We found out about this family who breeds Boston Terriers through Josh's friend and decided to call the lady and see when the next liter would be ready to go. Well, she had one pup left that was 8 weeks old and ready to go so we jumped on it and went and saw the pup and fell instantly in love. We knew it would be a lot of work training the pup and then just a few short months later bring a newborn into the home so we were undecided but told the breeder we would let her know before the evening.
--SIDENOTE--I'll admit that we aren't the best at planning FAR in advance and being patient for big events to come...[remember] we met, dated, and were married within 10 months!! So with that said I am sure you can guess that Josh came home that evening with the pup in his arms and all. I was totally shocked because on the phone just an hour before we had discussed the possibility of waiting to get a dog when our baby was a few years old. Overall, I am happy we chose to get a dog right now. He is teaching me responsibility and preparing me to wake up in the night and early in the morning to take care of his potty needs. We named him Ozzie (after Ozzie Smith, the famous Cardinals baseball player).
I love when he naps on me |
