I have to apologise for the fact that this blog has felt more than a little glum lately. It's only natural, since the failed IVF has been pretty much the only thing on my mind... but there are still good things happening around us, too.
I mentioned it a few weeks ago, but we are counting down the days until we can bring home our dog! The cats aren't going to know what's hit them, that's for sure - but I'm hoping with lots of interaction & inside visits, they'll get along well {or at least tolerate each other} in the future. Oscar is a mellow cat, but Evie is ridiculously skittish.
I've always wanted a Husky, Jase wanted a Labrador. We both agreed on a 'big dog' since it's important to us to get out and go for walks. After lots of research, and after letting our turf settle in the backyard, we decided on a Golden Retriever. I had contacted a few breeders in the past, and had asked to be on Litter Watch 2012. Wouldn't you know it, but a litter was born in early April, just local to our home.
We visited them at 4 days old, then again last week and have been waiting since then to bring a little guy home.
I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to bringing Sir Puppers home with us. It's a welcome distraction that's coming at the perfect time - I'm getting prepared for vaccinations, long nights crying, and puppy pre-school. I am ridiculously excited for puppy breath. I am so, so ready to be a mama - even to another fur-baby. My animals are so important to me... bringing home the dog will complete our little family, for now.

They are so so adorable :)) Loove dogs... and how kind, loyal and living they are... always good for a cuddle :) Such a lovely distraction xoxo
I can't wait to see pics of him or her in your home! Puppies are so fun! This may be the best distraction ever.
They are adorable!!! I think that bringing Buster home last year was the best thing we could have done. He has been a fantastic distraction!
He is totally adorable!
They are just about the cutest puppies ever!! Stella (although frustrating at times) has totally made my life more meaningnful!
Our puppy was the BEST thing to happen after my miscarriage. It gave me a really good outlet...I hope it is the same for you! So so CUTE!
Over the weekend there was an old couple with a half dozen puppies in a shopping center parking lot. I begged J-Mo to stop and let me snuggle them, he said we were already late (in all fairness, we were, tremendously). I am only slightly mollified by these adorable bundles of fur. So cute!!

SO CUTE! Puppy breath is the best thing. And those sharp little baby dog teeth - so precious!
Hello from ICL: These puppies are ADORABLE! We got a dog last summer right before IUI and IVF (both failed) and she saved my life. Honestly, having a dog by your side during stressful situations will make them much, much easier to manage. And puppies are so cute. Post more pics.
