Mood:  bright

Well I talked to Lennie last night about Andy the Golden Retriever puppy I wrote about yesterday. He of course was all for it seeing as he has been after me for months to get a dog. I told him I just wasn’t sure if I could handle a dog right now and he informed that that he would help with the finances and care. So this morning I put in an application for Andy. It was 3 pages and very detailed. I am nervous they won’t find me a good match. It is sort of like adopting a child. Now I just have to wait for a phone call.

The one thing that worries me is that my yard isn’t fenced in. That is a huge plus to these adoption people. I wasn’t planning on doing it till next year. My boss suggested an invisible fence but I just don’t know if I could shock my dog. I am sure if I was going with a normal pound I would pass just for having a pulse, but this dog is being fostered and I have dealt with a lot of foster moms and they can be very strict on the types of homes they send these dogs to. I figure if I don’t get selected then it is just not meant to be. But I know in my heart of hearts that I could give this dog a great home. I mean just look at Fenwick and Merlin. Have you ever seen two more spoiled animals?

I also worry about Fenwick. He has never been around dogs before and doesn’t do well with change. He also doesn’t like sharing his toys and I can just image the fight that would ensue if the dog went to pick up Fenwick’s cat puppet. (shudder at the thought).

I was also thinking that if I did get Andy I would have to change his name. What do you think of Potter? Goes with the whole wizard theme I got  going at the moment. I just realized I am getting ahead of myself.

We will just have to wait and see.
