It has certainly been a long time since I have posted! Lots of new and exciting things are going on in my life!
7 weeks ago Tanner and I decided on a breed of dog and started searching. 6 weeks ago we were in Kingwood and his mom started helping us with our dog search. She gave us the names and numbers and websites of a bunch of different places (every place we had already looked, but still very helpful). Tanner finally sat down and found a breeder in Glaveston, called to ask if they had any females and she said "yes, but she's already spoken for." =( After talking for awhile, she finally came out saying that she had been spoken for for awhile but the man had never come to pick her up yet and if he didn't come by Sunday we could have her. Tanner called Sunday and she said "she's all yours" and we had about an hour to go get her. We kicked our friend out (he understands!), ran to the ATM to get cash to pay for her, and on our way we went! After we got her (Lucky was her original name) we went to Petco to buy EVERYTHING, as we had nothing!
We took Lucky Pinkerton (her registered name as she full-bred) aka Pink to the vet at 12 weeks and found out (as we already assumed) she was WAY underweight and very poorly taken care of at the breeders. She had a massive yeast infection in her ears, roundworms and hookworms, and an infection on her belly, as well as awful dandruf. Our poor baby was put on 3 different meds to get her better.
We went to the vet yesterday and found out all the original stuff was gone, minus the infection on her belly and her dandruff. She's on 2 more meds for her belly, as well as a medicated sampoo for her dandruff. We may have bought her from the "Galveston Ghetto" as our vet put it, but we love her just the same and look at this as we were saving her from worse infections.
Pink already sits at the door when she has to go potty. She sits before we feed her and lets us mess with her while she eats (something ALL dogs should let you do. This helps so they won't attack kids who want to play while they're eating). She also slept ALL night last night, only waking up for Tanner to feed her and take her out at 5:30 this morning. She went back to sleep and I had to wake her up at 8:30 when I finally rolled out of bed. She is such a sweet girl and LOVES to cuddle and give kisses. We are so blessed to have our little bundle of joy!
We're heading to Kingwood tonight to start Christmas with Tanner's side of the family. I'm looking forward to getting to spend time with his family! We're going out to dinner tonight where we will have to give them their gifts since we will be with my family when his 2 brothers and their wives and kids will be doing Christmas with his family.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
