Good Morning Ladies!!
So.... I went a little MIA last week. It was a very weird, emotional, difficult week with decisions to be made and family problems to repress. I needed a break. So basically this happened.

This is Coraline! I am sorry I don't have better pictures, I will get some today when she comes home!
So on the day that I got the crappy news about my brother, I was already feeling really sick and stressed out over the breeder I chose for my puppy. I didn't like the way he was communicating with me, I hated not knowing if I was even getting a puppy from him because I wanted a female and he had only two. He was very unclear and I hated asking him so many questions. It was to the point where when I thought about it I got so anxious and panicky that I wanted to throw up. So I called my good friend, who is an Irish Wolfhound breeder, and told her how I was feeling and she confirmed that if I felt this way it wasn't the right thing. I ended my relationship with that breeder and went back to square one. I cried a lot that day.
After that, I sat with her and we talked about what I would do now. I have specific goals to meet, and just any dog would not do, but my requirements weren't so specific that it HAD to be any particular breed. She suddenly started yelling about knowing someone who has puppies! Her best friend was a breeder but unfortunately she died of cancer several months ago. When she passed, her daughter took over her kennel and they have been producing amazingly fit, healthy dogs for the past 20 years. This woman meant a lot to a lot of people, and I knew right away that I would be honored to get a dog from her. I called her right away and met them on Saturday.
So today after work I am bringing home my very own ten week old Standard Poodle puppy!
What did you do this weekend??
