We "officially" decided to add a puppy to our home May 2008 (I had wanted a dog since I knew what they were. After years of "nuh-uh no way", Mom and I finally sat down and had a nice deep talk. She told me it was up to my dad, so I go to him, and he says "sure, why not?". >.< )
I had wanted a puppy then and there, but nope, good things are worth the wait, even if it has you jumping up and down your chair and gnawing at the laptop and looking at dog forums during school.
But... I can now call myself a semi-owner of a puppy, as I still don't know which one is him

This is so exciting for me!
And don't worry, I'll be posting nothing but pictures once he comes home!
