I'm dyin' over here
April 19, 2006 at 12:13 PM

I'm at my breaking point with this dog situation. You would think they fact that I've already waited 4 years to get a dog (technically it's been longer, but 4 years is how long it's been practical) I would be able to hold my shit together. But christ man, it's gone on too long.

We've been waiting on this one special breeder to announce when she'll have puppies again. I originally called her last July on a referral from someone here in Chicago. She wasn't supposed to have puppies ready until winter and who the hell wants to potty train a puppy in the Chicago winter. I'm strong, but not that strong. So we've been waiting and waiting since then as she keeps delaying the doggy love sessions. Hey, sometimes a girl wants her space and she doesn't want no dog butt all up in her grill. I totally understand, the dogs weren't ready.

I've emailed the breeder twice not and she politely told me that she would DEFINITELY let me know when she had any news. I pretty much took that as "ok, psycho lady. let's just calm down here and be patient". I'm totally psycho dog lady, I'll admit it. So I'm playing the waiting game which doesn't go over so well when you're a control freak.

Have you noticed I've been using capital letters and punctuation?

Anyway, she finally updated her website February 13th saying that "We have planned breedings for the Spring". And every day I look at her website to see if she's updated it and every day I ask myself "what does she consider Spring? April? May?", "I wonder what she means by 'planned breedings'? Does that mean the breeding will happen in Spring or will the puppies be born in Spring?", "I wonder when she'll email me? When the dogs are pregnant? Or when the puppies are born".

And basically I've been doing this every day since February 13th. Yeah. Luckily I found this game to keep my busy. thanks be to cute overload
