Moby

Yesterday I went to Pickle's co-worker's house for happy hour wine. I got to meet all the youngsters that she works with and most importantly got to meet Moby the pug. Moby was a great pug, with a good personality and so. much. energy. He raced around and around the apartment, so excited with all the guests. He liked me, too. He is only about 7 months old, so he is still a busy puppy. It was so exciting to drink wine, eat yummy snacks and hang out with a young pug all at the same time. Oh yeah, and my Pickle and her friends. I talked to Moby's owner about how much I want one and how I had to wait a while to get one.

As we were leaving, she mentioned a lady who lives around the corner who is looking to get rid of her girl pug puppy. This lady has a 12 year old something-terrier (small) and the two don't get along so she has decided to give the pug away. She is about 6 months old and Moby's mom was considering adopting her, but wasn't sure. I told her I was very interested. I told her to give the lady's number to Pickle so that I could see it right away. Her name is Elle or Ella and I think that sounds close enough to Olive that we could re-name her my dream pug name. She had someone looking at her the other day, so I hope she doesn't get adopted before I get a chance. I am seriously considering this. Although I always wanted to raise an Olive from puppyhood, the advantages of adopting a 6 month old one seem to be greater and greater. She is probably already trained, fixed, and up to date on her shots. That means I would just have to re-budget to feed her and I have the money from selling my car, my savings, to pay for any medical issues that would arise (god forbid.) I think this sounds like a reasonable idea and Pickle might even be leaning towards it, too. We have discussed holidays and a stay at the Brooklyn Dog Ha*s is only $35/ night, which isn't as bad as I thought. And if I waited the time I am supposed to wait, we would have to deal with next year's Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't have very many vacation days, anyway. I really really hope that this can work out. I think this would be perfect. An already trained (hopefully and probably) girl pug?!?!!!!!
