Jamie and I have been talking about a puppy ever since we were dating. Well.... we now have one. Jamie kept saying that it would be a year before we got one but thanks to my mom it got him thinking differently sooner. I kept bringing up how fun it would be to have a puppy but Jamie was stuck on that year thing. We went over to my parents house for some good old fun, and my mom made a comment that changed everything. She said "It would actually be good if you guys got a dog, then Christine would learn how to share." I unfortunately had to agree. I've never been one to share well with others.
So, Jamie gave in. We came to a decision that we wanted a Jack Russell/beagle mix. ( I think that Jamie agreed to that kind of dog because he thought that it would be impossible to find. He was thinking that it would take us a year, for sure, to find that mix much less a puppy. Little did he know who he was dealing with.) Off to the pound we went. No luck there. The next day Jamie went to work and determined me, started the search. Really it wasn't a search at all. After looking at the classifieds, I decided to be more specific in my search. I put in the search bar [ puppy for sale in Sarasota Jack Russell/ beagle mix] and sure enough there popped up our pride and joy. She was living with a family in Brookville (which is two hours away) at the time but that didn't matter to me. I called Jamie at work and he didn't seem nearly as excited as I was but after he got home and saw the picture his heart was softened.
So, now here we are, a happy little family with _____ . (Our no name puppy.)
p.s. the drive was the best part! The best conversations happen on long drives. If you ever need to talk to your husband just get him in the car and drive. :)
