I get Dash in 8 more days

I can barely contain my excitement. I need to go over the house one last time, you know, to puppyproof. Cover up the outlets, etc. I have almost everything I need for him, just waiting for the final list from LucyLou.

Over the weekend I picked up some shampoos. Stopped a few people walking with their maltese and asked them a few questions. I needed to know where all the dog shops were around the city.

I found 3 so far. In one, this lady was grooming a bichon... Oh My Goodness, what a beautiful dog and she was doing a GREAT job. Unfortunately, they charge $100 to groom

But I will say, after seeing the final result, the $$ seemed worth it.

I was talking to my boyfriend last night about where Dash would sleep when we are over there so he made some space for him in the living room. Even though he pretends he's not excited, I can tell he is. He did tell me no bows though

but Marj, between you and me, Dash will have a few... shhhh, don't tell anybody.

I had a funny dream last night. I got Dash. However, he kept peeing on me. :lol: It took me almost a year to get him fully trained. He even went in the street, next to one of our famous silver sidewalk trashcans. He was proud of himself.

Again, Thanks Ms. LucyLou. You've made an young lady very happy indeed

Congratulations! You are almost there, I still think the wait is the
hardest part but when you hold that little furbaby in your arms you
will forget all about the agonizing wait you just endured.

I am excited for you, wait until you bring little Dash home. You won"t want to put him down. I have had other breeds of dogs but my Matilda is so human like.

You will soon see.

That's how my husband was like. No topknots, no bows, etc. BUT just you wait. Do it once and they go ga-ga over how cute the dog looks. Easy to convince

Just show him this picture of Toby and he'll see how manly boys look in bows.

Just don't ever show him this picture of Toby in a lilac bow wearing a hot pink shirt with a fur collar!

I was just about to say the same thing. My husband refused to see Tucker in a bow, so I started slow, the groomer put a little blue barette in his hair then went on to a bow. And my husband loves it.
I can't wait until the fall so I can start dressing Tucker up, another no no, but we can't let over little boy be cold, can we?
