Woof!

I'm so used to saying "woof!" to mean something negative, like "woof, that test went well" but thisss time, it means "woof! I might be getting a doggie of my own soon"!

I don't want to say too much yet because it still might fall through, but I mayyy be adopting a small dog from a woman near my hometown. The original owner of these 4 cute doggies passed away and a woman who was caring for them is trying to find them good homes. One is left, and she just might be my buddy. We have to wait and see if my parent's dog will accept her first, but if all goes well at that meeting, I may be taking her home with me in a little over a week. I have mixed feelings-- I want a dog so badly to love here in my apartment (it gets lonely living with a roommate and no animals) but I don't want my dog at home to feel like I am replacing her. Lame, I know. If this works out, though, I will be thrilled to have one of my very own to love and care for.

The idea of getting a dog, however, carries it's own concerns-- what do I name her!? She already comes with a name, but I'm not sure I like it enough to keep it. It's very hard to find a girl's name that isn't wimpy and princess-y. The second thing is that even though I won't have to pay to actually adopt this dog, I will need to get it a vet checkup andddd buy all of the things that dogs need (leash, harness, collar, food, bowls, toys, crate, etc). It adds up! Thankfully I was paid yesterday and am going to try to save some of the money so I will be able to afford those items come next week, if I need to.

Because I've been thinking about buying all of these things, I've been looking for websites that have good deals on pet supplies. If anyone has any links to places you like to go, please share! I'm taking suggestions!
