no pup yet :-/ you'd think that with the homeless animal situation, it would be easy. boy was i wrong. well, first off- we decided to adopt a puppy from the Norfolk SPCA, which is a no kill shelter. They want to find the best homes for the animals, so they do a veterinary check, along with a back yard check and tons of paperwork. we had our back

I noticed that sort of sentiment around here so that's why I went the way we went. We don't have a very big backyard and I am pretty sure we would not get approved for a backyard check. We couldn't adopt from Norfolk since we live in Yorktown and they made no exceptions to that rule. I think I saw the puppy you are adopting. I would have tried to adopt her if it weren't for the two prior reasons

Oh... parvo is awful! Growing up, I had a basset hound that we raised from a puppy. We had to wait so long before we could take him to puppy classes.... as a precaution. We were worried he'd get parvo. Where do you work?

Yeah... I definitely was not happy about that unexpected mail. Brian is so aggainst having a baby right now, while he's in the Navy.... but all of his friends have babies. I guess Brian has been telling them about situations that may be similar to theirs, so they joke i guess. Navy guys will be Navy guys though. I really hate the jokes brian comes home with sometimes. Sailors can be awful. Do you have to listen to those jokes too?

I just got a puppy! It's sooo exhausting! It's way harder than I thought it would be! It's been crazy! What kind of puppy are you looking to get? The vet told me to socialize him with little kids too, but I don't know any in this collegw town. :(
