The wait is killing me!!

Dainerra · 01-01-2011, 08:59 AM

The little fluffballs will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. I think this 3 weeks has been the longest of my life and there is almost twice that to go!!!

I love the updates on how the little guys are starting to show their personalities, but it sends me into serious "puppy issues"

*sigh* remind me how much I'm going to hate potty time at 3am.....

I know that feeling. I was lucky to get pupdates often with loads of pictures to go with. Though it doesn't make the days go by any faster. Are they close enough that you'll be able to visit when they are old enough? That really helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

sadly no..... it would be a 12 hour drive..

but I do hear about them often and have picture updates and everything.

Just thought I'd whine to people who would understand... DH is tired of listening to me and the people at work don't get the concept of actually waiting for someone else to tell me which one I'll be taking home. They think I should just look at a couple pics and get the cutest one.

Nobody understands the "wait" unless you've been there

I understand fully the anticipation and anxiety to wait for your lil ball of fluff. I had to wait 7 months and i have to say "it's well worth the wait". He is the best lil pup i could have asked for <3

Congrats on your "soon to be addition".

I don't even know if we're getting a male or female. Whichever best fits in with us. Know that there is a male that looks promising to fit in well, but it's still early to tell...

*sigh* I'm keeping occupied coming up with potential names

I'm in the same boat as you. 2 weeks to go! I got bored today and decided to make a blog to update with pictures I've received. I plan to update it as he grows with tons of pictures

I'm in the same boat. Went to the breeder's in October to meet the sire and dam of our new puppy. The dam was three weeks pregnant. We were so excited to get our new boy in February. The dam had the puppies on December 5th and they were all female. Uggh!

We transferred the deposit to another planned litter and are now waiting for the female to come into season. Hopefully, we should have our new boy around June. Got my fingers crossed for some males in the next litter.

The waiting is terrible but I know our new puppy will be worth it.

Haha I cannot even imagine...I adopted Friday and pick up Tuesday morning, I can hardly handle the 4 days!!

I'm waiting as well and I'll have my puppy near June too. Sometimes it gets unbearable.

I know I spend lots of time stalking our breeder's website. I'm pathetic. LOL!
