
It strengthened our marriage in the sense that it was like having a new baby around the house - we got him from a shelter at 6 weeks, so we had to train him ourselves - but we had to learn to communicate about feedings, when we could go to places, etc... It was a great introduction to parenting. :)
