Puppygeddon descends on us in 24 days. I’m still not sure we know what we’re really getting ourselves into here. But the odd thing is I’m very excited about it, even with the anxiety and knowledge of all the work this is going to take.
We haven’t received any more pictures from the breeder, which is driving Kathie (and me) a little nuts. I almost feel like we’re stalking the breeder waiting for more pictures!
We have a safe place setup in the kitchen, but still need to get some supplies:
- Short leash and collar
- Pee pads
- Dog Dishes
- Slip proof rugs for the hardwood floor
- A good chew toy
- Dog Food
- More pee pads
- Training tools, like shaker cans and some good treats
- And the list goes on…
The plan is for Kathie and I to drive to Ohio on Friday, March 19th. Hopefully we can leave fairly earlier and take our time getting there and enjoy a nice dinner out or something. We’ll probably stay in Chillicothe, which I’m sure you know was the first capital of Ohio. That’s the closest city to the breeder that has hotels, but it’s only about 10 miles form the breeder. That way we can get to the breeder fairly early and meet our new pup and still get on the road back home pretty early. I think that’s important because it’s probably going to be a much longer trip back with potty breaks and potential cleaning of the car along the way.
It’s about an 8 hour drive, so I hope to get home around 8 PM or so. I’m sure the kids will have worn out Grandma and Grandpa by then, but I’m guessing they’ll still be up to meet the new addition to the family.
