Gone and Done It!

Finally, a decision made and a commitment taken on - we are going to be picking up our new puppy later this week!  How exciting and frightening all at the same time.  We went to a pet store yesterday in order to acquire at least the basic stuff we will need including a cage, food, a collar and a leash.  In some ways, I'm glad that we have no idea what we are in for.  Over the course of my life, I've often made changes on that basis because if I did know what to expect, I'd never take any chances or make any big changes.  All in all that approach has worked just fine and it sure reduces the worrying.

If you've taken on a puppy as one of your retirement "projects", I'd love to have your advice.

  1. One of my new favourite sayings "Jump before you are ready…" Good for you! You will fall in love in a heartbeat, and will wonder what took you so long!

    Congratulations! <3

  2. Never having had a baby or a puppy, I'm finding out the hard way that it is quite the challenge. And the toughest part is not so much training the puppy as training myself!
