Hi everyone! I just posted a pic of my pug Gypsy in the album. I took it yesterday when I was visiting her at the breeder. Shes 10 weeks old and she comes home with me next monday (the 2nd) and I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I've never had a puppy period so I'm gearing up for the housetraining and chewing marathon.
A cool story about her. I started 'pug shopping' last fall and found my current breeder around late november. They were going to wait to breed her mom but her dad had other ideas and sprung her from the crate while the breeder was in the shower. They said they'd keep her separated in case it didn't take but I hoped it would because her dad was black and I was hoping for a black one(her mom is fawn and so's the other male they were *going* to breed her with so I thought chances would be better with a black parent) Plus they'd be due to go home in spring, just what I was hoping for. The breeder later told me that she was taking her for a check up to see if she was even pregnant so I was fretting over it and had a dream. In my dream she had 4 puppies, 2 black, 2 fawn, 2 females, 1 male, and the 4th kept changing (yeah wierd dream) Then I see her post on her site that the vet saw 4 puppies in the Xray so I emailed her and told her about my dream. We both agreed it would make seeing what the outcome was more interesting. Well. She had 2 fawn females, a black male, and a black female! I said I should have a hotline! I was hoping for the black girl but someone had requested that ahead of me so sulking I figured I'd have to wait till the next litter came. Then that lady chose a different puppy! So in a way I feel like she's *ment to be mine*. Dorky I guess but makes an interesting story I think.
And her disposition appears to be perfect! She's spunky enough to handle living here with my boys, and still loves to just sit and be petted.
So, I'm excited, wanted to share, and hope I can post questions if they come up!
