haha aww good to hear your kitty has the same name as my puppy! Ashley-- that is so exciting about your pup! 2 weeks old already, OMGOSH you must be DIEING!! Those weeks once she was born went sooo fast, get prepared for your life to change forever! haha And Erin, you're not too far behind, it's going to be so crazy when we all have our little ratties! Do you guys ever go to magnuson? If so, I take Olive there a few times a week, we have to meet up there with our pups someday! I didn't know how Olive would do off leash, but she follows me and comes back when called, so I've been lucky haha. Oh, for the plane ride, it was extremely expensive, 100 each way, and now it's 150 each way! It's the biggest rip off ever, her ticket was as much as MINE! I don't know what the weight limit for carry on is.. maybe like 20 lbs? But it was so awesome having her with me in cali, so it was worth it! I take her everywhere I can- target, starbucks, shopping for clothes, outdoor restaurants, haha EVERYWHERE. I've gotten kicked out of one starbucks in hermosa beach, and I was kicked out of Jamba juice, I think that's it. I carry her though, if a pup is too big to be carried, it might be different. I have a bag for her, but I'm usually too embarrassed to use it because it's coach and I feel like a bitch carrying around a coach dog carrier haha.. looks like I might need another one.. I'm having serious issues with crate training though, she will cry and cry for HOURS when she is alone, it's the most frusterating thing because I don't know what I will do when school starts and she has to be alone for hours I might have to hire a trainer if she doesn't grow out of it soon... Anyways, can't wait for you guys to get your pups!!!!!!

OH I'M ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC! haha i'm counting down the days until she's eight weeks! (5 weeks and 4 days lol) and i still have to move before then! i plan on taking my puppy to magnuson too! (and green lake there's also an off leash area nearby there too) how old is olive now? i want to take mine everywhere with me too, but wanna be careful for parvo. do you only carry olive to prevent that? ooo! i think most of the stores in the village allow pets so i'm looking forward to shopping too, do the regular stores like target or the mall usually mind, in your experience? i was thinking about getting a little bag to carry her too so i don't have to set her down directly on the ground... but not coach, i don't want to look like a bitch... LOL totally kidding! is olive very heavy to carry? haha ok, i'll stop grilling you with all of the questions have you posted a question in the training forum about crate training? i read in one that you might try leaving her alone for a few minutes and then come back and just keep doing that for longer periods of time, when she realizes that you'll still be back no matter for how long, she should settle down easier. have you moved to your pet friendly place yet? (it'd probably be easier with the crate training if you were lol...) hopefully she picks it up before school starts erin, do you have all of your puppy stuff yet? hee hee i posted a picture of the stuff i got on our spree i came home and nathan was like "you got a pink bed?" it's like "dur! what else would a princess sleep on?!" oh we should all get like matching socks or something! like a team! haha we can be like team rattie or whatever ...or not... lol... but whateither!

she put up a couple more this morning. she kinda adds them sporadically (sp?) so it's a good thing i check every day lol but i guess nothing's 100% til it's a done deal. she wants the top pick of the litter (boy or girl) and i still don't know what the other 2 want yet... but my odds are pretty good of getting a girl, i just need to stay optimistic! but personally, i keep switching between the red/chocolate and the chocolate... ugh! the waiting!!! i can't wait to see lynn's puppies soon! you're probably counting the days!

aww they are so cute, im sure that it wont matter after you get it. and yeah your odds are good, there are 3 girls and 3 people picking before you, that means all of them have to get girls for you not ot, and if not, then lynn will be having 2 dogs having puppies in 15 and 17 days and im sure there would be a little girl in there for you

so wait, i'm confused! lol so you have 3 cats total? and one is going with you? ooo! fancy! where do you get the embroidering done? well it has 8 panels (2 feet long each) so it makes 16 sq. ft. in a square. but a 4'x4' didn't look that big on the floor lol oh well, it has plenty of room so that her bed and litter box aren't very close to each other GOSH! i'm getting so excited! only a few more weeks! (ok, more like a month... but still! ) i love researching all the different dog breeds. i know i won't be able to get a 2nd dog for quite a while, but i can look anyways! lol i dunno, i've been looking at the long haired chihuahuas. they're so fluffy! but still undecided...

ok so i think i may have decided on a brand of food. ok theres innova evo, which after looking at it is kinda spendy, but a good 6 star food on dogfoodanalysis.com then there is wellness core, also a good 6 star food, well wellness, not the core or whatever, is a 5 star food becasue it isnt completely grain free, but not bad really, hence the still having 5 stars, anyway, the wellness food is an ok price, still kinda spendy but if you buy bulk, like the 30 lb bag, then you save a lot, and here the twist. petso sells it and i get my 20% discount, so instead of paying 50 for a 30 lb bag, i will be paying around 40 for a 30 lb bag. anyway what dp you think of the wellness food? im hoping we have a winner

haha i know what you mean. on the one hand, only 4 more weeks! but at the same time... ugh! 4 more weeks is FOREVER!!! wow! only 8 and 10 days!!! that's so close! i don't think lynn's gonna get much sleep around that time, that'd be kinda rough for her if they went into labor at the same time! actually i was narrowed down between those foods too! i wanted to feed the core but they said it was only for the adults. but the wellness puppy wasn't as good as the core (still good, just not grain free) so i'm still considering going with evo since it's for all life stages... but wellness is still a good food so i might just go with that... i'm just SOOOOO indecisive haha i think i need to go do some more price comparison shopping... doesn't petco do this buy a certain number of bags in a certain amount of time and you get a bag free too? if so, that's another bonus for wellness. but there's this petshop (mudbay grainery) that sells like all of the good quality foods and i can get sample bags to see what she likes... haha i dunno, i still have 4 weeks
