Some Gear for the New Pup

Fast forwarding through since the day we called to reserve him, we ended up with the name "Mozby". We went through quite a few names, and for some reason, the name just suited him. I also adore the way Kat confusingly says, say it along now, "Mozby?!" Hence, the name of the blog.

So Kat and I decided to go out to Petsmart to hunt for some epic gear to deck out our new puppy in since he would be arriving shortly. He is so going to be geared out when he arrives. 12 more days!!! We are way too excited.

We walked around a bit and looked at some crates and dog food and we eventually ended up buying a kong ball, squeaky tennis balls, a golden bone dog tag, and a "thurs-sun" newspaper subcription for 5 weeks to the OC Register. Kind of a weird story, but the OC Register guy was there while we were in line at the register and offered to give us $13 if we registered for $11.50 for 5 weeks ($11.50 every five weeks after that). The $13 was to be paid in two $5 petsmart giftcards and $3 dollars in cash. We said, "Meh, why not?" since we were going to end up spending that at Petsmart at some later time. We've always wanted a subscription to some kind of newspaper, but we are just going to use the 5 free weeks up, cancel, and wait for a totally mega crazy awesome super happy deal in the newspaper later. Hopefully soon.

Isn't it weird how tv is crap on sundays and the sunday newspaper is the best of all days of the week. It's got to be some kind of scam to get you to read the newspaper on sunday mornings and early afternoons.

We've chosen our first pup!

It all started with my girlfriend, Kat, browsing numerous breeders and their pups. I told her not to, she did anyways, and now we are getting a pup. So awesome! We've actually been talking about this for months now, doing so much extensive research on sibes and I guess it was about time. There were 3 black/white males, 2 red/white females, and 1 black/white females in this litter, although there were other litters born around the same time as well. We really had our eyes on males primarily because females had their period times, and we didn't want to deal with diapers.

We fell in love immediately with this puppy. Kat inquired the breeder about the pup soon after and we made the deal. He was born 08-08-08! That was even the same day my new niece Alaina was born! He is 4 weeks 1 day old here. We had another pup in mind. He was grey/white. But we liked this guy here loads more.

Well yesterday we made it official. The breeder emailed back and asked us what kind of pup we were interested in. We emailed back and she responded telling us that it would be best to decide soon because there were some people coming over later that afternoon to look at her puppies. We talked it through and decided that there was no way we could let this guy go. We had to act fast. It's a good thing too! Almost all her pups were gone after that weekend. We would have been really bummed.

Now it's time we play the waiting game.
