Sooooo........ here's my story.
My husband and I got married last year, bought a house this year, and have been wanting a dog ever since (actually much longer than that, but couldn't make it a reality until now).
We did tons and tons of research and ultimately decided on the Vizsla. Looked into rescue, talked with several groups even outside our state and were vetted as great potential V owners but were put on wait lists a mile long (guess that's a good thing). But we were still longing for our velcro dog.
After waiting what we both agreed was "long enough", we researched puppies and decided that we were indeed ready to train a tot. Began researching breeders, talked about logistics of puppy care and geared ourselves up for parenthood.
In September, I decided to pull a fast one on my husband. I secretly put a deposit on a Vizsla pup from an upcoming litter of our agreed-upon breeder.
I fibbed to hubby and told him that I contacted the breeder, but all the puppies-to-be were already accounted for, so she's going to call us just as soon as she's ready to have her next litter.
So he has no idea that he's getting a puppy for Christmas!!
This has been the hardest secret to keep, in my life!!!!
Pups were born Oct 13 (TWELVE OF THEM!!!!!), I get to pick her (I chose a GIRL :-*) TOMORROW!!! And she's coming home Dec 11.
I am so excited, I'm ready to burst. I can't believe it's finally happening! And that I haven't blabbed yet.
Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
