Whoop! I write this in high spirits 12 hours before we go and pick up our new puppy, Sugar! Above are the first pictures of both Buddy and Sugar we ever got. The first is the image of Buddy that made my Mum fall in love with him. The second is the pic we took at the breeder’s house.
How did it happen?
At some point I’ll probably write a longer post about how we adopted both of our doggies, but for now I’ll just write a simple explanation.
I went to stay with my BFF for a week, and when I was on my way home, this text exchange happened:
So that was pretty huge news to me because I’ve been begging my Mum for AGES to get a dog… Saying it would be great company for her, but if I’m completely honest I wanted to have a pup in the house! Our cat is great – but dogs are much better ;3
Mum was always adamant she’d get an older dog between 1-4 years so I was surprised to hear she was considering a puppy. I got home and she told me she wasn’t just looking at one dog, but two – the other one was ‘Donny’, who later became Buddy. We drove to see Sugar and picked her out of the two remaining female puppies, and then after some debate my Mom decided to go for Buddy, too.
Buddy’s been living here for just over a week now and is settling in well, if a little scared of our cat. I’ll post photo updates of them both together later today…
