Wasn't meant to be...

Ok, so I said Ginger was a dream. Well apparently she became more than a dream to me because I couldn't forget about her!!! I started researching the breed and looking up anything I could find about them!!!

I couldn't get her out of my mind!! I kept looking at the pictures and I fell in love with her!!!! So Syd and I went back to see her on Wed. My thought was - Ok, when we went to see her the first time, she had just gotten back from the vet. So that's probably why she was so calm and sweet. I thought, if she's rambunctious this time - forget it! Well of COURSE she was JUST as sweet the second time as the first. She jumped a little further into my heart. I was READY to take her home, well in my heart anyway. So we left and the next night, I decided to run up with Mason because he hadn't met her and really wanted to. He was SUPER excited (ok, I was too!!! LOL!)

We walked in and her pen was empty. So we looked to see who had her out. Noone. I asked the girl where she was. She recognized me from being in twice before and got this horrible look on her face and said "She just left!!! I'm SO sorry!!!" I just stared at her. Why had that thought never crossed my mind. She was precious - of COURSE someone else was going to want her!!! I just looked at her and without a word, just turned around and walked out. Mason SOBBED! I cried!!! It was pitiful!! But that little pup had worked her way into my heart. And I realized later that night that I had already started to imagine her in our life!! I was heartbroken!! I know some will find that silly, but I was.

And of course they had just updated their website that morning (before she was sold) and there she is - just as beautiful as ever!!! I kept hoping it was a mistake. I even called the next day to make sure I had heard her right!!! LOL!!!! I would have taken her home that minute!!!

What I realized through all of this is that I think I am ready for a puppy. Rex isn't completely on board - he said "I'm not saying no, I'm just saying think about everything." I'll take that for now!! Stay tuned!!!!! ;)
