Preparation

It is October 21st.  1am, but still...

That means 4 days and 10 hours until Puppy Pick Up day.  Just a little excited about it!    In the last 2 years I have attended meetings, outings, events, and classes.  I have stocked up on toys & supplies.  All that's left is the puppy.

There are just a few final things to do at home and then continue waiting.  You'd think that after 2 1/2 years the last few days would fly by, but just the opposite.  They a going so slow!  I'm hoping that by spacing out the things I have left to do will help the days go faster.  On my agenda:

1) Finish puppy proofing!  Getting down on my hands & knees and looking at everything that a curious puppy will see.  Move everything breakable up out of the reach of a wagging tail & curious nose.  I'm tempted to get those cabinet locks that keep toddlers out of dangerous areas.  Heck, I already have the stove knobs (thanks to the cats) might as well make the set.

2) Bake cookies.  Not because I'm bored, but as an "I'm sorry my puppy is crying & keeping you up at night" gift for the neighbors.  Townhouse walls are well insulated, but if they get mad at me, I'd rather them have cookies to ease the anger.

3) Bake cookies - dog cookies.  I have eight goody bags to make.  Seven for each of Nicholas's litter mates & 1 for my friend's who are getting an "M" puppy.  "Miles" will be going home that day too!  I'm thinking some peanut butter & carob cookies, Pumpkin (it is the Halloween season, after all) & barbeque.  A nice mix.  Also going in the bag is a card with Nicholas's name, my name & email, our facebook page & blog page.  I'd love to keep in touch with his litter mates!

Thats about it.  Other than routine cleaning & prepping.  Hopefully it'll makes the next 3 days go faster.

And Graduation on Sunday!  The final product to 2 years of  hard work.  Congratulations to Kip, Loman & Brisco who will be such amazing guides!  I can't wait to post pics from that day.

Till then...  goodnight!
