Ready or not here I come!

Only about nine more days until Brody comes home to live with us! I am so excited I just can't wait! I've been brushing up on all my dog training and reading lots of information on Golden Retrievers. Of course, Rex was about 99% Golden Retriever, with a black coat, so I know that I have had some major experience, but Rex was 11 years old, and a puppy, well, is a puppy!

Sometimes I think...what did I get myself into, then I think again how wonderful it was with Rex, that I just wouldn't want to miss another opportunity to share my life with another dog. So, if I can just get through this puppy stage, I will be good to go! I'm not sure where I'm going, but I am sure I'll figure it all out and I'll know where I get there, even if at times it could be going insane! I know I will be heading outside in the middle of the night to take my new little friend Brody out to use his bathroom, which just happens to be our front yard! (When is the last time it rained in your bathroom?)

Next week is vacation for our family. One more week without having to worry about a puppy or dog at home, and I can't wait. This could be my last post before vacation. I am hoping to see Brody once more before we leave, time permitting. Who would have thought I would actually be so excited about coming home from vacation, but I am sure vacation will be wonderful, it will give me more time to read more books about Golden Retrievers!

Look out Brody, here I come to get you, ready or not!

Well, I'll gladly sit if you give me treats. (Actually, I sit even if there are no treats... Great story Terri!
