"You know what I want to do today?" "No" LOL You had to be there....
I am so crazily excited right now!!
Know why?
Well first of all, it's SNOWING!!!
And none of that wussy snow either. It is seriously snowing really hard right now, as it has been for the last six hours or so. There will be at least a good 6 inches of snow by the morning. That's so great!! I know there are a lot of people out there, but in Chicago especially, that absolutely detest the snow because of the traffic it causes (as if Chicago traffic isn't bad already...), and I'm sure my feelings about heavy snow will change once I actually get my license, but for now - Keep it comin'!! It's so beautiful, I love it. And I can't wait to go and play in it!
I probably shouldn't completely disregard how the snow is going to affect the highways, though, because tomorrow Marcelo and I will be driving at least 4 hours round-trip up to Wisconsin to pick up my puppy!! I was originally going to go on Saturday, but I figured the sooner I can bring him home and get him adjusted to the house, the better. Normally I would let a puppy take as much time as he or she needed, but I have to take him to Puppy Class on Tuesday, and he's already a class behind. On top of that, to my knowledge he will be the youngest in the class, not that this should really matter in terms of his ability to learn and advance, but it may make a difference in how he reacts socially to the other dogs. When Marcelo and I went to class this Tuesday we got to meet all of the puppies, and none of them seem overly aggressive, so that's a good thing. I should try to put any preconceptions of how class will go out of my head, though, and let things progress how they will...
But speaking of not having preconceptions, the breeder emailed me today and informed me that of the two puppies that I had it narrowed down to, I will now be getting neither of them. That's right. The stud owner came today and chose Blue Merle #1, which was one of the puppies I was going to choose from, and in her email to me the breeder said that I now had the other two Blue boys to choose from. I asked her why I couldn't choose from the Blacks, and she said Black Tri #3 can only go to a show home, and that Black Tri #2 (the other puppy I had to choose from) doesn't have the body for agility because he's too long and too wide in the front. So, my dear friends, I am back to Square 1. I'm trying to remember everything I can about the other two Blue boys, but at this point, I think I'm going to go there tomorrow pretending I've never seen either puppy before, and just see whose personality I like better. I'm sure whichever puppy I choose will be wonderful though, because they come from great parents.
On a completely random topic, I'm very seriously considering creating a blog for the purpose of mocking other people's blogs. I'm sure there will be a variety of reactions to that idea, some of which being - Thinking it's ridiculous, thinking it's mean, thinking it's hilarious, thinking it's interesting, etc. I'm certainly hoping for the last two reactions to be more prevalent, but if anyone wants to think the first two, they are more than welcome. I'll be doing it simply for my own amusement - As a mental exercise, really. And don't worry guys, when I say blog, I mean blog, not livejournal. Rest assured that none of you will be mocked! Why? Because I love you, of course!
So, that all being said, I'm gonna have to get up much much earlier than I'm used to tomorrow, so I'm gonna end this update here and play The Sims with Marcelo before heading off to bed. Wish me luck tomorrow - Between driving in the snow and picking a puppy, I'm gonna need it! G'nite!
