Puppy Update aka I'm Still Alive

Nothing like not blogging for a solid month. 

I would think about blogging and then would be like, "nah, tomorrow..."

and then before I knew it, "tomorrow" became about 35 days later. 

hashtag typical. 

Any who, I decided to come back with a puppy update, because my mother told me I needed to. 

True story. 

It is neat to go back to February when I blogged about sending out my deposit and now my future pupster is officially 3 weeks old!! 

Originally my apricot dream of a puppy was due March 19th and I planned on naming him Finn, but unfortunately on St. Patrick's Day, Finn and the rest of the litter didn't survive. I essentially laughed off the entire situation because my puppy dying before he was even mine is the epitome of my life. 

I decided to go for the next liter that was due on March 28th, but had to give up on the dream of having an apricot baby. I originally was beyond upset, but I'm dealing with it. 

Needless to say, my future puppy was born on March 28th and he's the cutest!

Well, it has actually taken a bit of time before his cuteness developed. 

I look back at the picture of the day he was born and think he looks like a rat. 

(I'm already acting like a mother by claiming my "child" is the cutest even though he clearly was not.) 

As of right now I will visit him on May 9th (!!!) and then officially pick him up on May 23rd! 

Can you say losing my mind for the next 34 days?

I NEED to start buying him some things in the near future because I am DYING to get those cute little, baby tennis balls and some monogramed blankets because I. AM. A. MESS. over getting allll the dog things. 

And yes, I said monogramed blankets. 

Particularly monogramed baby/swaddle blankets, because I will force teach him to be a cuddler unlike the puppy I grew up with. 

However, the monogramed blanket does mean that I HAVE ANOTHER NAME!!

And let me tell you. Finding ANOTHER name has been a PROCESS. 

Or should I say, proc/mess?!

INTRODUCING...

Fletcher. 

Ugh, I just live for his little self! 

Isn't he the cutest?! 

And what do we think about the name?!

If you hate it or think he's not cute yet, get out. 

You don't belong here. 

I wish I was kidding...
