We found out this morning that they have a german shepherd puppy available for us if we are interested (see photo to the right). I’m a bit concerned about the additional expense, but Katie has been wanting a puppy for so long, and it will help to cut down on her desire for play dates and computer time, and it will be a good watchdog, so there is no time like the present. In addition, not everyone gets approved, and judging from the photo it looks almost purebred?
Hannah’s mother came over this afternoon to inspect the place. Her daughter was our nanny for quite a while, so she trusts us. The visit was mostly talking and less inspecting. She knows that the puppy will come to a good home.
This evening we bundled up the kids and went to Pet Smart and Phydeau to get supplies for our new puppy. Bobby loved running around and looking at all the various pets and animals and fishes.
We were planning on getting a crate, but they are so much more expensive than they are on Amazon. We decided to get most of our supplies from Amazon and “make do” with the bed for the puppy for a few days till it arrives. Katie did pick out a nice collar and leash at Pet Smart. Bobby picked out a green “mosquito”? toy at Phydeau…
My wife spent the evening getting the DVD players ready for our “road trip” to get the puppy tomorrow.
