No Puppy today... :(

The lady that has Nitro and was going to bring him to us tonite on her way to her cruise in Galveston.....she called me this morning all apologetic, and said that she felt bad but Nitro has a little cold and she didnt want to risk bringing him all this way and handing us over a sick dog...she just didnt feel right doing that.

So, she was going to have her mom tend to him while she is on her vacation, then she said she is willing to ship the puppy to us when she gets back (airplane). The thought of that makes me sick to my stomach, putitng a little puppy in a crate and into the belly of a plane...even if it is only a couple hours....I just cant do it.

SO......we are going to talk to her and work out another weekend that we can drive up halfway and get him, meet her somewhere between here and her place (she is in Oklahoma)...etc...we are thinking maybe during spring break. Bummer as we were really wanting him here before James' birthday next week....but better to get a healthy dog than a sick dog right off the bat....so we will wait.

Now to dodge the questions when James comes to us and wants to know where the "puppy birthday" is......crap......time to think fast!!! LOL!!! :)
