Last Checks!!!

Terribly excited because in less than 7 hours, I will be picking up my Future Leader Dog puppy from Rochester Hills. I have the classic "new mommy syndrome" as my sister commonly refers to it as. I am terribly excited but also terribly afraid at the same time. So many thoughts are going through my head. 'Can I do this?' 'Will I mess up?' 'What if Rusty hates her?' 'How's the first night going to go?' 'What are we gonna do about potty training'. Not to mention I was fortunate enough to land myself a new job that I start training on October 8th. Its so nerve-wracking to think about all the responsibilities that are coming into my life, and so quickly! I think its going to be life changing and so time testing. However, life is always going to give you challenges you just have to take them in stride, relax, and take it one step at a time. In the end its going to all work out.

On to the subject of puppies, after much deliberation and debate amongst friends and family, I have finally decided on a name. Here is the long list of possible names that I originally had [reminder: Leader Dog prefers one or two syllable names with the name not sounding like a command or be closely related to an actual person's name]:

Lilly

Lilith

Yoko

Jada

Jade

Sadie

Macy

Lacy

Claire

Mady

Caydence

Daisy

Darla

Cameron

Landry

Holly

Zoey

Noel

Farrah

Bailey

Bryleigh

Kayleigh

Maizey

Long list huh? Well like I said, after much deliberation and debate, I finally decided on a name: Daisy. Thought it would be perfectly cute and appropriate for an adorable black lab female.

well that's all for tonight. Its going to be a big day tomorrow with much to do and lots of excitement. I have a feeling that once I get the ball rolling with everything for the puppy I think it'll start to go smooth once I have the routine down pat.

Expect an extensive update tomorrow with pictures and possibly some video!!
