My Experience: Getting A Puppy! ♥

I am not surprised that we are in the 22nd day of 2014 and this is my first blog post!
I am such a horrible blogger.

Anywho, I have a lot planned for 2014, I'm a little nervous but I know that change can be a good thing. I have recently started a new job at a call center... So that's exciting. Que an audience laughter. onto more exciting news... Which you probably can already guess from the title of this post.

I told my hubs that I had SEVERE puppy fever. Do not take this lightly, every puppy that I saw on the street I wanted to kidnap or shall I say puppy-nap. (I had better not say that, actually) With that being said, hubs suggested since I had worked so hard and saved up some money, we could visit a puppy store. The second he told me this I made him drive me the nearest puppy store.

Quick disclaimer: I know purchasing puppy from puppy stores is generally not a good idea. We did some research on the puppy store we were headed to, as well as the puppy we ended up purchasing. Our puppy did, in fact, come from a wholesome breeder and NOT a puppy mill.

The puppy store was flooded with chihuahua and Yorkshire terriers, cute as they are, I did not want a small/lap puppy. Upon arrival, I immediate noticed the cutest Golden Retriever that I have ever seen. My immediate reaction was to go to the puppy and check to see if it was a boy or a girl. (I was looking for a girl)

JACKPOT!!!!!

This adorable pup was a girl, she was bouncy and full of life and ever so cute! I had the hubs talk to the employee to see if we could take her into a private section/room so we could play with her, get to know her, etc. Once we were in the room, I couldn't help but name her.... I felt as if she was meant to be Penny and Penny was meant to be mine... As if we were made for each other.

It took me about 3 seconds of holding her to tell hubs that we had to get her. Literally, I had to get her... her puppy paws, puppy breath, puppy teeth, cute stumbling walk, and an adorable white spot on her head... She instantly melted my heart.

Hubs also fell in love with her, admittedly. We told the employee that we wanted her, we signed papers and listened to her history. Turns out, she hadn't even been in the store for a day! Many people had interest in her but did not follow through with the purchase.

I am so blessed with this furry blessing that is now my Penny. She's everything I could have wanted in a puppy & more! I'm sure that will many more posts featuring my golden girl, Penny.

s'cute amiright?!
