New Dog

So as I was laying in the hotel room night after night alone for 2 and a half weeks, it occurred to me that I should get a companion. A companion would make life not to boring, it would help with my loneliness, etc, etc. So I started researching (I went to a holistic pet store and asked the owner) toy dogs that I could travel with. I decided kinda on a poodle and started researching toys, how much it would cost to buy a puppy, what the grooming requirements were, potential health problems, etc, etc etc. Then I looked at the Central Carolina Poodle Club's rescue page. There was a two year old, boy poodle named Peanut. (I hate that name.) So anyway, I filled out the application, sent numerous e-mails back and forth to the woman who was fostering him. I used Megan and Mark for references (and they said great things) and I made an appointment to meet him on Saturday (yesterday). So they showed up around 2:30 and I was instantly in love.

Caroline (the foster mom) had put bows in his hair (those came off as soon as they left) put he'd just been groomed and he looked so cute. Anyway, he's a sweetheart and he loves me. He follows me everywhere. We took a nap together today cause we were up early to let him out. Anyway. So that's an update on my life. I'm still in North Carolina and I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be here, but that's okay.

I'm sane and happy and a pet owner!! Yay!

By the way, his name is Crispin now. It means one with curly hair. teehee.
