Let the Countdown Begin

It’s been a long time in the making.  For Nina, it’s been years in the making! Nina loved dogs as a TODDLER, but I think the first time I posted seriously about it was HERE when Nina was getting ready to turn four.  Then there was a VERDICT of No on the dog.  Then she waited another year, had a DOG THEMED PARTY and still no dog.  Then she resorted to TREATING LYLA LIKE A DOG.  By the following summer, she was still dog obsessed and had taken to WEARING DOG EARS from morning to night as a sign of her desire to have a dog.  She even made it in THE LOCAL PAPER with her dog ears on.  I have so many pictures of her with the ears on – she wore them for months.  These are just a few.

     

We finally told the girls on Nina’s 7th birthday that we were getting a puppy.  The puppy isn’t for Nina solely, it will be a family pet.  Lyla is thrilled about getting a puppy, so we’re all excited for the pup to be here.  As I posted before, we got a Vizsla puppy, and she’s turning 8 weeks old on Thursday of this week.  We named her Cayenne, and she’s flying on a plane on Thursday morning from her current home at Countryside Kennel Resort to our home, so the countdown is on.  Her flight comes in just before noon on Thursday, so we’re well within 48 hours of her arrival.  Of course I’ll post pictures when she arrives, but we’re very excited here.  It’s going to be a long day of waiting tomorrow!!!
