A different time of year
This christmas I spent it cleaning. Oh joy, while Kaleb went to visit his family. Not what I really had in mind but I guess I got some good out of it. At the park, I met a lady. Well... sadly the way I met her was, my dog provoked her dog into attacking. So there was a little fight. Luckily it wasn't a vicious fight. Just a little tussle. Her dog was just trying to tell mine, that shes the dominate one and shouldn't be acting like she was. Which is why no blood was drawn in the fight! Well once the lady came around and got her dog, we sat and talked. Felt nice to actually go to the park and meet someone. I told her about how we got Elektra from the shelter and that shes not the dog I really intended on. I want a dog that wants to learn. That sees me as its pack leader. Elektra has definitely chosen Kaleb as her leader. She gives me such a hard time. Not to mention she doesn't want to learn. The lady gave me a website that has classified ads for the area. she said that if I wanted a puppy and didn't really care on its breed, then I could probably find one here for a decent price. She also told me of how her friend breeds St. Bernard Dogs. I want a dog where I could take to the park and actually throw a ball and she brings it back just waiting for me to throw it again. A dog that I personally can be proud of and don't have to worry about whose dog's head shes gonna tear off next. I also think Elektra will learn a lot from being around a puppy. One, it will be a play mate for her and i don't have to worry about her hurting the cat. She plays way to rough to be playing with a cat. Also think that she will learn to trust dogs a little more. Second, I want something to do during the day. Training a dog that wants to learn is much more fun then training one that does not. Lastly, would be one of my goals be in progress!
My only concern is talking to Kaleb about it. I did mention that I've always had the idea of two dogs. Nothing more. I just hope he'd be willing to help me out with this. I just sorta feel like so much has happened now that maybe he wouldn't want to. I mean sucks that I can't work until my paperwork is in and complete. My uncle said he would help out some but, we gotta go see him first. I am really motivated to do this. I want to raise a dog just like I raised Comet before he passed. He was a really good dog. Always wanting to learn, but since my family ruined a lot of the training. He was hard to teach. As long as the drive was there, he was always a pleasure to have around. I miss him. I found a few people selling puppies in this website that lady gave me. (Now that I think about it, we had such a nice conversation, we never exchanged names.)
These last few days have been dreadful tho. I hate being away from Kaleb... really sucked sleeping alone. I actually had problems sleeping. There wasn't snoring in the background for me... so I had to leave the tv on for some kinda sound.
Just hope my birthday turns out a little better then what it normally is. so sleepy right now.... Wondering whats taking so long for him to get home :(
