Some of you may remember that I posted a few months ago about wanting a shih tzu puppy. Well, I think now is the time. I have been thinking about it for some months now so its not a complete hormonal decision but I think it will help to give me something to love for and care for. Here is the link http://shihtzusbymorrow.com/Nursery%20News.htm scroll down a couple and look at Jasmine. I talked to the lady who has her, she is 10 weeks old and ready for a home. I explained that we had our trip planned the 22nd-29 and she siad she would keep her until then no problem as she is part of the family. The "breeder" owns 7 shih tzus herself and 3 cats so the dog has been well socialized. Jasmine is paper trained, has full run of the house and is very happy. She believes that Jasmine will be about 9lbs fully grown and said she will make a wonderful companion.
I talked to WIll and he is all about it. He has thought it was a good idea many months ago and even mentioned it a few days ago. I know it won't replace my babies, I'm not fooling myself but I think it will help to have something to love and hold. I relaize this is a long term commitment and thats fine. Even if we do have a baby, I will still want the dog. My boss has said before if I got a small dog, I can bring it with me to the office everyday. This will be good so I won't be alone so much. I'm still very much hurting and I know thats not going to go away but if a little dog will help ease my pain, then why not. I need to call the lady back tomorrow and we can go out this weekend, she lives about 45 minutes away and meet Jasmine. If we decide she is the right dog for us, we can leave a deposit and pick her up as soon as we get back from our trip.
