Dog Mom

So, I'm sitting here typing this blog with the cutest little 7.5 pound maltipoo sitting on my lap. A maltipoo that will hopefully be my forever dog. This week, I'm on a foster to adopt with this sweet dog and so far, I'm in love!

I actually have a draft that I started a few weeks ago, with the title, I Think I Want a Dog! I didn't finish it, but I guess this can be that blog!

I've always wanted a dog, but knew I wouldn't have enough time to devote to one, plus there is the fact that I'm allergic to dogs. A few weeks ago, when I was at that craft show in Lewisburg, I saw the most perfect dog and I wanted her sooo bad. She was adopted, however I have been looking at rescues since for a dog like her.

Two nights ago, my crazy dog lady best friend called me and told me there was a 3-4 year old maltipoo in Mississippi that was an owner surrender, and asked if I was interested. I of course said yes. Well, today, this sweet little dog was on a transport to Spring Hill from Biloxi, Mississippi.

Caroline went with me to pick him up and sign the paper work. I was immediately taken with this sweet, but scared dog. So far, he is perfect, granted, it's just been a few short hours!

He slept in Caroline's lap the whole way home. We went to Shelby and Johns house where the kids, and the adults loved him. John Mark asked if he could spend the night and also told me that Poppa would probably like  him better if he stayed at his house! LOL! Luckily, I know I have some good babysitters lined up!

Mom and dad seemed to like him, he is too cute not to like.

In Mississippi, he wasn't properly taken care of. His hair was a wreck and he had been vaccinated at home instead of at a vet! I didn't know that was such a thing. So yesterday, after the rescue in Mississippi got him, they took him to the vet to be vaccinated and groomed. He looks completely different. He isn't neutered, but hopefully will be by the end of the week! I ain't got time to have a dog that's a baby daddy!

He is pretty skinny too, he came home and ate like crazy! I didn't want to over feed him though and mess his stomach up. He may not be used to good food!

I also have not heard him bark once! When we got to my house, he just looked at Knievel, didn't even flinch. I'm not sure Knievel realized I was carrying a dog in either! Hopefully tomorrow they are still calm like that.

I'm  not sure he fully understands how to walk on a leash and he is not interested in any toys that I have for him. He has seriously been sleeping in my lap since we got home. He better sleep tonight too!

I kind of felt nervous when I left my parents house, heading to mine with this cute baby.   It's like I was bringing home a new kid, which for me, I kind of am!

I'm thinking it's going to be a match made in heaven. He better not be tricking me with how good he is!
