I've been on the waitlist with Cee Cee's Puppy Palace since Nov., 2013. At #28 on the waitlist, I've been hoping and praying that it would be ample time to bring home a puppy in June. I would have all summer to potty train, teach it some new tricks, and most importantly, shower and spoil it with all my love. Teachers, you can relate to your birthing strategies, can't you?? ;)
Now it's Spring. With the next two litters ready to come, I was a close #9. Each Momma Pup usually gives birth to an average of 4 puppies per litter, so I was just baaaarely making the cut. So you can imagine the kind of stress I was under for the past couple of weeks! The gut-wrenching, oh-my-gosh, when-is-it-going-to-be-my-turn, kind of stress. I made the boy check her FB page religiously every day (sometimes multiple times a day!) to see if there was any new news on the waiting front. I'm no mom to a human being, but it made me empathize with all the other mommas out there in the world. Mommies who are pregnant, Mommies who are adopting, and Mommies who are waiting to become pregnant... THIS is what you must feel. The excruciating pain of playing the waiting game. Hoping and praying that your number will be called.
Well, after weeks of whining and complaining to the boy, my number was called! Who ever said that that doesn't work is a LIAR cuz.... *drum roll please*.... I'm #4! It's basically a 100% guarantee that I will be bringing a baby pup home in June!
My little fur baby may not be here yet, but I am already feeling an overwhelming love for it. I can't wait to bring the little sucker home! :)
Basically what I'm feeling right about now:
