Countdown..

We finally set date and time for pick-up yesterday. Hopefully we can get a cabin at the camp site we stayed at last time, otherwise I'll have to start looking at hotels (twice or three times the amount) or of course we could bring the tent, I suppose..

So let the countdown begin..

1 week and 18 hours until we pick up our new pup.

PS: new puppy collar arrived the other day (you know.. in case none of the 22 others would fit)!

Lol, you sure you haven't got enough collers!! Its a very nice one!! 1 week and 17.5 hours

wow.. exciting times. love the collar..very snazzy !!

I just found out which little guy we're getting, too!

Meet Gummi (Norwegian for rubber. I'm assuming he'll be bouncing all over the place, and he's sweet as a gummy bear.)

Only slightly cute ok VERY!!

Gummi is gorgeous !!!!

He's beautiful Love the colour, and his white sock

loving the collar

Thanks everyone.. A week from now we're probably back home with him!

Lovely, lovely pup .

I've got some more pix

Love the dark mask! He's stunning.

6 days!

how cute is this puppy?! He's cuch a lovely colour too! x

5 days nearly

I sent all my boys up to my OH's home town today. We have an apt in the house where his parents live, on the lake front, and it's where we keep the boat. It's very nice. I have some stuff I need to do in the city on Friday, and then I'll follow them up there after that. Then Saturday morning (early, early) we're heading out from there. His parents can watch the kitties, while Bajas comes with us.

Not long now

Less than four days! And less than three days until we leave. Today I've done most of the necessary puppy proofing of the apt, including reorganizing everything. Only a crazy person would move all the furniture around a few weeks before moving to another house.. However, they are coming to improve isolation around the windows and I don't know when. I had a lot of stuff that would have been in the way, and so since I'm going away for a few days I felt I had to make it accessible. If I knew when they were coming I could always put it all in the middle of the room (and mount a camera to video how they crawl under and over my stuff to get to and from the window ), but since I might get the notice while I'm away... So I've spent hours moving stuff around, getting a good workout, too. I have a TINY apt and lots of furniture. So to move the bed I have to move the couch along with it - and to move these two I have to move the table and the "greenhouse". To move the greenhouse I have to move the freezer.. and so on and so forth. Wasn't even sure if it was possible. But I managed it. And in time for my dad coming over for dinner, too!

You've had a busy day!! I know the feeling about lots of stuff!! And had to giggle about them having to clamber over things, I used keep all my things in one room before I got my place and it isn't easy lol!!!!
Nearly 3 days and counting, its so nice hearing how your preparing for your new pup

LOL.. Here you could always pull the couch out onto the floor, but there's no space to get around it, so you'd have to climb over it to get to the window. Did I mention the maintenance guy lay in my bed fixing new ventilation in the windows last year? They'd forgotten to mention they needed access to the window area, so I had only cleared the kitchen counter as requested.

In 48 hours we'll be well on our way there, and three days from now we'll be on our way home.

are you going to be able to update is whilst your away or are we going to have to wait to hear how it all goes

After leaving I probably won't get on-line until we're back Sunday evening (and only then if I have the energy to turn on the computer ) I can use my phone to surf, but I think it's rather expensive when we go abroad.

Making us wait

I suppose we'll just have to twiddle our fingers & wait.

we can just wait

Oh well.. I've been waiting for weeks (or years, depending on when you start counting), so I'm sure you can manage to wait a day or so for pictures.

have fun
