Anticipation

So much has been going on! Last Thursday I got B moved out of his dorm just fine. I met his roommate for the first (and last) time, and when we got back to my house we moved my old 32" clunker cathode ray TV out of the living room and installed his sleek 37" Vizio hi-def 1080P flatscreen...wow. Just...wow. I love it and now I'm pretty much convinced I need a flatscreen too. And I'm very impressed with Vizio, despite my upbringing as a hardcore fan of anything Sony. On Friday, B and I went into the big city to go to the tech school to finalize his financial aide paperwork. Afterwards, we went all around the area looking for him an apartment that he needs to move into by June 8th when school starts. On Saturday, we went back to the city to go to his class orientation, and afterwards we did more apartment shopping. We've narrowed it down to two, and he's going back tomorrow to decide which one he wants to live in, and do all the paperwork. That night I went with my friend J, back to the city again, to pick up her puppy from the airport...so cute! Sunday, I pretty much worked from open to close, and when I got home I was exhausted and went to sleep early. Yesterday, Monday, wasn't supposed to be busy but we did run some errands so it wasn't totally relaxed. I had to search all over the mall to find some shoes and an undershirt for my dog show suit, and we also had to get the industrial-sized package of batteries from Sam's since I've run out of batteries twice in the past week, so now I've got enough to last a year or two! Then last night J took me out to Chili's for dessert as a thank-you for going with her to the airport last week, and when I got back B and I went to Gamestop for the midnight release of the new UFC game. It was fun; the local MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) club put on a demonstration, which was pretty interesting to watch.

Mentally, I am so excited right now. T's breeder and owner, who is also a professional handler, has invited me to tour the country showing with her the next couple of weekends. This weekend we'll be going to Oklahoma for a show, then next weekend we'll be going to Louisianna, and immediately from there we'll leave for Kentucky! I'm super thrilled and am so glad I'm finally under a handler's wings so that I may gain a foothold in the world of professional dog showing.

Another source of anticipation right now is waiting to hear back from the lady who is the breeder of my next Brittany puppy. She is going to have the female x-rayed tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get a picture of the ultrasound! (I'll be sure to post the picture here if I do.) I'm so excited about my little coffee puppy! Now I just need to pick a name...
